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' uses 'nie ma' plus the genitive to show that someone is absent. In 'ani mnie, ani Ani', both 'mnie' and 'Ani' are genitive after 'nie ma'. The wordplay is that 'ani' (neither) sounds like 'Ani', the name.
