@kaia@brotka.st Yeah, fair point. I wouldn't want my kid to end up in a chocolate river in the factory run by some maniac obsessed with chocolate and torturing kids :02laugh:

@puniko@mk.absturztau.be Wow! Impressive collection!

But do you order it from Japan directly or is it possible to buy it somewhere in EU?

@to3k@infosec.exchange Third option please :FernHappy2:

@kaia@brotka.st Yeah, OpenRA is amazing!

@darth@silversword.online It's the matter of a different case in this word.

"Kobieta" is just a regular nominative (who? what?). "Kobietą" is instrumental case form (with whom? with what?). That is a more complex answer.

I imagine however that you wish to know why it is rather "jestem kobietą" than "jestem kobieta". In this second case, if you say to a typical Polish person "jestem kobieta" it would be understood like... you were saying that your name is "kobieta" and not to indicate that you are a woman (=your gender is woman).

Same would be with professions:
"Jestem lekarzem" (I am a doctor, my profession is doctor) instead of "Jestem lekarz" (I am doctor, probably name?)

@darth@silversword.online It will come in time.

And yes, cases in Polish language are one of the hardest thing that just requires more practice (those are also present in, for example Russian as well, but in Russian it is more straightforward).

In absolutely worst case scenario you can take an approach of most of foreigners, which is to not care about cases at all 😅

You will be perfectly understood by Polish people, it will just not be entirely proper.

Still I sent you an article that explains this situation quite well.

@dick@annihilation.social @nerthos@shitposter.world @solidsanek@outerheaven.club And they will use very rare kanji for that just to make it even harder for tourists who actually speak some Japanese :02laugh:

@solidsanek@outerheaven.club I believe with most prices highly inflated in restaurants and cafés, regular inhabitant should really get some discount cards only for living in a certain town. Or any tax reliefs, I dunno... :fernshake:

@solidsanek@outerheaven.club I was always wondering how are regular people living in towns that are popular tourist destinations 🤔

@kaia@brotka.st Oh my gosh, too many otome isekai anime 😄

Now I imagine that there would be some popular girl that they both would fight for 😄
