Translation
A woodpecker hacked at the trunk.
Vocabulary
- dzięcioł — woodpecker
- pień — tree trunk, stump
- ciąć — to cut, to hack (past masc.: ciął)
Grammar note
'Pień' is the accusative direct object of 'ciąć'. 'Ciął' is the masculine singular past perfective — the nasal 'ą' in the stem becomes 'ią' in the infinitive but simplifies to 'ą' in the past.
