Story dedicated to @fluffyjoshler
In this chapter we are going to learn people/osoby (like i, you, he and so on)
This one is really important in Polish because it depends on a person which ending you should use.
Singular
I - Ja /ya/
You - Ty /tyy/
He - On
She - Ona
It - OnoPlural
We - My /myy/
You - Wy / vyy/
They - Oni
They - One /onea/And here's the answer on your question you probably asked in your head and you may me confused about.
'why 'they' two times?'
The answer is : because in Polish we have plural version of 'He' and 'She'.
° 'Oni' is plural version of he
° 'One' is plural version of sheNow endings. We add them to verbs like:
To drink / pić /
SingularI drink/ I'm drinking - Ja piję
You drink/'re drinking - Ty pijesz
He drinks/'s drinking- On pije
She drinks/'s drinking- Ona pije
It drinks/'s drinking- Ono/to pijePlural
We drink/'re drinking- My pijemy
You drink/'re drinking- Wy pijecie
They(males) drink/'re drinking- Oni piją
They(females) drink/'re drinking- One piją
More examples? Here you are:
To be / być/
It may be a little confusing now but you don't say/write:
Ja być, ty być/byjesz , on byje , ona byje, ono byje and so on.
Instead you have to say/write
Ja JESTEM
Ty JESTEŚ
On JEST
Ona JEST
Ono JESTMy JESTEŚMY
Wy JESTEŚCIEOni SĄ
One SĄSo almost in every example there are some patterns you've probably already noticed.
* on/ona/ono always has the same verb( has the same ending)
* oni/one always has the same ending of a verb as well.More examples:
To lay- / leżeć /
Singular
Ja JEM
Ty JESZOn JE
Ona JE
Ono JEPlural
My JEMY
Wy JECIEOni JEDZĄ
One JEDZĄMY - always ends with 'y'
-(my) żyjemy(we live)
-(my) mamy (we have)IF YOU WANT TO SAY SOMEONE FOR EXAMPLE HAVE (something)
You don't have to add person like (ja, my etc)
ONLY WITH:
Ja (I)
Ty( You)
My ( We )
Wy (You-plural)Why is that? Because the ending of each verb with these people(ja,ty,my,wy) says what the person is doing/does itself.
You don't have it in English though.
Here's little tip: if you succeed in creating from a verb the first person version (ja-I) you will succeed in creating other versions. All you need to do is cut ending:To have - Mieć
First, let's create the first person version
Ja-MAm
Now all you have to do is cut the ending (m)
Ty- ma +(the ending to 2nd person) 'sz'
It means the 2nd person looks like that:
Ty MAszGreat! I'm sure you predicted it!
Simple, isn't it?
Now, let's go further.
On/Ona/ono :
Ma(like earlier)+ nothing. It doesn't have it's own ending. It's just 'ma'
So: on/ona/ono: ma
Now you are that all you need is to find the part (which od at the begining of the verb) and add person's ending of a verb( od like in On/Ona/Ono don't add anything)
PLURAL
MY - MAmy
Wy - MAcie
Oni - MAją
One - MAjąThis is it! You've done do good! I'm proud!
GOOD NEWS!IN POLISH WE HAVE
ONLY
3 TENSES!1)Past (Przeszły)
2)Present (Teraźniejszy)
3)Future (Przyszły)
