Questions & Answers about Moje córki rysują kolorowymi kredkami.
Why do we use the Instrumental case for kolorowymi kredkami if there is no Polish word for "with" in this sentence?
In Polish, the Instrumental case by itself is used to show the tool or instrument you use to perform an action. So, kolorowymi kredkami naturally translates to "with colorful crayons" without needing a separate preposition for "with".
What are the Instrumental plural endings used in kolorowymi kredkami?
The adjective kolorowy takes the ending -ymi to become kolorowymi. The noun kredka takes the ending -ami to become kredkami. These endings (-ymi or -imi for adjectives, and -ami for nouns) are the standard rules for the Instrumental plural across almost all genders.
Why is the subject Moje córki instead of Moi córki?
Because córka (daughter) is feminine, a group of daughters falls into the "non-masculine-personal" plural category. Therefore, the possessive word "my" must take the non-masculine-personal form moje, rather than the masculine-personal form moi.
The dictionary form of the verb is rysować. How does it become rysują?
