"Zamykasz drzwi twojego domu."

Translation: You are closing the door to your house.

[Brandon469259]

One would normall say "door of the house".
"the door to X" is usually only used when X is the place on the other side of door, eg "That is the door to the kitchen".

[BenYoung84]

Yes but it's highlighting one door as being more significant than others as it is very unlikely to only have one door in a house. With only one door defining the house then it is most likely a door to the exterior.

can i say swojego domu

[Jellei]

Yes, it will sound a lot better actually. Unfortunately the course introduces "swój" quite late and there are a lot of not-that-natural sentences because of that.

[jack307754]

why not "you close doors in your house"... it fits perfectly? dziekuje

[Halyna2000]

So 'zamykasz' means 'you are closing' And why not 'you close the door...' in present simple? Well, how that would be in polish ?

[MattMattM]

You are closing the door in your house? Or would that be
Zamykasz drzwi w twoim domu

[Jellei]

Yes, that would be "w twoim domu", although that seems to me like a strange thing to say - why not specify to which room?

"twojego domu" implies this is the main entrance door.

[JuliaHeidt]

Since "door"is plural in polish how would you say: "you are closing THE DOORS of your house"??

[alik1989]

"Zamykasz wszystkie drzwi (do) swojego domu".

[Jellei]

"wszystkie" means "all", to be precise. And if in your context those are plural 'doors' but not all of them, then I guess you'd just say "Zamykasz drzwi", same as when you just have one.

[Rhysonance]

"you close your home door" is not what any native English speaker would say

[Jellei]

Even if, the main translation is "You are closing the door to your house."

[Maruf89]

I agree, it's not clear whether this is imperative in which case I would omit the "you" in the beginning and just say "Close the door to your house" which is much more common in English.

[Jellei]

The Polish sentence is clearly declarative.

[bread3287]

It would be better as "you are closing your front door"

[Jellei]

Well, it misses the word 'domu' completely and not every door to the house has to be from the front side...

[Jeanette364461]

Why not "you shut the door at your house"?

[Arnoldpitt]

Is there a separate verb for lock . My wife seems to use zamykac for both which can be confusing.

[Jellei]

You can simply use "zamykać"/"zamknąć", but you can be more specific and add "na klucz" (lock with a key) or "na zasuwę/zasuwkę" (lock with a latch).

[Tuman88]

"Zamykasz drzwi do swojego domu." Is this correct?

[alik1989]

Yes, it's an accepted answer.

[DavidCarver]

why is "of your house" wrong?

[Jellei]

It's an accepted answer, it should have worked.

[AntiocoLuc]

"You are closing the door of your house" or "You are closing your house's door"
The way it is now it sounds a bit like you are closing the door TO the house as if you are leaving your house outside your door

[Jellei]

Our British contributor confirmed that "to your house" is a very natural thing to say, so it "of your house", but not really "your house's door".
