Questions & Answers about Doświadczeni ludzie nie robią tego błędu.
Why is it doświadczeni and not doświadczone?
Because ludzie (people) is a masculine personal noun. In the Polish plural, adjectives describing mixed groups or groups containing at least one man take this special masculine personal form. If it were a group of only women, it would be doświadczone kobiety.
What is the singular form of the noun ludzie?
The singular is człowiek (person or human). This is one of the most common irregular plurals you will encounter in Polish, where the plural word is completely different from the singular form.
Why is it tego błędu instead of ten błąd?
This is the genitive of negation in action. The verb robić (to do or make) normally takes a direct object in the accusative case (robią ten błąd). But whenever you negate a verb with nie, its direct object must switch to the genitive case (nie robią tego błędu).
How would I change this sentence to say 'More and more experienced people' using the grammar from our current lesson?
You would say Coraz bardziej doświadczeni ludzie. Since doświadczony (experienced) forms its comparative with bardziej (more), you simply add coraz in front of it to express that progressive, growing change over time.
