Thread: What's the Very Difference Here?

Dear kamka,

What's the semantic and pragmatic difference between "a co to takiego?" and "a co to (jest)" in Polish?

Thank you!

I'd say "A co to jest?" is simply less formal. Don't see much of a difference semantically. "A co to takiego" is far less common, though.
