Questions & Answers about Oni zawsze są razem.
Why do we use oni instead of one here?
Oni means 'they' for any group that includes at least one male person. If the group consisted only of women, children, animals, or objects, you would use one instead.
Is są the plural form of jest?
Yes! Są means 'are' and it is the plural form of the verb być (to be). Just like you use jest for a single person or thing, you use są for groups (oni and one).
Is the word order strict? Could I say Oni są zawsze razem?
Yes, you can absolutely say Oni są zawsze razem. Polish word order is quite flexible. However, placing adverbs of time like zawsze (always) right before the verb is a very common and natural-sounding habit in Polish.
Does razem need to change its ending to match the plural oni?
No! Razem means 'together' and it is an adverb. Adverbs never change their forms in Polish, so it will always stay exactly like this, no matter who you are talking about.
