Translation
This wallpaper here, that wallpaper there.
Vocabulary
- ta — this (feminine demonstrative)
- tapeta — wallpaper
- tu — here
- tamta — that one (feminine, further away)
- tam — there
Grammar note
Two parallel noun phrases with no verb — a predicative ellipsis ('this wallpaper [is] here'). 'Ta' vs 'tamta': Polish has a three-way demonstrative system — 'ten/ta/to' (this), 'tamten/tamta/tamto' (that, further away).
