Language / First post, not sure how to translate "to" in a sentence, or which case to use following it. [12]

Thank you! I have loads to learn, but I love the language so I will keep learning! Your English is very good, one day I hope my Polish will be as good :)

Thanks Ziutek,
I think I may just never understand the difference between kto and kogo and stuff like that, but maybe it will come with practice.
Thanks anyway, the examples really help, I think I'm just a slow learner :P

Merged: Questions that help with learning which case to use (difference between co, czego, czym etc.)

Hi, I've been told that when polish children are learning about cases in polish, they know which one to use by working out which question is being answered (for example, co/kto would be answered in nominative and kogo/co = accusative, etc), but I find the problem is that co, czego, czym are all translated as "what" (and kto, kogo, komu, kim are all translated as "who"), so I've been trying to work out what differentiates the different forms of each word..

So far I know a couple, such as the dative questions (komu/czemu) can be translated as "for/to who" and "for what" (in other words, why).

And for instrumental, (z) kim/czym means (with) who/what.
But other than those 2, I get stuck on the other cases, so I wondered if anybody could help?

(So far, I've only really learnt about the accusative, genitive and instrumental cases, and I still have trouble knowing when to use those, so sorry if this is a stupid question- just trying to see the polish language how a polish person would see/learn it)

Okay, thankyou so much, you've been really helpful! :) (and my friend is a girl, that's why i changed it to 'zaprosiłaś')
Dziękuję bardzo :)

Thanks :) Could somebody please translate the whole thing? "Thanks for inviting me to yours. It was nice to (have a chance to) practice polish in conversation, and learn to make Chałka"

So far I have got "Dziękuję, że zaprosiłaś mnie do siebie. Był miły (aby/żeby?) ćwiczyć mowienie po polsku w rozmowie/konwersacji, i uczyć się jak zrobić chałka"

Sorry, I know this is awful but I very rarely try to say anything in polish incase I make a mistake, so I know a lot of words, but not how to use them in a sentence :S

And your english is good, kompstar :)

Thanks guys :)
So "do siebie" means something like "to yours"?
And what case is "siebie" or "swojego domu"? (I was thinking of putting "swój dom" but wasn't sure if locative, genitive or accusative case was needed)

Basically I want to say "Thanks for inviting me to yours. It was great to have a chance to practice polish in conversation (and learn to make Chałka)"

Thanks for the help :)
