Questions & Answers about Moje siostry lubią truskawki i pomidory.
Why is the word for my moje here instead of mój or moja?
Because siostry (sisters) is plural. In Polish, plural nouns that do not include groups of men are called non-virile. For these nouns, the plural of mój (my) is always moje.
Are truskawki and pomidory in the Accusative case here because they are being liked?
Yes! They are the direct objects of the verb lubią, which requires the Accusative case. The trick here is that for non-virile plural nouns, the Accusative form looks exactly the same as the Nominative (subject) form. So, truskawki and pomidory are both Nominative and Accusative plural.
How do the plural endings work for truskawki and pomidory?
The singular feminine noun truskawka ends in -ka, and those typically change to -ki in the plural. The singular masculine inanimate noun pomidor ends in a consonant, and typically adds a -y to become plural.
Why does the verb lubią end with the nasal vowel -ą?
This is the third-person plural (they) form of the verb lubić (to like). In Polish, when the subject is they (in this case, moje siostry), the verb very often ends in -ą.
