"To ciekawe."

Translation: This is interesting.

When you want to say "to" and it's followed by an adjective, is the adjective always neuter?

[Tom873317]

Yes... my understanding is that "to + [adj]" can only be used to talk about something abstract, and the adj is always in neuter form. But as immery says above, you can also say "to + [noun phrase]", and if the [noun phrase] starts with an adjective, it still goes with the gender of the noun.

So: "to ciekawe" (for abstract things only), but more generally "to ciekawa książka"

[wiktorka234]

All right, but if I wanted to say "it's amazing," could I use "to świetnie" or " to świetne?"

[Tom873317]

świetnie, used by itself is an adverb, but "to świetne" as an adjective

[juanalcat]

Since "to ciekawe" doesn't have a verb, couldn't it be translated as "Interesting"?

[immery]

"To" is the word that replaces "this is".

[Tom873317]

I thought I read early on that "to" can only be used like this with nouns. Is that just wrong, or am I missing some other point?

[immery]

it can be only used with nouns in the sentences with subject like książka jest ciekawa but it is used in "this is" sentences,

[Tom873317]

OK, thanks, so if I have this: "książka jest ciekawa" is correct, "książka to ciekawa" is wrong, but "to ciekawa" is ok, talking about the książka?

[immery]

no. To ciekawe can only be in neuter, and it is about something said, described, something happening, something you see. It is about a scene, a sentence, not about an object.

You can say to ciekawa książka, or jest ciekawa or ta książka jest ciekawa

Does "to cie kawe" mean "is this your coffee"?

[ZosiaD5]

"To jest twoja kawa ?" albo "To twoja kawa ?"
"To cie kawe? " don't exist

[AnneMacek]

Liaisons put me in a creative mind. I was thinking of: It's you, coffee.

[Jellei]

Interesting :D Still, grammatically, it would need to be "To ty, kawo".
