Grammar in focus · boli mnie / bolą mnie

To say something hurts, Polish uses 'boli mnie' + a singular body part: « Boli mnie głowa » (My head hurts). For plural body parts use 'bolą mnie': « Bolą mnie nogi » (My legs hurt). Literally it means 'it/they hurt me'. 'mnie' = me; for someone else use 'go' (him), 'ją' (her): « Boli go ząb ».
