No-one on The Real Housewives for one.

[rpanczak14]

You can't tell me how to live Duo

[Euhan1]

So, it's more of a breakfast?

[King2E4]

The comments in this discussion are priceless! :)

[quiestinliteris]

I beg to differ.

[Carlossynt]

Wódka jest kolacja!

[Ollyfer]

Wodka jest jedzenią dla całej dna.

[alik1989]

*Wódka to jedzenie na cały dzień ;)

[Ollyfer]

I knew that I made a mistake, but I don't consider choosing the construction with the instrumental case one. ;-)
Still, thanks a lot for correcting me! But shouldn't the “cały dzień” be adjusted in accordance to the preceding “na”? This confuses me a little bit.

[alik1989]

In a time context, na takes the accusative case:

Dziewczyna na jedną noc / wspomnienia na całe życie / wyjechać na dłuższy czas...

And dzień is masculine inanimate, so the accusative looks just like the nominative form.

The instrumental version of this sentence would be:

Wódka jest jedzeniem na cały dzień

The -ą instrumental ending only applies to nouns ending in -a.

Somehow the instrumental version feels less natural here, but I don't exactly know why.

[Jellei]

I usually connect the possibility of using Instrumental with the possibility of using a/an in English, which ("a food") seems kinda okay but not the best.

[deactivated user]

Yes, it is!

[Draugtaur]

Wine transcends pityful labels like "dinner" or "lunch"

[Jamie301420]

I don't need this kind of negativity in my life

[lenyguy]

I thought this was poland?

[WeLoveToSeeIt]

Not with that attitude it isn't.

[AndrewWawr1]

It's more lunch. A liquid lunch.

[Glen624972]

Ale bez wina to nie obiad

[Glen624972]

Wino? Nie. Wódka, tak!

[JoyceThomp6]

Why couldn't you say wine is not for dinner/supper?

[King2E4]

There is nothing in the Polish sentence that corresponds to 'for dinner'.

[richard.birks]

Wino nie jest kolacją, to jest śniadanie !

[CatherineJ480062]

It is now.
