Let’s look at some more examples.

Listen and repeat or speak along with the native speakers.

Czy jest sól?

Czy jest mleko?

Czy jest woda?

Czy są jajka?

Gdzie jest cukier?

Did you notice how I replaced Czy with Gdzie?

Gdzie jest cukier?

"Where is the sugar?"

With this question, you are presuming that the shop has sugar.

First is Gdzie, "where." Gdzie. Gdzie.

Next is jest, “is.” Jest.

Jest is from the verb być, meaning “to be.”

After this is cukier, "sugar." Cukier. Cukier.

All together, Gdzie jest cukier? This literally means “Where is sugar,” but translates as "Where is the sugar?"

Gdzie jest cukier?

This sentence pattern is

Gdzie jest ITEM?

“Where is” ITEM?

You should be aware of this pattern, but you won’t need it for this lesson.
