Questions & Answers about Moja siostra chowa dwanaście flamastrów do pudełka po lekcji.
Why is it moja siostra and not mój siostra?
Because siostra is a feminine noun, and the possessive adjective my must agree with it in gender, number, and case.
- moja = feminine singular nominative
- mój = masculine singular nominative
Since siostra is the subject of the sentence, it is in the nominative, so we get:
- moja siostra = my sister
What form is chowa, and what exactly does it mean here?
Chowa is:
- 3rd person singular
- present tense
- from the verb chować
It agrees with moja siostra, so it means:
- she hides
- or, in this context more naturally, she puts away
In Polish, chować can mean both to hide and to put away/store away, depending on context.
With do pudełka (into the box), the meaning is clearly puts away into a box.
Why is dwanaście flamastrów used, and why is flamastrów not flamastry?
