"Szukam nowej grupy przyjaciół."

Translation: I am looking for a new group of friends.

Is there an etymological reason as to why przyjaciel is changed to przyjaciół?

[bjoerneisenseite]

I wrote "I seek a new group of friends" and it was rejected. Shouldn't this be acceptable?

[Jellei]

Yeah, "seek" is still missing in some sentences. Added here.

[ChrisTauer2]

I tried "I'm looking for a new friend group." and it was rejected. Is there a separate word for "friend group"? Otherwise I suppose we should stick to "group of friends" emphasizing the genitive.

[Jellei]

That seems perfectly fine, added.

[Alsweetex]

"A new friendship group" is the more natural way to say this (for me), but we do use the word friend as an adjective as well, as in "friend request".

[polec2]

Is przyjaciól in the genetive case?

[Jellei]

Yes. Needs to be added to the hover tips...

[polec2]

Thank you for the clarification :)

[LeeJurga]

If przyjaciól is masculine/personal/plural, shouldn't Nowy be decline to Nowych and grupa declined to "grup".

It seems that Nowy is declined based on "grupa"... i.e. singular/feminine/genitive and not based on przyjaciól.

Is that correct?

[Jellei]

Well, the group is new. For the form of "new", it doesn't matter what is that a group of. So yes, you are correct.

[Frecklebuster]

Szukam nowej grupy przyjaciół - the 'hover' over 'nowej' on the main exercise and the discussion page still shows 'locative' instead of genitive.

[Jellei]

Well, it's both Genitive and Locative. Added the Genitive hint.

[NickFleck]

This sounds like the world of internet, virtual, and so-called friends.

Why isn't 'I am looking for a group of new friends' accepted?

[Jellei]

Because in the original Polish sentence it's undoubtedly "new group", not "new friends". Your sentence is "Szukam grupy nowych przyjaciół".
