Language / Some example sentences using each of the cases in Polish [33]

Yes, but why is it for example, ja mam psa but ja mam psy and not ja mam psow? Psy is a living thing too. You do not answer my point at all.

Declension of some Polish nouns:
In polish language there are 7 declensions:

Mianownik (kto? co?) pies (singular), psy (plural), kolega (sing), koledzy(plu)

Dopełniacz (kogo? czego?) psa " psow " kolegi " kolegow "

Celownik (komu? czemu?) psu psom koledze " kolegom "

Biernik (kogo? co?) psa psy kolege kolegow

Narzędnik (kim? czym?) psem psami kolega kolegami

Miejscownik (o kim? o czym?) psie psach koledze kolegach

Wołacz! piesku! pieski! kolego! koledzy!

No, my question was why is it mam psa but mam psy when it is mam kolege but mam kolegow

and your answer why:
Biernik (kogo? co?) psa psy kolege kolegow
kogo?co? = whom/what can I see/I have?

Language / Expressing years in Polish [20]

Yes, as an example, if I was to say that I was born in 1955, I would write in Polish, 'urodzilem sie, w tysianc dziewiecset piecdziesatym piatym roku'.

In 2001 I have not a clue, but I suppose something like w dwa tysiace pierwszym roku or something similar.

born in 1955= in Polish = w tysiac dziewiecset piedziesiatym piatym roku
in 2001 = in Polish= w dwutysiecznym pierwszym roku

How are years said in words?

1997 - nineteen ninety seven
in Polish, the year : rok tysiac dziewiecset dziewiedziesiat siedem
2001 - two thosand and one / twenty-o-one
in Polish: rok dwa tysiace jeden

in Polish, please.

I suppose:

it happened in 1984
... until 2012
in Polish: wydarzylo sie na przelomie lat tysiac dziewiecset osiemdziesiat cztery i dwa tysiace dwanascie

these use a different case?

In words, please, someone.

Language / Przedstawiam się [24]

You need to learn when to use :
we or w (Polish) = in (English)

eg. countries:
Mieszkam we Wloszech = I live in Italy
Mieszkam w Niemczech = I live in Germany

cities:
Mieszkam we Wroclawiu = I live in Wroclaw
Mieszkam w Poznaniu = I live in Poznan

Language / wysyłać, is this the right word? [16]

'czy ja mam wyslac ci te ksiazke...' to me, at least, sounds more natural.

don't use "ja" because verb "mam" already indicates who.

Also, when addressing a person always use capital letter not "ci" but "Ci"
