This with feminine nouns
We know that the endings of 'my' and 'your' change depending on the gender and the case. But we saw clear patterns so that, if we remember the noun and adjective endings, we can think out the 'my' and 'your' endings.
Let's just see a reminder of that for a couple of cases
- Accusative Feminine: I have your new map - Mam twoją nową mapę
- Genetive Feminine: I'm looking for my new map - Szukam mojej nowej mapy
We'll see simlar patterns with 'this'.
- Accusative Feminine Noun: Do you have this new map? - Czy masz tę nową mapę?
- Genetive Feminine Noun: We don't have this new map - Nie mamy tej nowej mapy
- Instrumental Feminine Noun: Do you have a problem with this new map? - Czy masz problem z tą nową mapą?
We can see the ending of 'this' either matches the noun (accusative), the adjective (genetive) or both (instrumental)
We've already seen this pattern with 'moja' and 'twoja' and we are going to see it even more so once you have cracked the endings of adjectives you will know how to end 'moja', 'twoja', ta' and many other similar words.
Let's take a deeper dive into each case.
Accusative 'This'
- Do you have this coffee? - Czy masz tę kawę?
So how would you say:
- I have this music -
- I like this pizza -
Genetive 'This'
- Why don't you like this new coffee? - Dlaczego nie lubisz tej nowej kawy?
So how would you say:
- Why don't you like this new water? -
- Why don't you like this old woman? -
Instrumental 'This'
Feminine Nouns:
- He has a problem with this old woman - On ma problem z tą starą kobietą?
