Conjugation of verbs.

mają = they have, ma = he/she/it has.

Because the form of the verb makes the pronoun usually obvious, we very often omit it.

Take a look at conjugation of this specific verb here.

Hi Marek. Your comments are very helpful, so could I suggest that you give full web addresses (that Duo automatically turns into links), as formatted links can't be used from the Android app. :)

[Jellei]

Yes, I was informed about that some time ago and I started giving full web addresses. The aesthetic-loving part of me is in pain, but if it helps more people... ;)

Thanks. It's a great help to us app-users.

Is the pronunciation [jabko] of 'jabłko' correct? (I hear it so).

[Jellei]

Yes, while Polish almost doesn't have silent letters, it is a bit too much to pronounce the Ł in "jabłko".

[askrahn]

so are there definite and indefinite articles, or does it not matter? I'm just starting, but it seems random so far.

[Jellei]

There are no articles in Polish. Both definite and indefinite are correct every time... well, unless one is incorrect or at least strange in English on its own.

[kathersis]

I think that the article "the" can be skipped, and it is not a mistake.
It didn't say anything about a specific man.

[Jellei]

Then you can make it "A man", sure. But you definitely cannot 'skip' the article.
