"To tylko kwestia czasu."

Translation: It is just a matter of time.

[israellai]

Does this come from the same word as 'quest'? That'd be so cool! It is a quest of time.

why is it mistake here: It is only an issue of time?

[Jellei]

We had a mistake in the Incubator, fixed now.

[zagadka314]

I wrote, "This is only a timing issue." Is this also correct? It said it was wrong. It does NOT mean the same as "…just a matter of time." I thought of this because of the hints.

[Jellei]

What does this mean? Something about "good timing"/"bad timing" to do/say something? If so, then I don't think it suits the Polish sentence.

[zagadka314]

"Just a matter of time" makes something sound inevitable. "This is only a timing issue" doesn't say anything about inevitability.

[Jellei]

I'd go for the inevitability in Polish.

[JanLania]

Could one say pytania instead of kwestia in this sentence?

[Jellei]

No, that doesn't make sense. Also, even if, it would be "pytanie".

[Marek882373]

why answer " this is only question of time " is not accepted?

[Jellei]

It needs an article before "question".
