        Very odd sentence

        It's perfectly normal, although it's a bit more common to hear Czyj to płaszcz?

        The English is a little weird, though. (But the correct English of "Whose coat is this?" is accepted, so it's not a big problem.)

          Does "czyj" change gender with the object being talked about?

            Yes.

            Czyj/Czyja/Czyje for singular, Czyi/Czyje for plural.

              Just like the Ukrainian "Czy ce pal'to"

                Whose is the coat sounds very weird to me as a native English speaker.

                  'the' is merely accepted, as an... interpretation of 'ten'.

                  Oh wait, I just assumed that, but it's a starred answer. Removed from starred answers.

                      Works. If you use "this coat" instead of "it" ;)
