Language / Instrumental case "To Jest " and "Jest" Need help with correcting my examples in Polish [17]


It depends on the context.
[Krowa] ma mleko. [Krowa] nie ma mleka.
Jest mleko [w lodówce]? Nie ma mleka [w lodówce].

Try:
- idzi vs idź;
- źdźbło vs ździwienie.

The difference is quite distinctive.

In fact it is a word. What is more, it also has a meaning in Polish.
It's a male first name.

@Chemikiem

źdźbło = blade of grass

Even if 'dzi' and 'dź' are in the middle of the word their pronunciation is and should be different.
The following pairs have different meaning and pronunciation yet very similar structure.

1. gładźcie, budźcie, wadźcie, gnieźdźmy, pogardźmy, zdradźmy
2. gładzicie, budzicie, wadzicie, gnieździmy, pogardzimy, zdradzimy

@Ziutek

Yes, you're right. Both versions contain the d͡ʑ sound. But I gave these examples to illustrate my opposite opinion
to the one given by Chemikiem that "The letter combination 'dzi' is pronounced in the same way as the digraph ' dź '".
If the above sentence was true, there should be no difference in the way you pronounce "zdradźmy" and "zdradzimy".

@gumishu
Yeah, I wasn't aware of the fact that I didn't hear that 'i'.
Thank you, you've just ruin my whole life. :)

Language / "Co ty" - communication and expressions [26]

@dreamer19

Hi
"Co ty" or extended version "No co ty" in a communication you described, is a natural way of:
1. confirming that he is listening
2. expressing that her story is interesting and he is willing to hear more.

It's not rude but it is very informal.
