"They both work in school."

Translation: Oboje pracują w szkole.

[Braito84]

If it is two men, could it be obydwoch?

[PonyDesu]

Obydwaj pracują w szkole.

[Braito84]

Dzieki!

[Zimowski]

"Oni oboje pracują w szkole" - if I wrote "one" instead of "oni" how would be "both" translated then?

[immery]

one obie/obydwie - two women
oni obaj/obydwaj - two men
oni oboje/obydwoje - a man and a woman

[awzool]

kill me please x.X

[Zimowski]

thank you!
btw, what if it's not about women?

Both tables were broken for example.
Obydwa/oboje stoły były zepsute?

[immery]

masculine not personal= oba/obydwa stoły
neuter not personal= oba/obydwa krzesła
feminine = obie/obydwie książki
children/babies (only personal neuter nouns I know)= oboje dzieci, oboje niemowląt (!!!)

(oboje always needs genitive)

[Zimowski]

thank you once again!

[BrightBadGoat]

"Oni obydwaj pracują w szkole" - this version didn't get accepted. I think it should have been.

[Jellei]

Sure, added now.

[MarjanvanK]

and what about : oni obaj pracują w szkole

[alik1989]

It's accepted.

[Krzysztof102]

That's true for my parents :P

[jack307754]

can you have 'obaj/obie pracuja w szkole'? because it doesn't state if the two people are a man and woman/two men/two women?

[Jellei]

Yes, all of the options are corrrect.

[Ivan390304]

at school

[Jellei]

It works.

[Kami12087]

Dlaczego nie "obydwie"?

[Jellei]

Probably because it's a less common form and someone forgot it. Added.

[Erik787431]

I wrote "One oboje pracują w szkole" why is this wrong?

[Erik787431]

maybe obie?

[Okcydent]

I advice you to look at post of immery in this thread to find more detailed answer. But yes, two women should go with: „obie” or „obydwie”.

[Jellei]

Either "Oni obaj" (they both are men), "One obie" (they both are women) or "Oni oboje" (one man, one woman).

[Taigaer]

I submitted: 'One oboje pracują w szkole.' It was counted wrong and 'Oni oboje pracują w szkole.' was said to be correct. I was thinking it didn't matter whether an 'e' or an 'i' was used. Am I right; or can someone explain how to know which should be used?

[Jellei]

Generally translating "both" is difficult because there are many options.

Just to discuss Nominative, you have "obaj" (two men), "obie" (two feminine nouns - so in this sentence two women) or "oboje" (one man, one woman). Also "oba" for two masculine/neuter nouns that are not people, but it's not an option here.

Now, if you use "oboje" (one man, one woman), you can't use "one", because "one" can't include a man. So as I wrote above, in this sentence you can use:

Either "Oni obaj" (they both are men), "One obie" (they both are women) or "Oni oboje" (one man, one woman).
