truskawek

In a sentence

• Nie mogę uwierzyć, ile truskawek zjadłem na pikniku.

  We bought a basket of strawberries at the market.

  'Truskawek' is in the genitive plural form to pair with 'koszyk' (basket), as in Polish, quantities and containers often use the genitive case for the contained items.
