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' uses the genitive after 'obok', so 'wieży' here is not locative, though the form is the same. 'Na wieży' in the second clause is locative. One word has two cases.
