"Buy more food."

Translation: Kup więcej jedzenia.

[PelegPaste]

Why is "Kupcie" correct? Doesn't it mean "you buy"?

[Jellei]

You will use "Kup" when talking to one person, and "Kupcie" when talking to more people.

[blairecoucher]

Is jedzenie in the genitive as opposed to the accusative here because of the "więcej," which indicates a shortage/lack of food?

[Jellei]

Basically "więcej" is a quantifier and every (I believe) quantifier takes Genitive in Polish.

Dlaczego nie "żywności"?

[blairecoucher]

If I remember right, "żywność" better translates to "nourishment," and it can also mean "food," but only when referring to food accompanied by drink. Also, I don't believe that "żywność" is included in this course, but if it were I think it should be accepted as the sentence is out of context.

[alik1989]

I believe it's accepted in other similar sentences. The problem is that it's too formal for such a simple phrase.
