"Those chickens are mine."

Translation: Ta kuřata jsou má.

[DoktorLeo]

Why is "Ty slepice jsou moje?" not accepted?

[tatka_]

Pro překlad "Ty slepice jsou moje" je vhodnější "Those hens are mine."

[MikeRejsa]

Why isn't "Ty kurata jsou moje?" not accepted? (note: with proper hachek over r) - i.e. why ma rather than moje?

[VladaFu]

ta kuřata, not ty kuřata

[Vpoho]

How would you choose between using má and moje..?

[VladaFu]

In this case it is just personal preference. To me (and it may be more general), "má" sounds more formal and will be less natural for a normal converstion but perfectly natural when writing a text.

[HowardDavi16]

Would mojé or mojí be acceptable in spoken conversations?

[Janmunroe]

So... Is "ma" in this situation (i.e. "mine" vs. "my animals") still in the accusative? Or have we surreptitiously slipped into another case?

[VladaFu]

There is no accusative in sight. The is just something is something, everything is in nominative.

[Janmunroe]

Okie-dokie!
