Polish "English"
Jesteś Angielką.
"You are an Englishwoman."
As you have noticed, in Polish we use both male and female forms to express nationality.
For Example:
1. Anglik
"an Englishman"
2. Angielka
"an Englishwoman"
In the plural, however, two forms may appear. When you have a group of males, you will use
the masculine plural form.
For Example:
1. Oni są Anglikami.
"They are Englishmen."
If you have a group of only females, you will use the feminine form.
For Example:
1. One są Angielkami.
"They are Englishwomen."
If the group consists of both males and females, you have to apply the masculine form.
For Example:
