Language / The word "bet" - correct word usage? [8]

sorry strzyga
is the word ' istnie the sams as the word ' być' for example;

jest tam = is there
but i came across a word ' istnieje' which i translated as there is. so my question is what is the usage of the word ' istnie'

i cant find a reference to the word for 'bet', your word założyć in the doctionary means start./ setup. establish

sorry my grammar is crap still

thanks guys
no i didnt mean in terms of drug use, i just wanted the word for a sniff of gas or some other odour, but your word wąchać is good thanks. you said there was no word for 'wonder' i recall someone mentioned the word 'dziw', does that make any sense. if not no matter you all have been great as usual. my eternal thanks

Language / Czego, Czemu, Co, Kto, Jak, Dlaczego? [64]

in a previous post the word 'co' i am told has several meaning.
as,every,what,which,that.
is it not best to use the words already used foer the same, like
as=jako
what=co
which=które
that= źe( also some others depending on the case used)
every=wszelki

will this not reduce the confusion.

thanks to you all for your input.

Language / Correct usage for 'going' in Polish [25]

yes they are, but as it turns out chodzić is a indetermanative verb, and iść is a detrmanative verb. both refer to 'going', but chodzić can mean 'to come', as in

chcę ty do chodź z mnie( i want you to come with me).
any corrrections welcomed.
and i am still confused with 'co'

yes i did notice the mistake, but wasnt really sure. i noticed that you use the word 'co' this means 'what' not 'every'. or have i missed something.

Language / How to remember Polish words? [23]

hi madelin
im sure i will be corrected, but it is just a cse of repatition, i too am learning polish on my own and your right it is hard. as for the ę, it is pronounced 'en' although when my polish cousin speaks it, it sounds more like 'enw'. the 'y' is pronounced 'ee'.

any corrections greatly recieved.
you can achieve a lot by going over some of the other relevant posts here.

Language / Word clarification: niespodzianka, dziwić / zdziwiłem. [17]

i found an enrty in a book that says poproszę means to beg, plead, ask, which comes from the root 'prosić' which i have to say has thrown me somewhat. when my cousin said the word, i was sure it was 'please', but that never fit the context which you now confirm. and i am kicking myself.

thanks folks

I have had a revelation with my grammar, I kept forgetting that words like
'czytałem' mean I read, I am reading, I was reading.
'czytam ' means I read.
upto now when I right these things I had a tendancy to right ' ja był czytanie'. so am I correct in saying that with all the past tense words ending in ...łem I am, I was.

and with the będę czytać means, I wil read, I am going to read, I will be reading.

what happened I attempted to translate something, and I know from my previous posts the problems I am having, but its coming to me slowly, anyway, I gave the document to a polish person to read and it came back that she could understand 40% and she said I was using too many small words. these I think she is refereeing to był, było, była.

so my understanding so far is był ect means it was, he was, they were.

there was a boy
smiling was good for me
there were a lot of people
we were sat alone
she was my only friend
so any further push on this issue would be grateful, and please understand I am getting there.

thanks
