Polish verbs (in English)

EXAMPLE

i think this is write.........

słuchać / posłuchać = to listen / to hear

ja słucham ( i listen, i am listening, i do listen)
ty słuchasz ( you listen, you are listening, you do listen)
on/ona/ono słucha ( he listens, he is listening, he does listen)
my słuchamy ( we listen, we are listening, we do listen)
wy słuchacie (you listen, you are listening, you do listen)
oni/one ( they listen, they are listening, they do listen)

now how about NAZYWAĆ / NAZWAĆ = to name / to call

ja nazywam ( i name joe bloggs , i am naming joe bloggs, i do name joe bloggs)
ty nazywasz ( you call joe bloggs, you are calling joe bloggs, you do call joe bloggs)

NONE OF THAT MAKES SENSE FOR THAT VERB

help please

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...

my name is...

her name is.... - ona ma na imię...

i call her Becky - nazywam ją Becky

...


? are you sure?

ja nazywam
ty nazywasz
ona/ona/ono nazywa
my nazywamy
wy nazywacie
oni/one nazywają

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)

yes so what would

wy nazywacie mean then

we named ........

it still doesnt make sense

i dont want jak ma na imie

NAZYWAC

You (plural) called/named (informal, e.g. to children /friends)
my=us

wy nazywacie = you (plural) name/call

we named = (my) nazwaliśmy/nazwałyśmy


So I gave you the whole present tense inflection. What's you problem?

In french you have reflexive verbs (se laver - to wash oneself) and non reflexive verbs (laver - to wash). The french verbs use "me, te, se, etc" in the conjugation.

Polish uses reflexive verbs a lot (nazywać się - to name oneself/to call oneself) and non-reflexive verbs (nazywać - to name something not being oneself). In french nazywam się Johnny = je m'appel Johnny, not Je suis Johnny. Polishe uses "się" in all persons of the conjugation.

It is likely that Polish uses reflexive verbs in a similar manner to french.
Hope this helps to clarify (with apologies for my poor french, it's a long time since I've used my french)

Polish verbs are actually quite logical (at least I find them so), but complicated.
Try looking them up in this grammar book here:
polish.slavic.pitt.edu/grammar.pdf
Verbs are covered in detail and ther are a lot of examples of the conjugation.
