          Yes. Neuter singular nouns have Accusative identical to Nominative.

              Is the L with a slash pronounced like an L in english? And does Polish have a non-slashed L?

                Ł is roughly equivalent to English W.

                L is used a lot in Polish, yes.

                  Why we use both, my and mamy

                  My = we Mamy = we have

                  So it's we we have?

                  Sorry i'm beginner in polish

                    You can do it, it's not wrong. But usually it's pretty redundant. As this is the beginning of the course, many sentences use it, but as you go further, most of the sentences will only treat it as an acceptable option.

                      is the repetition there in order to show emphasis if the "we"?

                          Yeah, it can be. "Ty masz mleko. - My mamy jabłko". It contrasts 'us' from 'you'.

                            Im 18/20 on lever 4...only see sentences with "we have" en not a single one with "we are eating". Maybe unlucky, haha, but i really want to know what ending "eating" gets with "My je-..."?
