"Dlaczego ty gotujesz zupę?"

Translation: Why are you cooking soup?

[Elvashak]

"ty" could be omitted in this sentence, right?

[Emd06]

Correct. Adding an -sz ending to the verb is the same as saying "ty".

[EinarSig]

Yeah, you're supposed to eat it!!

[tryingveryhard]

The voice doesn't sound like it's asking a question. I'm not trying to be whiny or anything, it's not really that important, but it does kinda bother me... I know you can't really fix stuff like that but I thought it wouldn't hurt to let someone know.

[ChrisFlynn12]

As with English "to make", would robisz also make sense here?

[Jellei]

Yes, that's very common.

[ChristineB958863]

either should be accepted

[Jellei]

We don't know what you're referring to.

[ChristineB958863]

ty or sz

[Jellei]

'sz'? What?

[ChristineB958863]

same question as emd06

[Jellei]

Well, what emd06 wrote was a very unusual way of putting it... "gotujesz" already means that it's 2nd person singular, so indeed "ty" can be used, but it can also easily be omitted.

I close my eyes to hear before I read the text.

This sentence is a really good example of how much I still need to train my ears to separate words in the correct place....

I was pretty sure she was saying "Dlaczego tego tu jesz zupę"

But I realised that would be grammatically wrong so had to keep playing it til I finally got it. :(
