Questions & Answers about Zwycięzca chce rewanżu, ale przeciwnik odpada z gry.
Because some Polish masculine personal nouns end in -a. Zwycięzca is one of them.
So even though the ending may look feminine to an English-speaking learner, in this sentence it means the winner and is treated grammatically as a masculine personal noun. Its nominative singular form is zwycięzca.
For a specifically female winner, Polish often uses zwyciężczyni.
Chce is the 3rd person singular form of chcieć = to want.
So:
- ja chcę = I want
- ty chcesz = you want
- on / ona / ono chce = he / she / it wants
Here the subject is zwycięzca, so zwycięzca chce means the winner wants.
