Life / How many Jewish people live in Poland? [145]
First of all please guys dont fight about my post.
There is no need.
I asked the question because i visit Poland frequently.
Mostly krakow.
Which obviously is steeped in history and culture.
It has a Jewish district of course.
And i was just curious and interested.
Tez jestem studentem jezyka polskiego :))
na razie i dziekuje za pomoc

imperfective..........................perfective
ja bede jadl/jadla.....................zjem
What could these verbs translate to in english?
and also, in the sentence (which is why im really asking the question.......)How would "zjem" translate here also. As im not too sure. Well aqctually "zjem kolacje".
(1) Wieczorem zjem kolacje, a potem pojde do kina.
cheers

Language / So why did you give up learning Polish? [105]
i pay £4 quid for 2 hours- not bad eh.
It's not a much sought after language in many parts. Poles are kidding themselves if they think most Brits are gonna pay 30 quid an hour which is what some ask for. Why would Brits want to know Polish outside of having acquaintances? They know English, a far more useful language.

the thing i love about polish is the more you learn the more you just get confused.

and isnt it "troje dzieci"?

Jeden pies/dwa psy/ trzy psy/ cztery psy/ pięć psów ( i assume thats correct)?

i thought that masculine animate nouns would have the same changes.
Obviously not unless i have made a mistake unless most of them are the same with a few exceptions????????????

Language / Distinguishing between boy/boyfriend/......girl/girlfriend in polish [14]
Collins Paperback English Dictionary :
Boyfriend : a male friend with WHOM a person is romantically or sexually involved.
(not just a friend)
Males dont refer to their male friends as boyfriends (obviously the exception is gay males, but you know i was not talking about that)
Or even boy friend
Girls, especially, younger girls may refer to one of their friends as a girl friend ( 2 separate words) Unless of course they are gay also.
So i think im none the wiser with my polish unless i say "my" first :))

Language / Distinguishing between boy/boyfriend/......girl/girlfriend in polish [14]
In English we have boyfriend and girlfriend which would of course mean you are in a relationship with these people.
If they were not your b/f or g/f then it would just be friend.
But in Polish it is the same word for both, i think : dziewczyna/chlopak.
Girlfriend/girl and boyfriend/boy
Isnt this awkward?
cheers

your car? my car? his car? our car?

Essell:
¨
a =
the =
The structure of the Polish language is different.
There are no translations for a, an and the. There is no difference in Polish between a car and the car. You must learn a new way of thinking.
Eg. samochód means (1) car, (2) the car, (3) a car.
