"I still work as a doctor."

Translation: Ja wciąż pracuję jako lekarz.

[pie3636]

Why is it jako here? I have trouble understanding the endings of jak/jako/jaki etc.

[mihxal]

"jako" means "as (someone/something)"

"jak" means "like/as"

"jaki/jaka/jakie" means "what kind/what"

[Donoav]

is it natural to omit the 'ja'?

[swedelmu]

When I say: "Ja jeszcze pracuje' jako lekarz", is there a difference?

[Jellei]

It sounds to me as "but soon, I won't be working anymore". While "wciąż" and "nadal" sound as "I still am and I am planning to".

Not sure if that's what other people would see in those sentences, though.

[jovimcg]

I tried using "lekarka" instead of "lekarz" but I guess it wasn't among the accepted answers.

[Jellei]

Which is an oversight, added now.

What is wrong with ja pracuję wciąż jako lekarz?

[alik1989]

I needed to look this one up in the corpus, but apparently it's acceptable. Added.

[Julia604611]

So does that mean it would sound unnatural to you?

[Jellei]

It sounds a bit off to me, you made it "still as a doctor" rather than "still work". But I also agree that it's acceptable.

[Rich615782]

Why isn't it "jako lekarzem" here?

[Jellei]

"jako" takes the Nominative case. I don't know if there's some logic behind it, that's just something to remember.

[SheldonLee888]

Is the ( ja ) an important factor to the beginning of this sentence or can it be omitted?
Dziękuję

[Jellei]

It actually is usually omitted. Too many Duolingo sentences use it without an important reason, we're currently working on fixing that.

So why not "Wciąż pracuję lekarzem"?

[Jellei]

I believe that's a direct translation from Russian (or a similar language?). But a Polish person who doesn't speak any Russian will probably look at you very, very confused. I'm afraid it's just nonsense in Polish. The best way to make sense of it (grammatically) is "I still work using a doctor".
