Language / Accusative Case [44]

I think I found another Feminine word that ends in a consonant.
NOC.
My dictionary has a -f after it and also gives the masc (nocy) and the neuter (noce).


Can you think of any English equivalents of nouns(?) made from adjectives?


Yes you did. In my 'ACCUSATIVE.Masc/Fem/Neu' thread.
You have been a great help to me.
Thank you.

Language / Cases, Genders, Nominative, Instrumental...WHY? [40]


Yes. It helps alot. I know understand the overall concept.
I'm still a little unsure of what will constitute the direct object in other sentences but feel practise and experience will soon make this a thing of the past.

I'm going to try and understand the grammar of some English sentences in this respect, as well as continue my Polish studies.

Agreed. Perfect explanation (and examples).

Work / Polish Language Courses at Polish Universities [14]

I'm talking about the Catholic University (twinned with Bufallo Uni, New York State).

Life / What is the easiest way to get to IKEA in Warsaw (from downtown)? [15]

IKEA!!!
Jesus H Christ!
Fightclub had the Ikea 'nesting instinct' summed up perfectly!

I am a primitive animal.
I need raw meat, water (served in a dirty old jam jar) and sex with women who have a frightened fascination of me (known as animal attraction in thoses magazines that endlessly go on about futons, furniture and fckuing).

I do not need flat pack kitchen spice racks, Scandinavian, minimalist picture frames, natural pine toilet seats or innovative design cutlery.

eat like Vikings!
Half cooked beef, gripped with both fists. Tearing away chunks with unbrushed teeth as blood and saliva stain my chin, chest and genitals.
Then I stand up, point at the Ikea hat-stand and grunt primitive noises.

IKEA! You utter wankers!

Life / What is the easiest way to get to IKEA in Warsaw (from downtown)? [15]

Just listen at yourselves!
YOU ARE MEN!
The location of Ikea (in Warsaw or anywhere) and the public transport to get there should be left to women.
Political correctness has emasculated the lot of you.
Now go and collect your kiddies from the creche....it's your turn to prepare dinner.

Life / Polish products for sensitive skin, are they available in Poland? [17]

They have Tesco's in Poland (Britains largest supermarket chain) so I'm certain you'll be able to buy Johnson and Johnson baby products or products for sensitive skin.

Language / Accusative Case [44]

Merged: Adjective/Noun agreement in the accusative?

Insert the correct form of nouns and adjectives.
Oni mają...............[jajko, czekoladowy]
The noun, jajko (egg) is animate. Does this mean the adjective must agree in gender/case?
In Accusative Case can a noun be animate and the same sentences adjective be inanimate. Or must agreement be found for the entire sentence?

Language / Adjective/Noun Order? [20]

I think I need to expose myself to more examples of simple Polish sentences. That way I can learn to intuit when a word order is correct.


No. Some adjectives follow the noun, some nouns follow the adjective BUT it's not due to the specific noun/adjective used but whether the adjective is describing an intrinsic quality of the noun or not.

I just wanted examples to help me better understand the difference.

Krzyszytof went someway to providing me with examples with his 'public library/ public confession' example.

Language / Accusative Case [44]

Thanks Michal.
And because they are neuter I need not change the form to accusative....

Language / Adjective/Noun Order? [20]

Could you recommend some internet sites that would be the type of thing needed?
Sports not really my thing. World news and current affairs tend to interest me.

Are their any sites dedicated to learning Polish to children, or better still, adults that never learned properly and are now trying to learn to read as mature students?

Language / Adjective/Noun Order? [20]

osiol.
????WHAT!????

Language / I want to learn polish from home.... [14]

Pimseurs is a great way to learn specific phrases
"Czy pani jestem Amerikaninem?" etc
But it's total lack of reading/writing/grammar will make anything more than parrot fashion speaking out of the question.
same with BYKI, Rosetta Stone and a mass of other self teaching guides.

They are great additions to a study programme BUT not sufficient alone.

If you really can't finance $30 per week for a SKYPE lesson then try doing a google of "University of Pittsburgh Polish language course"

Telefonika posted the http:// for the Pittsbrgh Uni (above).
It is by far the best resource I have seen.

Language / Pronouns, the meaning of "Wy"? [7]

OBVIOUSLY!
Thanks for the reminder.

UK, Ireland / Looking for Polish groups/clubs in central scotland [2]

In Stirling there is a travellers hostel called Willie wallace Independent Hostel, just round the corner there is an asian owned shop with polish language signs in the window. Most evenings groups of Poles gather to chat and drink a few bottles of the many varieties of Polish beer available to buy in the shop.

This may be a start to helping your fella find some mates.....or, radical idea, he could try and integrate into the society he's living in? English speaking friends don't ALL carry knives...even in Scotland.

Language / Pronouns, the meaning of "Wy"? [7]

Could you type a simple example of each usage?

UK, Ireland / Sad or stupid - a Polish teacher killed whilst urinating on live rail [88]

Urinating in a public place is a crime. His family should have to pay a posthumous fine on behalf of thier dead relative.

Johnny Vaughn often talked about the darwin Awards on the Big Breakfast.
I particularly liked the one when this idiot tried to rob a Texas Gun Store and was shot by over 30 customers!

Language / Nations/Nationalities in Polish? [6]

Just like English.........

Danish, Swedish, Norwegian
English, Irish, Welsh
German, Czech, Slovak.

I know these from experience to the point of instinct. I'm unsure Polish will ever come so naturally but I can try to learn and remember.

Thanks.

Language / Verb forms and conjugation [28]

It is useful but I already know the 'class 1' conjugation (-m, -sz)
I'm more interested in learning the other major verb patterns/forms.

As yet I only need the first 6 (ja, ty, on/ona/ono, my, wy, one/oni)
Trying to learn more, at this point, would be an unnecessary complication.

Maybe, Osiol, you could list some of these 'other classes'?
