Questions & Answers about Córka lubi rysować koty, a syn woli malować samochody.
Why is it córka and syn, without any word for the or a?
Polish has no articles like English the or a/an. Nouns appear without them, and context tells you whether you mean a daughter, the daughter, my daughter, etc.
- córka = daughter (here: the/a daughter depending on context)
- syn = son (here: the/a son)
If you needed to be explicit, you could add a possessive:
- Moja córka lubi rysować koty. – My daughter likes to draw cats.
- Mój syn woli malować samochody. – My son prefers to paint cars.
Why are córka and syn in this form, not córkę or syna?
