Apply It To Sentence Structure
We will begin by using the above nouns to ask and answer the question: what is it?
What is it? Co to jest?
It is a… To jest…
Practice It!
You might notice that there are no articles in Polish, so you don’t have to worry about adding a, or an within a sentence.
Examples:
Co to jest? To jest dom.
What is it? It is a house.
Co to jest? To jest biurko.
What is it? It is a desk.
Co to jest? To jest okno.
What is it? It is a window.
