        Is 'mleka' because is a negative sentence?

        Yes, as is the rule, direct object is marked by accusative in positive statements and by genitive in negations:

        • „Mam (kogo? co? accusative)mleko” but
        • „Nie mam (kogo? czego? genitive)mleka”

        "I haven't any milk" shouldn't be marked incorrect.

            What about "I don't have milk" ?

              Well, that's the most logical, basic answer. If it was rejected, it clearly must have been a bug.

              do not = don't is accepted automatically by the algorithm.

                  It's accepted, it should have worked.

                  no newborn → no milk
