Is "odpowiedź" a neuter name?

[immery]

many feminine nouns end with soft or semi soft consonants. All neuter nouns end with vovel.

most consonant ending feminine nouns have singular accusative=singular nominative. they also tend to have singular genitive=plural nominative=plural genitive=plural accusative.

Yes, that's something that immery has missed, the -um ending is neuter.

[Jellei]

It's feminine actually. Behaves kinda like neuter - which is seen in the fact it didn't change the form here, in Accusative.

I'm working on understanding Polish grammar and thought I would share my thought process as it may help others, and to check if my understanding is correct.

• Znamy is used because we want to describe the people doing the 'knowing' in the 1st person plural (we).

• Odpowiedź is used because the 'answer' in this sentence is in the accusative case because it is the direct object of the action (to know).

[lex573871]

"We know a response" is considered a typo. Absurd!

[Jellei]

Obviously a mistake, fixed now.

[tyleryounesrocks]

isn't wiemy odpowierdz more appropriate?

[Jellei]

No, it's not. Your level in Spanish is lower, but maybe it helps you to know that "wiedzieć" is like "saber" and "znać" is like "conocer".

Anyway, see here: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/25535826

tl;dr: "wiedzieć" is for "to know, that X", "to know about X"; while "znać" is for "to know X".

[tyleryounesrocks]

right, those verbs are how I translated it. I guess I thought it was se la respuesta not conozco la respuesta
