    Translation

    The emperor often combed the empress's hair.

    Vocabulary

    • cesarz — emperor
    • często — often
    • czesać — to comb (imperfective; past masc.: czesał)
    • cesarzowa — empress (accusative: cesarzową)

    Grammar note

    'Cesarzową' is the accusative of 'cesarzowa' — direct object of 'czesać'. 'Często' is an adverb of frequency. Note the contrast: 'cesarz/cesarzowa' use hard 'c', while 'często/czesał' use the 'cz' cluster.
