abc - | 4 2 Dec 2007 / #16thank you for replying. can i say jestem Angielski or i must say je jestem angielski
JustysiaS 13 | 2,238 2 Dec 2007 / #17jestem Angielskiyou can't say that sorry! you either say Jestem Anglikem or Jestem z Anglii
Michal - | 1,865 2 Dec 2007 / #18You could say 'ja jestem angielskim panem', I suppose or 'ja to angol. I am from England can in fact be translated many ways including 'ja jestem z Albionu', which means pretty much the same thing.
osiol 55 | 3,921 2 Dec 2007 / #19What about past and future?There's got to be more life in theis thread yet.How exactly do you say 'there was...'
Michal - | 1,865 2 Dec 2007 / #20Był, była, było, były and byli all depending on gender and case. Kiedyś tu był dom-there was once a house here and on it goes. You could start a sentence like 'wtedy był....' meaning 'at that time...'
Michal - | 1,865 2 Dec 2007 / #23Just use kiedyś dawno. I have already shown you some examples depending on the context of what you want to say of course. Where does this word bakłażan keep coming into the equassion for?
osiol 55 | 3,921 2 Dec 2007 / #24Where does this word bakłażan keep coming into the equassion for?Wherefore?I like it. Almost as much as I like its English equivalent.That is almost as much as I like the vegetable itself.I also think it makes quite a neutral word to use in examples.polishgirltxThanks.Some aubergine for you!
JustysiaS 13 | 2,238 2 Dec 2007 / #25Just use kiedyś dawno. I have already shown you some examples depending on the context of what you want to say of coursedo what he said, or he will hit you with his walking stick
osiol 55 | 3,921 2 Dec 2007 / #26He'll have to get past the barrage of aubergines first.Once more for Michal:BAK£A-AN
Mufasa 19 | 357 2 Dec 2007 / #27I like it. Almost as much as I like its English equivalent.That is almost as much as I like the vegetable itself.Goes very nice with melted CHEESE!
osiol 55 | 3,921 2 Dec 2007 / #28Yes, but this is a language-related thread, so is this correct?Będzie bakłażany i ser?
Mufasa 19 | 357 2 Dec 2007 / #29so is this correct?Będzie bakłażany i ser?Not sure, I would say so, but lets ask Dariusz, or one of our other language experts?Btw, I thought you were fluent in Polish?
JustysiaS 13 | 2,238 2 Dec 2007 / #30Będzie bakłażany i ser?did you want to say 'there will be aubergines and cheese'? in that case i'd say 'będą bakłażany i ser'
