nyphri22 4 | 5 24 Oct 2012 / #1Hello, I need some help understanding the following words in context. Lubicie, pamiętacie, and mówicie. They bothare present/past tenses. But what are some examples? Am I directing toward a group of people?Lubicie - you like ( plural) Lubiliście- you liked (plural)Pamiętacie- you remember (plural) Pamiętaliście- you remembered ( plural)Mówicie- you say (plural) Mówiliście- you said (plural)
Nightglade 7 | 97 24 Oct 2012 / #2You answered your own question it seems. I don't know a lot of Polish, but the -cie conjugation is used for, as you said, addressing groups of people. At least that's how I'd use it"Lubię czytać" - I like to swim"Czy lubisz czytać?" - Do you like to swim? (one person, direct, informal)"Czy pani lubi czytać?" - Do you like to swim? (one person, female, direct and formal)"Czy lubicie czytać?" - "Do you like to swim? (addressed to a group of people)Maybe someone will correct me though :)

Nightglade 7 | 97 24 Oct 2012 / #5Yeah I originally wrote 'Pływać' and decided to change it to one of the first verbs you learn, but forgot to change the description to read :P
