Questions & Answers about To uczucie jest nowe.
What does to mean in To uczucie jest nowe?
Here to means this (sometimes also that, depending on context).
So to uczucie = this feeling.
Polish does not always distinguish this and that as strictly as English does in simple sentences like this. The context usually makes it clear.
Also, to is used here because uczucie is a neuter singular noun.
Why is it uczucie and not some other form like uczucia?
Uczucie is the dictionary form here: nominative singular.
In this sentence, uczucie is the subject, so Polish uses the nominative:
- to uczucie = this feeling
Uczucia is a different form. It can mean:
- feelings (nominative plural), or
- of a feeling / of feelings (genitive singular/plural, depending on context)
So in this sentence, uczucie is the correct form because we are talking about one feeling as the subject.
Why is jest included? Can Polish omit is here?
