It's not just numbers. Almost all verbs are like that.

Say "jumping" - skakać

I am jumping - skaczę I was jumping (male) - skakałem I was jumping (female) - skakałam you are jumping (singular) - skaczesz you were jumping (singular male) - skakałeś you were jumping (singular female) - skakałaś you are jumping (plural) - skaczecie you were jumping (plural male) - skakaliście you were jumping (plural female) - skakałyście they are jumping - skaczą they were jumping (male) - skakali they were jumping (female) - skakały

And so on and so on. You have no chance of remembering all of that - you either learn the rules and how to apply them, or you fail at polish language

Doesn't all of these additionally change depending on the casus?

Note: They have seven of them. SEVEN.

[–] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

You mean declension - yeah, there are seven. For every single noun.

[–] 7dev7random7@suppo.fi 3 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, yeah, you're right. It just tempus and stuff. For example:

skaczę. Przeskakuję. Odskakuję. Podskakuję. Przeskoczyłem. Odskoczyłem. Podskoczyłem.

Thank you for the hint, though.
