I don't know if this is because I am a very lonely person but I find this very romantic.

Probably the worst pronunciation of the whole course. It sounded like: "Ona n ja jen i kablka" (l with a stroke)

Can it not be "She and I eat apples." ??


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Jellei

It is exactly the answer that I see, one of two 'best answers'.

we are each eating ONE apple at the time

why "jemy"? Why not just jem?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Vengir

There are two subjects in this sentence doing the same thing. For the purposes of verb conjugation, you treat them as a one combined. Basically, she + I = we. Thus „my jemy”.

Makes sense, thank you.

Why is it not jedzą? Two people eating is plural surely?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/alik1989

'Jedzą' is 'they eat'. This sentence requires 'we eat'.


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/Matthewsula

This sentence includes "I" or "ja" though, so it has to be "jemy". "Jedzą" would exclude "I", would exclude the speaker.

Why can it NOT be her and I???

It's in one of the comments below yours: "Her and I" is definitely wrong, because you're using an object pronoun for the subject.
