Jagna - | 26 10 Jun 2007 / #127some people pronounce it same like "czy" word...if that could help, it sound funny though :)
BubbaWoo 33 | 3,506 10 Jun 2007 / #128i just say chi as in tai chi and people tend to understand if i also hold up 3 fingers at the same time... some times if i am feeling confident i add a t sound at the front... and hold up 3 fingers... it always seems to work... especially if i am ordering beer and have two friends next to me...hope this helps
TheKruk 3 | 308 10 Jun 2007 / #129I have been trying for 3(trzy) years people understand but always laugh when I say that and czesc! you know "hello" I don't know if I spelt it right. Its maddening because to me I am saying it right.
AngielskiOrzel 29 Jun 2007 / #130WojciechWojtek i would use as a pet name to a close friend or child, although my family pronounce the name voj-chek, i have also heard both???? good point dude
Davey 13 | 388 30 Jun 2007 / #131Merged: Pronounce SięI pretty much get the point/meaning of się but I am still somewhat confused. I know it's used with some verbs, I am wondering does it just modify the verb or change the meaning totally?(ex ludzic, ludzic sie)Also besides using it with verbs, where else would it be appropriate?thanks=)
Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,149 30 Jun 2007 / #132(ex ludzic, ludzic sie)In this case without się It doesn't make much sense.
Grzegorz_ 51 | 6,149 30 Jun 2007 / #134It's a bit like myself/yourself etc. in English, but somehow more often used in Polish.
MADNAI - | 7 30 Jun 2007 / #135"się" in polish language kept a rule like "onself"myself (ja się) pomyliłe/m sięyouself (ty się) pomyliłe/ś sięhimself (on się) pomylił sięherself (ona się) pomylił/a sięitself (ono się) pomylił/o sięourselves (my się) pomylili/śmy sięYourselves (wy się) pomylili/ście sięthemselves (oni się) pomylili się............. (one się) pomyli(ły) sięsimple form always "SIĘ"też mialem z tym problem kiedyś (i was problem with that in past)
Davey 13 | 388 30 Jun 2007 / #137It is hard to translate się into "oneself" literally because it doesnt always portray the true meaning.
Laurel 1 | 18 6 Jul 2007 / #138WojciechI've always just pronounced it Voy - check, bit wrong I suppose lol.
Michal - | 1,865 9 Jul 2007 / #139It comes from the reflexive pronoun siebie, which comes from the Russian siebja. Ja mowie do siebie-I am talking to myself for example. Sometimes though, verbs in Polish must be reflexive even though they are not in English. For example, ja zastanawiam sie, I am wondering...
german_siema 17 Jul 2007 / #140Merged: some help with pronounce c z cz dz sz....i want to learn polish and so i started listening to polish songs...so i read the lyrics, but for me as just someone who learned all the things from speaking them, its difficult to find out how to pronounce those letters( c, cz, dz, z, s, sz, a, e). the e and the a with this thing under them...:) i would be very happy if someone could help with this problem and tell me how to say it...thank you
Wyspianska 17 Jul 2007 / #141If u have got skype i can tell u how it sounds. Haha, i already ask u about it.
Wyspianska 17 Jul 2007 / #143I dont know how:DI can record it for u and send via email if u want. But right now im not at home. I think i should be back this week, if not, around 10 August. If u wont find any help since that day, just write me ;)
Zgubiony 15 | 1,553 17 Jul 2007 / #144Maybe this will help: members.fortunecity.com/john_deere/Polish2.html
german_siema 17 Jul 2007 / #145thank you that looks like something that helps:)you are so great thankssssss alot:)
Zgubiony 15 | 1,553 17 Jul 2007 / #146No problem. You'll find a lot of tips here in this Grammar & Pronunciation area. Enjoy!!
Michal - | 1,865 17 Jul 2007 / #147I would have thought that a local library would be able to lend you a book of the sounds and basics of Polish. There is a free download service to I think that it is called byte.com or something similar. Type in basic free Polish Language courses on line and it is bound to come up. Learning songs seems to be too difficult a way of learning a language from scratch, especially if you do not know even the basics.
german_siema 17 Jul 2007 / #148i also learned turkish by talkin to my friends and listening to songs:) and it works pretty well. but you're right it shouldn't be the only thing you do to learn a language and so i read a lot and talk with my friends.so don't worry:D
Michal - | 1,865 17 Jul 2007 / #149German, Polish and Turkish are phonetic languages, to an extent, and I would have thought that the printed page would be of help. How did you get on with Turkish? The words seem so easy in their dictionary form but the grammar of verbs is not so simple adding bits in the middle, rather like German.
Wyspianska 17 Jul 2007 / #150Im teaching polish over skype;)I have even some praepared exercises and so on:DHaha, im not joking!And all is free ^^
