Kowalski+Kowalska=Kowalscy

Hello!
Please someone help!
Pan Nowak+Pani Nowak= Państwo Nowakowie, am I right?
But...
Pan Malicki and Pani Malicka is Państwo..... ????
And
Pan Janik and Pani Janik... Państwo Janikowie?

Panstwo Maliccy

Hi Leonis, good try ! but:
>> Pan Malicki and Pani Malicka is Państwo ..... Maliccy
And
>> Pan Janik and Pani Janik... Państwo Janik

Good luck in learning!

After thinking a while I think could be Janikowie as well as Janik :)
But I am sure about Maliccy :)

What about a name ending in 'zki' like 'Zawadzki'. Or a name derived from non-Slavonic roots like 'Miller' (as in Leszek)?

yes...


Zawadzcy


Millerowie

Thanks a lot for the sudden answers! :-))


Extra thanks, I need it! :-))

Thanks too.

One thing about learning Polish is that there are always surprises.

Pan Kowalski
Pani Kowalska
Państwo Kowalscy

BUT: (here's a wrinkle I just remembered!)

Pan Nowak
Pani Nowakowa
Panna Nowakówna [unmarried female]
Państwo Nowak [no change because final letter is a consonant]

I recently say an entry for certain foreign, notably various Germanic-sounding names like 'Heller' etc...

Pan Heller, Pani Hellerowa, Panna Hellerówna, Państwo Heller (along with the various declensions as with almost any name, Polish or foreign)

So Państwo Nowakowie is wrong, isn't it?

No, it is not wrong.
Panstwo Nowakowie is correct.

Checked my Swan and, as per usual, Darek rule:-))) LOL

Thx a lot:-))
