    Translation

    In Oman there is neither me nor Ania.

    Vocabulary

    • Oman — Oman (locative: Omanie)
    • ani … ani — neither … nor
    • mnie — me (genitive of 'ja')
    • Ania — Polish female name (genitive: Ani)

    Grammar note

    'Nie ma w Omanie' — 'nie ma' + genitive expresses absence ('there is no …'). 'Ani mnie, ani Ani' — both 'mnie' and 'Ani' are genitive after 'nie ma'. The pun: 'ani' (conjunction) sounds identical to 'Ani' (the name).
