Must've been a good party

[Euhan1]

That's nothing, Tycho Brahe used to bring his pet moose to parties. It eventually died when it fell down the stairs drunk at a party at the castle in Landskrona.

Delirium tremens was the first thing I thought about this sentence)))))

[3ChordMe]

This is my favorite polish sentence Duolingo has given me so far.

Are we in the hallway, or the horse?

[Emwue]

If you are asking whether it should be parsed:

• Słyszymy (konia w korytarzu) or
• (Słyszymy konia) w korytarzu

It's the former – latter would require a comma(„Słyszymy konia, w korytarzu”).

[96314081311257]

Thank you, that's exactly what my question referred to. :)

[Lord_Pengwyn]

There is actually an old Dutch Carnaval-song about this...

[Spellbound13]

Or we might be in Pippi Longstocking's house ^_^

[Arnoldpitt]

Reminds me of a small boy who told hi mother "There's a cow in the passage!" It turned out to be visitor's St Bernard Dog.

Do Polish houses have very wide corridors?

[Jellei]

Well, that depends on the house ;)

[Neil395069]

Weirdest sentence so far :)

[Syldron]

Well, I don't know, I thought the cat cutting the tomatoes quickly and our fish wearing a shirt were even weirder.

[GalitSchwa]

That was probably just a Dr. Seuss reference.

Is konia genetive because of słyszymy?

[alik1989]

It's accusative. If you check the declension table for koń, you will see that the accusative form looks exactly like the genitive form, as it is the case with all masculine animate nouns.
A similar verb that requires genitive at all times (that you might have been refering to) is słuchać.

[John47134]

The "the" is missing from the answer.

[Jellei]

Where? You can answer with "[a/the] horse" and "[a/the] corridor", nothing seems to be missing.

[DavidCarver]

The Polish course is mercifully fairly free of the surreal sentences that Duo is fond of in other courses.

[alik1989]

You obviously haven't gotten to the pet-spider-eating sheep and shirt-wearing fish yet :)

[Baerchen_]

When should I use "w" rather than "na" and vice versa?
