Language / What is the most annoying thing about non-native Polish speakers? [90]


English "a/an" = Polish "jakiś/jakaś/jakieś" <-- We use these words only if we need to emphasize that the thing we are talking about is not specified.

English "the" = Polish "ten/ta/to" <-- We use these words only if we need to emphasize what is important or to show which one of many choices (things, persons etc.) we are talking about.

Use them only if you have to. In most cases they are not needed.

(I hope I was able to help regardless of my rubbish English grammar ^^)

Language / what is polish word "stodja" or "stoddy" [5]

"Stare/starsze babcie" = old grandmothers

"Stare/starsze panie" = old ladies

Language / Any sweet Polish phrases [255]

Yeah, but "myszka", "kotek" and "misiu" are cute.

"Prosiak", "kurczak" and "żaba" deffinitly aren't... -_-*

"żabcia" and "kurczaczek" are not bad though. :P

Language / Any sweet Polish phrases [255]


Yeah, it is. XD But would you like to be called "prosiaku"? XD

Language / Any sweet Polish phrases [255]

I, personally, would never use the word. It's so hazardous o_0

Language / Dokonany/Niedokonany - Perfective/Imperfective [46]


"I am drinking tea" <-- I would say in Polish "właśnie piję herbatę"

The word właśnie is from "właśnie (teraz)". The "teraz" word is conjectural.

I think there still could be other words we use ^_^.

Language / Dokonany/Niedokonany - Perfective/Imperfective [46]


It can be both "I drink" and "I am drinking". If we feel that the difference between these two meanings is important, than we use extra words to express it.

Language / Polish verbs are conjugated with a separate ending for all six persons: I, you, he, she, it, we, you [29]
