"On został wychowany przez swoją babcię."

Translation: He was raised by his grandma.

He was brought up by his grandma ???

[Jellei]

Clearly an oversight, as 'brought up' was accepted in other sentences with 'wychowany'. Added.

Hi Jellei, I have just finished the Polish Tree - Thanks for all your help (& also immery). I had so much fun, and have begun to remember some of my polish. I look forward to visiting the site often.

[Jellei]

Congratulations and thanks for your kind words :)

Couldn´t it be: "He was raised by his own grandma?"
"own" would emphasize the reflexivity of the pronoun "swoja".

[Jellei]

We have an equivalent of 'own', and it's "własny" (and its forms), so while 'own' may be accepted somewhere, I think that generally there's no need to accept it. It adds a word.

You could say "przez swoją własną babcię", it would be correct, but of course 'własną' is more redundant than in English, as 'swoją' already says that it's his own and not some other guy's.

Does "raised up" not work?

[Jellei]

No, I don't think so.

[Danny326737]

We could say "brought up by..." in English, but I don't think its what the exercise is looking for.

[Jellei]

No, it's actually exactly the meaning, it works.

[WilliamPil9]

Once again, raised is American English. In the UK, Ireland, Australia, India and South Africa we say 'brought up.'

[Jellei]

This also works.

what about "He was reared by his grandma"?

[Jellei]

OK, added.
