"coś" requires a form that ends with -ego. Whether it's Accusative or Genitive, I'm still not sure. Probably Genitive, as 'coś' itself is neuter and for neuter, only Genitive ends with -ego.
Feels like French and Italian (quelque chose de bon/qualcosa di buono) and therefore not as odd as many Polish constructions. However, I am struggling with the perfective business. I understand the principle of a single, finished action, but what would be the difference between 'co chcesz zjesc/ and co chcesz jesc'? Or is the second not possible anyway? Maybe it would have to be 'co lubisz jesc'? Thanks!
"Co chcesz jeść?" is possible, it's not even that weird to my ear, but "zjeść" makes more sense.
"Co lubisz jeść?" surely makes more sense than with 'zjeść' because this is a general notion.
it's always neuter. but for some reason nominative and accusative of something+ adjective, are
coś+ adjective in genitive
The usual word order is Subject-Verb-Object, unless that object is a pronoun, in which case we avoid putting it at the end of the sentence.
True. The algorithm isn't good with understanding the types of mistakes.
