Language / to be substituted (with reference to football) [7]


You could try better, too.
No wonder people find the Polish language difficult. So many words that they cannot look up in dictionaries.

Language / to be substituted (with reference to football) [7]


On zostanie zmieniony za 10 minut. (10 = dziesięć)
On został właśnie zmieniony.
On został zmieniony z powodu kontuzji.
Zawodnik nr 9 został zmieniony przez zawodnika nr 17. (nr = numer, 9 = dziewięć, 17 = siedemnaście)
Trener zmienił go na innego zawodnika.

The pronoun on is usually omitted, unless there is special need of it.


I think zmieniać is slightly more frequent, but in general both are acceptable here.

Language / How to pronouce Szczygieł last name? [26]

"seagull"? This is a joke, right?

"seagull' is pronounced /ˈsiːgʌl/
"szczygieł" is pronounced /ˈʃʧɨgʲew/

Not a single sound is the same so how on earth this can be correct?
