Language learning No 3

Thanks again to Duolingo for their endless supply of Polish translations.

I promise this is real...

Translate into Polish "Why did you buy that fat penguin?"

You have to assume the following,

1. You will need this phrase on a visit to Poland
2. There is a thriving trade in penguins in Poland
3. Usually people buy slim penguins in Poland
4. Buying a fat penguin is likely to lead to questions being asked

 Following on from my discovery that people learning Polish on Duolingo will need the phrase "When I was cleaning your room  I found a knife" I began to wonder if Poland might be a slightly lawless country.

That view was reinforced when Duolingo asked me to translate into Polish...

"Stay here and don't take anything!"

(Stick with this - it  gets better!)
