Is this some kind of Polish proverb or saying ?

"on jest taki kochany, martwi się czy nic mi się nie stanie pod tymi wiaduktami etc"

No. it isn't a proverb

he's so caring, he is concerned that sth might happen to me under these viaducts

Merged: KOCHANA or KOCHANY or KOCHANIE?

hi all!!

i went to krakow 7 months ago and met this really cool polish guy. its his birthday soon and i want to send him a nice card. i asked a friend how i could say 'dear/beloved' but in a funny kind of way, to make it sound a bit old fashioned. i think she told me i could use KOCHANA but maybe it was KOCHANY or KOCHANIE -- she tried to explain the different endings to me but they really confuse me :-))) so if a girl wants to use this word to a guy, is KOCHANA correct? cenkuye in advance :-D

xx anna

For a guy you have to use Kochany (Kochana is for a woman) Kochanie means the same as "sweety" so it can be used for a female and male, but i think is more used for female (also for your child or i.e. sister)

cenkuye bardzo zetta!! i was a bit worried cos i realized i posted in the wrong forum...

also could you or someone else perhaps translate: dojezdzamy do yorkia. wizyta cool, jestem dumna z Ciebie jak sie zachowalas, kocham Cie.

its a text message i got from a friend who seems to think i can speak polish...

ps i have now moved this message to the translation forum, soz for confusion, am new to this wonderful website!!

When referring to a guy in English you use 'He' or 'him' and for a girl you use 'she' or 'her'.

When talking of their belongings, it is 'his' for a guy, and 'hers' for a girl.

Merged: Kochanie/Kochana addressing a group of friends???

Is it possible to address a group of friends as "Kochanie" or "Kochana"?

A polish friend of mine said that he can address a group of mixed gender friends this way? He said it is a bit like saying "My dear friends".

Is this true? Or is it mixed up?
