Language / "just" and "either" in Polish [17]

translating things word by word is hardly ever a good idea

True, Poor Edward is making an effort, which is to be commended. Ed, are you taking lessons?

Sorry me again what is honey or sweetheart to say to a man?

Another thing you can use is for honey/sweetheart is "skarbie" (to a man). Literally means "treasure" (I think).

NAZYWAĆ

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...

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)

Language / Numbers in Polish - two different ways? [44]

I like to change it round every so often

Yeah it's about time I changed mine. The current one doesn't fit with my hard-man image.

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...
