News / Poland's 'oburzeni' (indignant)? [41]

I don't think that this movement will take off in Poland. The young people can leave and go somewhere with better conditions instead of trying to change things or waiting for them to change.

Speak a little Polish, well worth the effort.

At least it is only grammatical errors that you make in Polish, it could be a lot worse, really it could!

If you are doing it for your GCSEs shouldn't you have a teacher?

Getting frustrated won't help I am afraid, take a break and come back to it later.


Yes.

An idea would be to simplify things by declining the nouns only first and practice this until you know it well, forget about declining the adjectives for now.

In the long term you will need a teacher to help you.

You must be tired or something because declining the nouns in plural is simpler than in singular for the instumental case.

the kimi bit is for the adjectives of plural nouns.
For example, Dorota i Magdalena są wysokimi nauczycielkami. The adjectives decline also depending on the gender of the noun and whether they are singlular or plural. Adjectives that end in k or g take imi


I think you are mixing how to decline the adjectives and the nouns.

Which answers did you get wrong?


One są ambitynymi studentkami.

Just above the table you posted there is also a picture with 2 men, Oni są Francuzami, a man and a woman, Oni są Francuzami and a group of women only(no men) One są Francuzkami. They use the extra k only for groups of female nouns only, in this case women.


mężczyzna is a tricky one because it is a feminine noun even though it is the name for a man you must decline it as the same as a female noun. Jestem mężczyzną. Alpinista, on jest alpinistą.

In this one though, Mariusz i Pawel są wysokimi mężczyznami.


You are not stupid, this is Polish grammar and you are only starting to decline nouns as far as I can see, best of luck.

Reading something always helps especially if it is unusual, maybe this link will help! In this case it may just confuse you more! :-)

On our couch in the studio sat Good Morning TVN today three happy women who were once men : Anna Grodzka , Rafalala and Monica McPerscon . We invited them to the program on the occasion of Women's Day to talk about how it feels to be a woman. Do you have to learn to womanhood ? Do you prefer to be friends with men or women?

Language / pisać-pisanie, jeść-jedzenie, what is the rule for jeść to jedzenie? [9]

Thanks, yes they are nouns but I would like to know how to change the verb jeść into a noun jedzenie, what is the rule?

I found another verb also, spaść that that I would like to turn into a noun. Hopefully the rule will be similiar to jeść to jedzenie.

Language / I would really like to learn Polish, but I'm struggling.. [13]


I would suggest some private lessons and then try to communicate a little with your relatives that speak Polish.


This is probably true although very difficult I imagine. I imagine that most people who do the total immersion thing also get lessons and really give the lessons 100% because they are not going to manage successfully otherwise, they have to learn the language, that as soon as they step outside the door they are confronted with what they have learnt is a huge advantage.

I like your music too but without you posting it here I don't think that I would have ever heard of you. Have you tried making a you tube video to help advertise your music? Have you ever done a Polish language version of "The man with the child in his eyes"? I think that it would be very nice.

Language exchange, in what ways can this be done so that both people get a fair chance to learn? Any ideas? Do you speak for 10min each in one language and then switch to the other?

To me it looks like they could do with some extra refuse bins at night. People went to the bins but they were full.

I don't think that the solution to the problem is as easy as not telling people to drink. Some people are under a lot of stress and need to let off steam.
