Questions & Answers about Jej partnerka woli inny kanał, bo tam leci lepsza komedia.
What does jej mean here?
Jej means her.
It is the genitive/dative possessive form of ona (she), and in this sentence it works like an English possessive:
- jej partnerka = her partner
So the sentence is talking about a woman’s female partner.
Why is it partnerka and not partner?
Partnerka is the feminine form of partner.
- partner = male partner / partner (masculine noun)
- partnerka = female partner (feminine noun)
So jej partnerka tells you that the partner is female.
Grammatically, this also affects other words in the sentence, because adjectives and some verb forms agree with feminine nouns in certain contexts.
What does woli mean exactly?
Woli means prefers.
It is the 3rd person singular form of the verb woleć:
- ja wolę = I prefer
- ty wolisz = you prefer
- on/ona woli = he/she prefers
So:
- Jej partnerka woli inny kanał = Her partner prefers a different channel
This is stronger and more specific than just chce (wants).
