Why I can't answer: "Owszem, jem chleb?"

[Jellei]

Because we don't teach this word and no one suggested such an option before ;) Added, because it's good.

Although "Yes, I do eat bread" would fit even better for "owszem".

[jpalongo]

Is it also correct to say "Jestem jem chleb"?

[Jellei]

No. You cannot translate the construction of Present Continous so literally, because it does not make absolutely any sense in Polish. You basically just wrote "I am I eat bread".

[Beatstronaut]

Wouldn't it be "Ja jem cheb"?

[Jellei]

It can be. It's just totally redundant. "jem" makes it obvious that the subject of the sentence is "I", so it would be repeating the information.
