Panie i panowie, mamy go!

[uq.]

heeeeey a fun sentence in the polish course

[TseDanylo]

heeeeey why don't you post something releavant

[deactivated user]

Could "go" here also refer to things that would in English be translated as "it", such as when it refers to a dog (since it's masculine in Polish)? Thank you!

[Jellei]

Yes, it could indeed. As long as it's masculine in Polish.

With Genitive, it could be either masculine or neuter.

[deactivated user]

Thank you!

What's the difference between "go" and "jego"?

[immery]

none in meaning. "Jego" is used in accented position in the sentence (always at the beginning, often at the end if a sentence is longer) , or to stress the word, "go" is used only in not accented position in a sentence.

Accented position is also after preposition, but genitive=accusative form of "on" has "niego" for that.

[TseDanylo]

Wait so is jego or go stressed?

[immery]

jego is stressed, go is not.

[achipa19]

satanic laugh We have him! MAMY GO!!!

[AnneMacek]

in our clutches!

[JakubPomor]

You don't necessarily important to have the "We", as it just means "Got him". However in an exam they may not be that kind

[losik55]

Tried to listen five or even six times but couldn't hear mamy. I heard something like nane.

[achipa19]

Maybe because the "y" sound is not identical to the "i" one; it's pronounced somewhere between "e" and "i"

[dzenilee]

What does this mean exactly? It's unclear from the English translation alone what this phrase means (because of the ambiguity of "have"). Can you provide some contexts in which you'd say "Mamy go!"?

[RobinB896941]

As an English speaker (UK), I (and steven.van4?) imagine a crime story where an elusive suspect is finally arrested, and at the press conference the police spokesperson says "Ladies and gentlemen, we have him!" (or: "We've got him!").

Mikesjg definitely assumes a kidnapping.

A native Polish speaker might know other connotations of "Mamy go!"
