In Polish slang "słoń" do not have "secret" meaning. "Jego ptak jest duży" or "Ma dużego/wielkiego ptaka" suggest size of "penis".
Ok, so jego is either genetive (on, ono) or accusative (on). Which case is it here and why ?
„Jego” is normal possessive pronoun and it does not decline. To be precise pronouns: jego, jej and ich do not decline at all, but others like mój, twój, swój do. So if the pronoun was different we would use nominative here.
I thought "on" in accusative is also "jego" like in "widzisz jego?" Is this sentence incorrect?
I wrote swon instead of słoń mistakenly for being distracted and it told me I was right.....? A bug or is it something that should be reported
Not even a 'you made a typo' message? Was it a listening exercises? Those currently have a bug that means you don't get a message about a typo :/
As Duolingo allows you to not use Polish special characters, I guess "swon" is just one letter away from 'slon" (which would be accepted as an answer without the special characters), so it's not THAT far...
We think that 'huge' is bigger than just 'big'. We would translate it as 'olbrzymi' or 'ogromny'.
"smart" usually translates to "mądry", although frankly if we translate it back into English, that seems closer to "clever" or even "wise". Strange word.
