GRAMMAR - Nominative and Accusative Feminine Plurals

Where we are talking about things then the noun and adjective endings are the same in both the Nominative and Accusative case.

For female nouns, to get the plural in the Accusative and Nominative cases, we drop the replace the last 'a' with a 'y' or an 'i'

A woman - Kobieta
Women - Kobiety
A road - Droga
Roads - Drogii

The rules that define if 'i' or 'y' are added are complex so to start with it's best just to learn these as separate vocabulary.

Once you have learnt a few words the right ending on words you do not know will actually start to come naturally.

So how would you say:

Where are the women? -
Women like jazz -
Do women like jazz? -
Why do women like jazz? -

Adjectives (clever, new, old, etc) are the same for all genders and they are the same as the neuter form we saw way back at the beginning for singular nouns:

Clever women - Mądre kobiety
Good roads - Dobre drogi

So how would you say:

We have good roads -
In Warsaw there are good roads -
In Lublin there are new roads -
The roads in Krakow are bad -
Why are the roads in Krakow bad? -

If the noun ends with a soft sound we'll replace the 'a' with an 'e'.

A restaurant - Restauracja
Restaurants - Restauracje
Where are the restaurants? - Gdzie są restauracje?

So how would you say:

Where are the good restaurants? -
Where are the new restaurants? -
We have old restaurants -
You have good options -
I like positive situations -

Other descripitions such as 'these', 'your' and 'my' are also the neuter form no matter what gender the noun is.

I like these restaurants - Lubię te restauracja
These roads are new - Te drogi są nowe

So how would you say:

My options are good -
Your roads are old -
These restaurants are good -
