Language / Usage rules of ł in the Polish language [30]

i understand that, i am a bit uncklear as to when i sound the letter within a word, or do i sound the letter in every word. its a bit like some letters in english are not sounded, is that the same with this letter.

as i said, głowa is sounded gwova,
ładny is sounded wadny, are the rules such that this letter is always sounded.

thanks

Language / doing / making - the difference? [20]

so should i forget about the wyrobić.

Language / doing / making - the difference? [20]

i am having the same kind of confusion with był and its participles for 'was' & 'were'.
some come out as byłiśćie and others come out as byłyśmy, what are the rules for this use.
i undertsand the various gender participles, but when this happens it makes me question myself.
i dont think i'm getting this one either, robić seems to be what you are physically doing, zrobić seems to be what you have done as the previous post said, and wrobić seems to mean what you are developing. would that be on the right line

well folks the trip just got harder. i suppose i can still be undertstood if my robic and zrobic are not perfect. the more i speak it the better i'll become, but at least i can comunicate, albeit without gramatical perfection.

i dont even have that with english.

you have been great people. thank you

History / Have Poles blood on their hands? :) [496]

why do you all respond to this kind of talk, history has shown that the poles have had it bad and they have come out of it. havent enough people died before these bitter cretins kreep back under their stones. it only takes one to start this kind of nazi chat. leave them to their own verbal excrement.

i hear what you are saying, so are you saying them, that while mieć conjugates to mam, would it also be correct to say that wiedzieć can also conjugate to wiedzam for example.

Language / iec conjugation [47]

thanks for that steve
because there are so many patterns then, would i be very wrong if i put wieć down instead of mam, but wiję, which is one of the patterns i have for words ending in ' eć '. as you say you cant memorise all of them, so would that be right or acceptable.

Language / iec conjugation [47]

that sound fair enough.

can someone clarify what is being said here, i'm a bit confused. from this excerpt of my material, i understand points 1 &2, but don't seem to grasp point 3. the bit about the consonents

But there are some exceptions:
1) verbs ending eć change the e to an "a" before ł.
2) verbs ending ąć and nąć change the ą to ę except in the masculine singular form.
3) verbs ending c, ść and żś:
imperfective: insert the same consonant as in their present tense before the l or ł
perfective: insert the same consonant as in the present tense of their imperfective counterpart

Language / Pronunciation of "lepiej" [13]

Language / Pronunciation of "lepiej" [13]

i have another bit of confusion, in a conj set are words that end in ieć, which tells me that jeść belongs here, which give endings,

em
esz
e
in another set with words ending in ść, give me endings in
ę
isz
i
what is the difference, and would the word i eat be jeśę or jem
i dont undertsand this one at all.

chaza

nay...lep..psheego,
nay...lep..pshay.

thanks for that, its coming together, i'm working my way through these conjugations. they take a bit of getting used to.

Language / iec conjugation [47]

lets take the word jeść to eat. this part here says,
imperfective: insert the same consonant as in their present tense before the l or ł
perfective: insert the same consonant as in the present tense of their imperfective counterpart
th present tense will be; jem.
so the imperfect will be; jebyłem i was eating.
perfect; jebym; i eat.

have i got it, while i am trying to commit them to memory, i have to understand them before i do,

pojechał = he rides/ he was riding
szukałem = i search/ i am searching
będę iść naprzółem = i will go forward
Święciam = i celebrate/ i am celebrating
