to
/to/
Meaning
PronounThe third-person singular neuter personal pronoun used to refer to an inanimate object, abstract entity, or non-human living thing.
How to use
The word 'to' can be a demonstrative pronoun in the neuter gender ('this/that'), but it is also used as an indeclinable copula linking subject and predicate (e.g., 'Pies to zwierzę' — A dog is an animal). Avoid using 'jest' when using 'to' as a copula, as the noun following 'to' remains in the nominative case.
