Siedzi Jerzy na wieży i nie wierzy, że na wieży jeszcze jeden Jerzy siedzi.
Listen
Translation
Jerzy is sitting on the tower and doesn't believe that yet another Jerzy is sitting on the tower.
Vocabulary
- siedzieć — to sit (3rd sg. present: siedzi)
- wieża — tower (locative: wieży)
- wierzyć — to believe (3rd sg. present: wierzy)
- jeszcze jeden — yet another, one more
Grammar note
'Na wieży' takes the locative after 'na'. The second clause repeats the first with reversed word order: verb-final 'Jerzy siedzi' instead of verb-first 'siedzi Jerzy'. Both are correct in Polish.
