Translation
A flea pushes a flea, and that flea was angry that a flea pushes it.
Vocabulary
- pchła — flea (nominative)
- pchłę — flea (accusative)
- pchać — to push (3rd sg. present: pcha)
- zły / zła — angry, bad (feminine: zła)
- ją — her, it (accusative pronoun)
Grammar note
'Ta pchła była zła': 'ta' means 'that flea'. 'Że pchła ją pcha' is a clause introduced by 'że' (that). 'Ją' is the accusative pronoun that replaces 'pchłę', the flea being pushed.
