Language / Pronunciation of vowels at the end of a word [28]

Every letter in every word always sounds the same. That's the difference compared to english. Of course you have to remember that rz sz and ch are pronounced different than these letters apart.

Language / which 'if' (jeśli, gdyż or gdyby) use in conversation? [13]

Use word "jak" if you want to speak like normal people on the streets. Not "Jeśli nie będzie padać to pójdziemy na spacer", but "Jak nie będzie padać to pójdziemy na spacer". (If it doesn't rain, we will go for a walk). And not "gdyby", but "jakby". I don't even know if that's correct, but I speak like that :)

Language / Why in the world there are three ways to write simple U ?!?! [54]

microwac - You're wrong. Only rz and ż, ch and h, u and ó are the same in pronunciation.

And polish words are easy to pronunce when you learn how each letter of alphabet is pronunced. You just put the pronunciation of letters together, and you get the whole word pronunciation. It's so easy, because each letter is always pronunced the same, in every word. You just have to remember that ch makes h, rz makes ż, and ó is the same as u. And you say that this is stupid? LAME.

Yes. It's mega gayish.

Language / FULL WYPAS, WYPASIONY, ZAJEBISTY? [20]

I'm not sure, but I think that "wypas" is from cows on the field. They eat a lot of grass, so they are good-feeded, big, healthy. So something "wypasione" is good, not cheap, have a lot of features, etc.
