    Translation

    The marksman shoots from a rifle.

    Vocabulary

    • strzelec — marksman, shooter
    • strzelać — to shoot
    • strzelba — rifle, shotgun (genitive: strzelby)

    Grammar note

    'Ze strzelby' uses 'ze' (not 'z') before the consonant cluster 'strz' — a phonological rule to ease pronunciation. The genitive expresses the instrument/source.
