"Am I big enough already?"

Translation: Czy jestem już wystarczająco duży?

[JudithStanley]

I put dość instead of wystarczająco. Is this incorrect?

[Jellei]

It's okay, "enough" is one of the meanings of "dość". Report it.

[JudithStanley]

Thanks. "Dość" is so much easier to remember.

[Jellei]

Just remember that in many contexts it can be ambiguous:

Ten mężczyzna jest dość wysoki = This man is tall enough.

Ten mężczyzna jest dość wysoki = This man is quite tall (this sounds like the more probable interpretation)

"Wystarczająco" has only this one meaning that is needed here, "dość" has two.

[JudithStanley]

Thanks. That's very clear.

[Euhan1]

Why is the "czy" obligatory in this phrase? I tried without and that was incorrect.

[Jellei]

Added an option without, although this does seem better with.

[roman_f1]

"Czy jestem już dosyć duży?" - why not?

[KVRMx]

It did not allow "Jestem duży dość już"- so it needs to be in the same word order as referenced in the heading to make sense in Polish? Which means it also would not allow "Jestem już duży dość" ?

[Jellei]

'dość' describes 'duży', so it should be in front of it.

Both your word orders are rather weird, I'm afraid.

[KVRMx]

(Just when I thought I was getting the " hang" of it too Jellei!!! Thanks. : / And never be afraid to speak the truth. :)

"Czy jestem już wystarczająco wysoki?"
Why isn't it accepted? It proposes "duży", but does that mean big in a sense of "tall" or "grown up" or "fat"? I am unsure.

[alik1989]

Well, technically it's about general size (not just height), but colloquially one can understand it as 'old enough'.

[Daniel736034]

Sometimes "już" can mean "anymore." Does that mean this could translate to "Am I big enough anymore?" If not, how would be said?

How do you know when "już" means "already" versus "anymore?'

[Jellei]

Wiktionary's three examples show it quite clearly: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/ju%C5%BC

Declarative sentence -> already

Question -> yet

Negative sentence -> anymore.

[Ibrahim395825]

In the hint there are translation of big - wielci, but when im writing it result is incorrect. Why?

[Jellei]

The hint came from a different sentence in a different course (English for Polish speakers - the hints are connected).

I added the correct hints for this sentence so they appear on top here.

[duoitaliano]

Would "Czy jestem już dorosły?" work here?

[alik1989]

Well, that's surely a correct sentence, but it means "Am I an adult already?"
