" Ewelina wants you"

Context? Wants to fcuk you? Wants to speak to you?

As Polish is so difficult

No, you giving no context make things difficult.

No Wulkan me giving no context does not make it difficult.
Polish is what makes it difficult.
John says to Paul :" Damian wants you". Paul says :"ok".
Thats how it works in English. Of course he could say what for. Which the reply could be :" i dont know".
This is very normal.

So if i am trying or asking someone what is Polish for :" he wants you".
And he/she doesn't understand then i am afraid that is the Polish language's fault.
None mine. There is no need to say why in English. It's perfectly acceptable.

Merged: "I want you" in Polish?

After i had translated the indicated sentences, a mod, recorded msg or other
e-robot said: the thread was moved or closed and your data cannot be posted. Sorry!
So the translation would go to waste I am re-threading it here:

Language / Short Polish<->English translations [1033]

Merged: Translation from English to Polish using "you".

I was talking to my Polish friend.
Getting her to translate some things for me. Which is never easy. As Polish is so difficult and she sometimes doesn't understand. So a simple thing like " Ewelina wants you", ended up taking 30 mins for her to translate something for me which i am not even convinced is correct.

So.................. i want you
he/she wants you
John/Ewelina wants you??????????????? anyone??
i thought it would be Ewelina chce cie. But she said that makes no sense.

UK, Ireland / Ad from my UK newspaper today : not worth a zloty [13]

ok thanks for the all the information.

one more question.

i have been to poland a few times now and cannot remember too much about the money exactly.

Is a 200 zloty note the highest value????

doesnt seem much for your countrys highest valued note

it is £100 in the uk which would be the equivalent of 600 zloty

cheers again

Life / How many Jewish people live in Poland? [145]


First of all please guys dont fight about my post.
There is no need.
I asked the question because i visit Poland frequently.
Mostly krakow.
Which obviously is steeped in history and culture.
It has a Jewish district of course.
And i was just curious and interested.

Tez jestem studentem jezyka polskiego :))
na razie i dziekuje za pomoc

Language / So why did you give up learning Polish? [105]

Language / A little Polish grammar. Masculine, animate objects. [64]

No problems, hehehe.

Animals however are 'żywotne nieosobowe' (would that be 'animate non-personal' in English?).[/quote]

i would assume so :))

cheers again

Language / A little Polish grammar. Masculine, animate objects. [64]

really bartolome?

the thing i love about polish is the more you learn the more you just get confused.

well that would explain it but that is strange

im sure one of my teachers spoke about spiders etc been animate objects in the grammatical sense

anyway cheers (so it is only men/women and children in a grammatical sense that are animate nothing else that is alive?)

and isnt it "troje dzieci"?

Travel / Krakow to Zakopane - public transport [12]

You would be far better getting the train.

I use the train from krakow Glowny

I google pkp which is the train service operating from there (i think)

if you google 'pkp' it will tell you everything

you can click on the union jack at the top of the page to change it to english

well you just need to know a little polish

you just put in leaving from krakow of course to zakopane

it will tell you when the trains leave

how many stops

the price

the different trains you can get

plus this is very cheap and fast and convenient

hope this helpes

Language / Distinguishing between boy/boyfriend/......girl/girlfriend in polish [14]

Collins Paperback English Dictionary :

Boyfriend : a male friend with WHOM a person is romantically or sexually involved.
(not just a friend)

Males dont refer to their male friends as boyfriends (obviously the exception is gay males, but you know i was not talking about that)

Or even boy friend

Girls, especially, younger girls may refer to one of their friends as a girl friend ( 2 separate words) Unless of course they are gay also.

So i think im none the wiser with my polish unless i say "my" first :))
