Saying the YEARS in Polish WORDS

Hi, Can somebody help me please? I'm learning Polish numbers but can't figure out how to say the years.

I happened to come across this somewhere:

'ueosziłem się w roku trztsta dziewięćset czterdziestym piątym' and could figure out that it said 'I was born in the year 1945' but.....HELP! This is the only year I can SAY in Polish. All translators put the year in numbers, which is the SAME in any language.

How to I WRITE the other years please, there seems to be a strange ending on the 45 here.

June

What? ^^


Hmm, let's give it a try (I'm not fluent (yet)):

Urodziłem (if you're a guy) / Urodziłam (if you're a girl) się w tysiąc dziewięćset czterdziesiątym piątym roku.

I'm not sure, but I think the declination applies 'only' for the -45 part, not the 19-.

Thanks but I already know how to say the forty five bit for 1945, because I happened across it, but how would you write 1953 in Polish words?

I believe you have to put the year of an historical event (years of births come under this heading) into the locative case but I can't find a table/list of the locative number endings. The year 1953 is important to me so can anybod help to say 'It happened in 1953' (as an historical event) in Polish

please? Ive only been learning Polish for 4 months & I'm finding the number system very complicated indeed. June

What am I saying? The years of historical events would be in the Genitive but birth years in the Locative.
Sorry I got very mixed up there. I'm surprised Polish children ever learn to speak, never mind master the Polish number system. June

Hmm, as you can tell, I don't master the Polish language yet, so I'm not sure about that difference.
For the year 1953, I'd say: w tysiąc dziewięćset pięćdziesiątym trzecim roku.
Not sure this is what you asked for tho.


And that's just a part of the language ^^

Fifth season in Poland?

I heard a lovely Polish word the other day for a 'fifth season' - between winter and spring I think. But I didn't write it down or commit it to memory. Can anyone tell me what it is? Thanks.

Early Spring

In direct translation: prespring.

Yes, in direct translation:-)

Polish word for fifth season

I heard a Polish word recently to describe a 'fifth season' - the time between Winter and Spring I think. But I didn't commit the word to memory. Can anyone help?

Dziękuję Ci

Thanks @johnny reb - How do you pronounce it (phonetically)? Google Translate says it's "shed-why-oz-nee". Is that about right?

Click on the loudspeaker on Google Translate to listen to how it sounds. The 'P' at the beginning is sounded, but if you aren't used to hearing Polish, it's easy to miss it. The 'why' bit is wrong. Polish 'w' is pronounced as 'v'.
