"Je slepice pták?"

Translation: Is a hen a bird?

[BjrnMrtens]

Am I lazy if I say "Is hen a bird"? It wasn't accepted.

[BoneheadBass]

Both "a" and "the" are accepted. But "Is hen a bird" sounds like you're asking if someone whose name is Hen is a bird... :-)

[Artashes98]

"Is hen a bird?", "Is wolf a predator?" sound very natural in English without an article.

[svrsheque]

perhaps to some ESL speakers they do.

[Artashes98]

And to a lot of native English speakers (as the Google testifies).

[BoneheadBass]

Can this word order can only mean "Is a hen a bird," and not the other way around? I would assume this is the case, but wanted to ask.

[kacenka9]

to make sense this is the only possible order. But then, it is the same in English for once.

[R.V.0]

Prosim, lze: Does is a hen a bird?
