Czemu powinienem pisać 'tamtego' i nie 'tamten'? Widzę https://pl.wiktionary.org/wiki/ten, ale nie znam 'męskorzeczowy (mrz)', i Google Translate nie zna tamtego słowa też...
Depends on the case, and the gender. "słyszeć" needs Accusative. The Accusative masculine form of "tamten" is either "tamtego" or "tamten". We here prefer to teach that "tamtego" is for animate nouns, and "tamten" for inanimate.
The thing is, that a lot of things, mostly food and beverages, are considered grammatically animate for no real reason. But that's not a problem here. "mężczyzna" is definitely animate, so it's "tamtego mężczyznę".
