The user query appears to be asking about the term “sonet” and its structure (likely in Polish: “sonet ile ma wersów” meaning “how many lines/verses does a sonnet have”). Based on standard literary definitions: Answer
- A sonnet is a fourteen-line poem. It is traditionally composed of 14 lines formatted into two main historical variants:
- Italian/Petrarchan sonnet: two quatrains (4 lines each) followed by two tercets (3 lines each), typically with a rhyme scheme around abbaabbacdecde or some close variation.
- English/Shakespearean sonnet: three quatrains (4 lines each) and a final couplet (2 lines), typically with a rhyme scheme of abab cdcd efef gg.
- In both variants, the fourteen lines are usually organized into distinct stanzas (strofy/zwrotki) that guide the progression: setup in the opening part, development or argument, and a concluding or turn (volta) that provides closure or reflection.
If you need, I can provide:
- Examples of Italian and English sonnet structures with specific line counts and rhyme patterns.
- A brief comparison table of the two main forms.
- Short practice prompts to identify the form of a given sonnet.
