Leży Jerzy obok wieży i nie wierzy, że na wieży jeszcze jeden leży Jerzy.
Listen
Translation
Jerzy is lying next to the tower and doesn't believe that yet another Jerzy is lying on the tower.
Vocabulary
- leżeć — to lie, to be lying (3rd sg. present: leży)
- obok — next to, beside (+ genitive)
- wieża — tower (genitive: wieży)
- jeszcze jeden — yet another, one more
Grammar note
'Obok wieży' — 'obok' takes the genitive, so 'wieży' here is genitive, not locative (same form for this noun). 'Na wieży' in the subordinate clause is locative. Same word, two different cases.
