"Słuchacie tego mężczyzny?"

Translation: Are you listening to this man?

[bluthbanana87]

Why is the genitive used here? I thought that was used to show possession.

[Jellei]

Well, there are only 7 cases - so it would be hard to have one only for possession. It has numerous usages. Luckily, there's a brand new topic on that: check here.

Would it be incorrect to say that "słuchać" means both "to hear" and "to listen." Which is the closer meaning?

[Jellei]

It doesn't mean both. "słuchać" is to listen. "słyszeć" is to hear.

[Yola448704]

Słuchacie tego mężczyzny? - Are you listening to/ Do you listen to
this/that man?/ Are you obeying/ Do you obey this/that man?

Słyszycie tego mężczyznę? - Can you/ Do you hear this/that man?

[Jellei]

True, it technically could mean "obey", added.
