"Our boys and our girls."

Translation: Nasi chłopcy i nasze dziewczynki.

[bluthbanana87]

You can't combine this into "Nasi chłopcy i dziewczynki" (so "nasi" refers to both "chłopcy" and "dziewczynki")?

[bruno.bach1]

Nasi chłopcy. Nasi ludzie. Not nasi kobiety or nasi dziewczynki.

[Walkinthedog]

What is the story on nasi? what is wrong with nasze, it's confusing/.

[Jellei]

"nasi" is masculine personal plural form. "nasze" is 'not masculine-personal' plural.

Actually "Nasze" would work with "chłopaki" (older boys)... it's a very weird exception.

[Jair_Master]

Almost everything is a very weird exception in this language.

[Walkinthedog]

This is the difficult part of not being in a classroom with the teacher, there is so much disparity between languages and customs that only the teacher can answer. Did I ask you once why my parents called clothes"husty" ?

[Jellei]

At least two times ;) And it's "chusty", at least nowadays.

[Walkinthedog]

So why is it not being used currently, has it just fallen out of, pardon me, fashion?

[MartinWlaz]

Why is there a difference between nasi and nasze when it comes to boys and girls ?

[Jellei]

Boys are masculine personal plural and girls are not masculine-personal plural. The first one is used almost exclusively for groups of all-male people and mixed gender groups of people, the latter for groups of all-female people and basically... everything else.

Apart from personified animals, like your pets or in cartoons, - they can go into the masculine personal group as well.

You can also check the declension on wiktionary.

[atasoybeyza]

why not ''dziewczyny''? ıf it is also true what is the difference?

[Jellei]

"dziewczyny" are accepted, it should have worked.

"dziewczynki" are younger girls, "dziewczyny" are older ones.

Same for "chłopcy" vs "chłopaki".
