"Nie niosę kanapek do szkoły."

Translation: I am not carrying sandwiches to school.

[simiecia]

I understand that Polish uses other words when writing this sentence... but I sounds very odd in English to say "I am/am not carrying sandwiches" unless you are literally carrying them in your hands. In English it makes more sense to say I bring, or take.

can i also say. I do not take sandwíches to school?

[immery]

No this sentence is very peculiar. It means exactly what is translated.

Where are you carrying those sanwiches? To school?
No, I am not carrying sandwiches to school.

Niosę is the "right now" kind of verb, along with idę, płynę etc.

Nie noszę/nie biorę/nie zabieram kanapek do szkoły are what would be translated I do not carry/take/bring sandwiches to school.

[immerweiter]

so may i could say: i am not taking sandwiches to school?

[immery]

I do not know , because " i am not taking sandwiches to school" makes some sense and "Nie niosę kanapek do szkoły" does not.

[immerweiter]

and what about that? Biorę kanapki do szkoły

[immery]

That means I am taking/ I take sandwiches to school.

And nie biorę kanapek do szkoły means I am not taking/ I do not take sandwiches to school.

the "not" is missing
