Language / Use of swoj [23]

Hello.

I have never quite understood when to use swoj. I know it means 'one's own', but I can't see the difference between twoj so tend to use this all the time.

Could someone explain the difference and also give as many sentences as possible when swoj would be used.

Thanks, Kieron.

and any other ways it can be used.

Daj mi swój/twój długopis,
Piszę moim/swoim długopisem;
Dam Ci mój/swój długopis

Thanks. With these though, if I was to hear dam ci swój długopis I wouldn't know if you mean't mine or yours? Obviously I would however if you said dam ci twoj/moj.

przypierać przyprzeć



Hi,

Please can someone kindly explain what this noun means?

i've found that 'przypierać kogoś do muru' means 'push/drive somebody to the wall'

Thanks.

I've been watching Rojst on Netflix & the geezer from the milicja keeps saying mówcie rather than mów when he's speaking to one person.

What's that about? Is there any reason for doing so?

he's also just now said podejdźcie tam to a guy on his own

Thanks.

Dzień Dobry.

Please could someone kindly translate these:-

zaczytać
doczytać
wyczytać
naczytać
wczytać
rozczytać
odczytać
przeczytać
poczytać

My słownik isn't that helpful in distinguishing all.

Dziękuje bardzo.

Anything else worth watching.

Thank you!

Dzien Dobry, when would you use 'nadziej umiera ostatnia'? Obviously it translates `hope dies last', but what does that mean? Is it positive (like dont give up) or negative (it's all in vain)? Dziękuję bardzo.
