    Translation

    What does a hunter need to shoot a grouse dozing on a tree on a rainy day?

    Vocabulary

    • strzelec — hunter, marksman (dative: strzelcowi)
    • zestrzelić — to shoot down (verbal noun: zestrzelenie)
    • cietrzew — black grouse (genitive: cietrzewia)
    • drzemiący — dozing (present active participle)
    • dżdżysty — rainy, drizzly
    • drzewo — tree (locative: drzewie)

    Grammar note

    'Do zestrzelenia' uses the genitive after 'do' (for the purpose of). 'Cietrzewia drzemiącego' — the participle 'drzemiącego' agrees with 'cietrzewia' in genitive masculine. 'W dżdżysty dzień' is accusative after 'w' for time.
