Thanks for the lesson. Mind blown by the explanation at the end with the summers. I never realised it in my native tongue, Russian, either. Thanks again!

In an archaic/poetic way we also use "springs": Miał już 20 wiosen. :)

Bardzo dziękuję dla pani.

Pani Doroto, czy Pani mogłaby wytłumaczyć znaczenie wyrażenia "z perspektywy czasu"? Z góry dziękuję!

[@PolishwithDorota]

To znaczy: po jakimś czasie coś zrozumiałem. Wcześniej tego nie rozumiałem, nie zdawałem sobie z czegoś sprawy, ale minął jakiś czas i teraz to rozumiem albo teraz mam inne zdanie na ten temat.
Np. Myślałem, że podjąłem dobrą decyzję, ale z perspektywy czasu widzę, że byłoby lepiej, gdybym postąpił inaczej.

I know it does not change much in the end, but doesn't it make more sense to say that after 2-4, you have the nominative plural (mianownik liczby mnogiej) instead of the accusative plural (biernik liczby mnogiej)? 1, 2, 3 and 4 are standard numerals and this is how I understand it. Biernik here would not make much sense...

[@richardvalvona1159]

It's to do with the archaic dual number in the singular, dual, plural system. I don't understand it much but numbers are genitive plural to indicate 5 of cars, 6 of women. These rules only apply for numbers in the nominative / accusative cases. For the other cases (certainly is the case in Russian anyway), I believe they take the same case in plural form to match the case of the number while for 1, it's the matching case in the singular.

[@rafalkaminski6389]

Depends if IT is a subject (then mianownik) or an object (then biernik) in a given sentence. 😅

Skąd Pani wie ile mam lat?

[@rafalkaminski6389]

Intuicja.
