    Translation

    Three speckled quail hens flew through three speckled tenement houses.

    Vocabulary

    • przefrunąć — to flutter through, to flit through (past pl. non-virile: przefrunęły)
    • pstry — speckled, motley (pl. non-virile: pstre)
    • przepiórzyce — quail hens (pl. of 'przepiórzyca')
    • kamienica — tenement house (pl. kamienice)

    Grammar note

    'Przez trzy pstre kamienice' — accusative after 'przez' (through). 'Przefrunęły' is 3rd person plural past non-virile perfective. Compare with 'przeleciały' — same meaning, slightly different register ('flutter' vs 'fly').
