And I didn't understand a word of it.

I've been doing pimsleur lvl 1 for two months now (tomorrow last lesson nr 30) and while it doesn't give you a great vocabulary, more or less 200 words, maybe it teaches some kind of intuition as to what endings should look like. Sounds a bit stupid...

Language / SZCZ and ŚĆ HARD TO EXPLAIN [19]


Really?
So when you say cześć do you actually close your teeth at the end? Or is this a trick for foreigners?

Language / Usage of the word "Na" [17]


Yes, but this is a language thread and languages are best learnt by rubbing it in. It's not "why polish girls are sexier than irish" which seems to be discussed at least once a week in a new thread. Also, I'm new in here, and I think this thread is very interesting, but I would never had the idea myself to search after a post that compares all the na-uses. I will of course eventually read all the thousands of posts that are in here.

with my very best regards

Language / Plural forms 2-4 and =>5 [30]

Thank you Elssha!

but why do the dictionaries give me only palce, and not palców?

Language / Plural forms 2-4 and =>5 [30]


I'm really sorry, i still don't get it.
When would you use palców then, seeing as they're more than 5?
Would they be palcow if not cut off buy still on the hand?

Could somebody please give me 3 simple sentences?

And maybe a link to some grammar page that explains it (I could't find any).

:)

Language / Plural forms 2-4 and =>5 [30]


Thanks I think I got it. The cut off fingers are palce because you don't specify how many, but if you say there are 8 cut off fingers they are palców.

right? like this:
1 palec
2 palce
5 palców
many palce
