Nie ma w Omanie ani mnie, ani Ani.
Listen
Translation
In Oman there is neither me nor Ania.
Vocabulary
- Oman — Oman (locative: Omanie)
- ani … ani — neither … nor
- mnie — me (genitive of 'ja')
- Ania — Polish female name (genitive: Ani)
Grammar note
'Nie ma w Omanie' — 'nie ma' + genitive expresses absence ('there is no …'). 'Ani mnie, ani Ani' — both 'mnie' and 'Ani' are genitive after 'nie ma'. The pun: 'ani' (conjunction) sounds identical to 'Ani' (the name).
