    Translation

    Does the good-natured postmaster from Tczew often dance the cha-cha?

    Vocabulary

    • poczciwy — good-natured, decent
    • poczmistrz — postmaster (archaic)
    • Tczew — a town in northern Poland (genitive: Tczewa)
    • często — often
    • tańczyć — to dance (3rd sg. present: tańczy)
    • cza-cza — cha-cha (the dance; accusative: cza-czę)

    Grammar note

    'Z Tczewa' takes the genitive after 'z' (from). 'Tańczy cza-czę': 'cza-czę' is the accusative of 'cza-cza', the direct object of 'tańczyć'. 'Czy' opens a yes-or-no question.
