Listen
Translation
Turn a stone into flint, turn flint into a stone.
Vocabulary
- zamienić — to turn into, to transform (imperative: zamień)
- kamień — stone (accusative: kamień)
- krzemień — flint (accusative: krzemień)
- przemienić — to transform, to change (imperative: przemień)
Grammar note
'Zamień X w Y' uses 'w' plus the accusative to show a change ("turn X into Y"). Both 'kamień' and 'krzemień' are inanimate masculine nouns, so their accusative matches the nominative. The second part reverses the change.
