We hate, when you compare Polish to Ukrainian. When you are from Poland, you see the differences.
Polish and Spanish are even further apart, but they still share a lot of common features that both languages inherited from Proto-Indo-European. Would you also hate it if I compared Polish and Spanish?
You should use mam only when you want to say I have ( ja mam). ,,Ma" you should use with 3rd person (he, she, it - on, ona, ono/to), for example She has got - ona ma. So mam is like English have, but used only with the 1st person (I- ja) and ma is like has used in 3 rd person. Remember- i explained only about singular, not plural.
Can someone put a chart with all polish conjugation because I am so confused!
Mieć infinitive
Mam I have
Masz you have
On/ona/ono ma he/she/it has
Mamy we have
Macie you (plural) have
Mają they have
I am confusing about ma and mam. Can someone explains when should I use ma or mam?
Anybody have any suggestions as to where I could find verb conjugation tables? Online preferably
Polish has noun cases. When the noun is the subject, it uses the nominative case.
Chłopiec ma jabłko.
When the noun follows the verb "to be" (am/is/are), it uses the instrumental case.
Aktor jest chłopcem. = The actor is a boy.
On your questions, you should say why each question is wrong. If it is wrong how are we supposed to improve on our answers with no explanation?
I think we're supposed to come to the comment section so that a professional can answer your questions rather than a computer, but I definitely see your frustration.
What is "the boy" if chłopiec is "a boy" please? And why are there so many words for boy?
There are no articles in Polish. Definite or indefinite nouns are determined by context.
