"Twój kot siedział na moim fotelu."

Translation: Your cat was sitting on my armchair.

[BenYoung84]

"in" does not work well here. It should be "on".

[eannaoc]

Agree

[Jellei]

We discussed it and decided that "in" is acceptable, but "on" should be the main answer. Changed now.

[AnCatDubh]

‘You mean his throne.’

[two.dots]

It's its armchair meow.

[WellingtonCatnip]

Why not sat on armchair as a translation? is that perfective?

[BenYoung84]

That would usually be imperfective.

[JPHQRO]

Why is "your cat was sitting on my chair" wrong? Would it require a different preposition?

[BenYoung84]

The biggest problem is that fotel specifically means armchair, not just chair.

[JPHQRO]

As an English speaker, I never use the word armchair. It sounds antiquated to my ears.

[Celioluzverde]

JPHQRO:

Which word do you use instead of ARMCHAIR?

[Jellei]

My guess is "chair".

[JPHQRO]

Yes, chair. Another American English speaker made that comment before I did, but I didn't see it previously.

[JoanieKatz]

cat sat---same as---was sitting

[George829445]

Yup.
