Questions & Answers about To jest krzesło.
Does the word To change if I am pointing at a masculine or feminine object instead of a neuter one?
Why is krzesło in the Nominative case here?
The Nominative case is the basic dictionary form of a noun. In Polish, when you use to jest to identify what a person, place, or thing is, the noun that follows stays in this basic Nominative form. You don't need to change its ending.
How do I know the gender of the word krzesło?
You can almost always tell a Polish noun's gender by looking at its last letter. The word krzesło ends in -o, which is the most common ending for neuter nouns.
Why is there no word for "a" before krzesło?
Polish does not have articles like "a", "an", or "the". The single word krzesło translates to "a chair", "the chair", or simply "chair" depending entirely on what makes sense in English.
