Language / Instrumental - when "z" is necessary? [4]
Thank you, you are right pieniędzmi is not a tool here, I don't know why it was strange for me..
Polonius3: thanks, yes I know that there are verbs which we need to use with instrumental. I didn't know that in this case we do not use "z", it is a new information.
Thanks a lot!

Language / Instrumental - when "z" is necessary? [4]
I thought I understand when "z" is necessary but now I think no. Please help.
Mama smaruje chleb masłem. - Masło is tool, so no need to use "z".
Ona lubi chleb z masłem. - Chleb and masło is together, so we speak about two things which are together. I thought this is when we need z.
Other examples:
Zawsze piszę żółtą kredą na tablicy - żółta kreda is tool, no "z"
Kroil mieso nożem - tool, no "z"
Mamy kłopoty z pieniędzmi - why is it "z" here??
I didn't find the rule. Thank you!

Study / Polish language schools in Krakow [30]
I was attending the PROLOG 2 weeks intensive course in this August. I'm very satisfied. (I was also on a course 4 years ago in Lublin so I can compare). First we had a test which was a 100 questions test. In the group we were 8 (our group was the biggest) and all of them were on the same level. The course was very intensive, lessons from 9-14. I also had individual lessons in the afternoon.
I learned a lot, we spoke all the time in Polish, it was great. Lot of the students were here not the first time. For one of them it was the 6th time.
I recommend them.

Yeah this is why I have troubles because in Hungarian a lot of things are different than in Polish. If I would have learned German, it would be easier.
Thanks!

Language / How to understand and remember the Polish nominative plural form? [9]
Yes, rzeczy and myszy are exceptions. Also for feminine kości and powieści.
I think there is no way that I have to learn plural form for a lot of words and then I will know or I'll feel what to use..
+
Regarding cz and rz I am confused for masc.personal. For feminine the ending is same (-e) but for masc personal different. So I think I just need to learn, not to understand or find the logic.
Would be easier to learn if there is a logic in it..
Thanks anyway!

Language / How to understand and remember the Polish nominative plural form? [9]
What is the best way to understand and remember the nominative plural form? I tried to understand the logic, but no success.
I always thought that the most important is to know what is hard and what is soft consonants. But I see not that it's not enough.
Example where I'm confused:
cz or rz is hard but ends differently (-e) than other hard consonants (-y) for masc.personal
For feminine
b, d, f, ch, ł, m, n, p, r, s, t, w, z
ends -y but
c, cz, dz, dż, h, ż, rz, anin, ć, dź, j, l, ń, ś, ź
ends -e (some part is soft some hard)
How can you learn it?
Thank you for any advise...

Thank you for the detailed answer!
We don't understand this part. I have asked my Polish colleauge, she also doesn't understand what you mean by this. Dzwoniono is existing today, not Dzwonione.
Thanks!
Thank you for the detailed answer!
historically it is a neuter (neuter gender) form of a passive adjectival participle (now the actual neuter form of a passive adjectival participle has a different ending (-e not -o)

Language / Collection of learning resources for learning the Polish language [129]
I have bought a lot of books. Very good are from Universitas, but these are quite difficult. I have almost all and very good when I need to check something in the grammar.
I also have the Teach Yourself one but I don't like it.
After buying a lot of books and learning for 4-5 years now I can tell you that (for me) the best books is:
Polish in 4 weeks.
The name shows that this is a travel guide kind book, but not. Very detailed. The 2 books contain B1 level grammar and vocabulary. I am trying now to learn from A-Z because I prepare for B1 exam. Looks super.
