Cultural Insight |
Eric: Now it's time for a quick cultural insight. |
Marzena: There are plenty of possessive pronouns in Polish. The form of the pronoun changes with the gender of the noun that follows. So you will use mój, meaning "my" for a masculine noun like długopis, which means "pen", but you would use moja, meaning "my" for feminine nouns, like książka, which means "book." |
