Small tip: The 'masculine personal' doesn't only include groups of men (twoi chłopacy [your boys], twoi synowie [your sons], etc.), but it also includes groups of both men and women, all grouped together (twoi pracownicy [your workers], twoi ludzie [your people], etc.). In short, for it to be 'masculine personal', at least 1 man must exist within the group. Only, if the groups are all women, then it can be 'non-masculine personal' (twoje pracownice [your workers {female}], twoje siostry [your sisters], etc..)
That is the same rule that exists in the Romance languages with regard to personal pronouns. As long as there is at least one male or masculine noun, the default gender in the plural is always masculine, so even in a group of 99 women and one man, that group will always be referred to in the masculine plural!
Masculine nouns that end with "a" never were a problem for me, because every single masculine noun, that ends with "a" has the meaning of a masculine person. And so it is no problem to remember that for example the word "mężczyzna", which means "Man" is masculine.
Ugh I’m so confused. Learning to describe objects, specifically Color/object. The egg is blue. The eggs are blue. How to know which word endings describe more than one object of one color??

Kocham Cię, ale mogę mówić tylko po polsku. Nie mogę go napisać. I sprawy są straszne kary. (Cases).
Jamie nie rozumiem drugiej części komentarza, jakie kary?
In English, sex and gender (male/female) are synonymous.
do you have gender chart ? if you have so please send me in my email
Pomidora is another exception I was finding annoying to remember that it is masculine
the basic nominative form is "pomidor", so it is regular :)
Hello,
Is Polish easy?. If you say too many " it is easy" then...... it is Not So easy .. 😂😂😂.
Oh no, the woke non sense about gender has reached Poland.
Dziękuję!
