Questions & Answers about Moja nowa bluza ma duży kaptur i długie rękawy.

What does ma mean here?

Ma means has.

It is the 3rd person singular form of the verb mieć (to have):

• mam = I have
• masz = you have
• ma = he/she/it has

Because bluza is grammatically singular, Polish uses ma.

Why are moja and nowa written with -a?

Because they describe bluza, and bluza is a feminine singular noun.

In Polish, words like possessives and adjectives must agree with the noun they describe in:

• gender
• number
• case

So:

• moja = my, feminine singular
• nowa = new, feminine singular
• bluza = sweatshirt/top, feminine singular

That is why you get moja nowa bluza, not mój nowy bluza.
