"Our horse is eating slowly."

Translation: Nasz koń je wolno.

[claudiuas]

are powoli and wolno the same? Here both work but I wonder if there are some exceptions

[Jellei]

If it means "slowly", then yes.

But "wolno" can also mean that something is allowed.

[artdob]

Why would "Nasz koń wolno je" be incorrect?

[Gerardd88]

It is correct and sounds equally natural. Report it next time you see it.

Another sentence I feel certain I'll need to use next time I'm in Poland

[Walkinthedog]

When is pomalu used if ever, that's a word we always used insread of wolno.

[alik1989]

This is like "gradually", "step-by-step", "little-by-little" or "bit-by-bit". It doesn't work everywhere "wolno" does, but we do accept it here.

[pablosuau]

When should I use wolno and when should I use wolniej? I used wolniej in this sentence, an adverb, because it was related to the veb to eat...

[Jellei]

'wolno' is just an adverb, and 'wolniej' is a comparative form of that adverb. It means 'more slowly' (than something).

[pablosuau]

I see the difference now. That was useful, thank you.

[Klaudialk]

Can we use "pomału" here?

[Jellei]

OK, added.

[RichSuch]

Perfect phrase for explaining why the dinner conversation seems to be dragging on, our horse is taking their sweet old time
