I am never going to be able to spell this...

[knoakes]

Why is "a girl..." rejected but "the girl..." is not?

[EvaPtakov1]

This sentence doesn't mean "the" girl, Polish doesn't make a difference in "a", "the" and nothing, that's comig from the context, this is some bs...

[Jellei]

It either means "a girl" or "the girl", that comes from context, so both are accepted. Just "girl" would not create a correct English sentence.

[kjackows]

I am getting confused about whether or not there is the accent on the final "a" in "diewczynka." In a previous sentence, I didn't put the accent and I got an "almost correct" because I did not include the accent, but in this sentence, the word is listed without the accent. I am not sure which is correct/if both is correct, and if both are correct, when should I include the accent?

[tadjanow]

By the way, it's not an accent. 'a' and 'ą' are two different letters.

I suppose the word you are looking for is 'diacritical mark' (or simply 'diacritic'), this particular one is called 'ogonek'.

[ngfio]

And, by the way, "ogonek" means "little tail".

[mihxal]

They are the same word but in two different forms which depend on function of the word in a sentence. Have you read basic information about Instrumental? Look here: https://www.duolingo.com/skill/pl/Defining or here: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Polish/Noun_cases#Instrumental

"dziewczynka" [Nominative] -> "dziewczynką" [Instrumental]
