Leży Jerzy na wieży i nie wierzy, że leży na wieży.
Listen
Translation
Jerzy is lying on a tower and doesn't believe that he is lying on a tower.
Vocabulary
- leżeć — to lie, to be lying (3rd sg. present: leży)
- wieża — tower (locative: wieży)
- wierzyć — to believe (3rd sg. present: wierzy)
Grammar note
'Na wieży' is locative after 'na'. The subordinate clause 'że leży na wieży' has an implicit subject — it refers back to Jerzy himself, making the sentence self-referentially absurd.
