UK, Ireland / Cold and ignorant Polish girls living in the UK [128]

Straying from the point a bit! It is perfectly possible that the cold Polish girls are miserable in coldpole's pub because they are homesick and in a big city. Maybe they would look bored in Arise's nice-but-sleepy town? It is more likely that our over-friendly pub landlord coldpole is the one giving them the chills...

Language / Which case for adjectives? [47]

The possessive pronoun should match the gender of the noun.
mój brat (male, ends in a consonant)
moja mama (female, ends in an a)
moje okno (ends in a vowel or in -um, eg centrum)

depending on the case on the noun, the endings will change e.g. (Masz brata? you have a brother) which may confuse you as to which gender a noun is. But it's not too hard.

Lots of examples here...

I have edited my entry above!
If you are giving your full name you would normally use nazywam się..., or the form below if giving just your first name.
Mam na imię ... (first name)

If somebody is asking about your name or you are giving your name it is used in it's reflexive form.
Jak się nazywasz? (What's your name? / What do you call yourself?)
Nazywam się... (insert name here)
Which basically means I call myself...
