Hello everyone,
I came across a great site with conversational connectors for the Czech language (check it out here: sites.google.com/site/fluentczech/connectorstarterpack).
Does any resource like this exist for Polish? I searched myself but was unable to find anything. If someone has something similar and would be willing to share it, that would be much appreciated.
I searched this forum too with no luck, although the "Filler words" thread is something similar.
I also thought about doing a Google Translate of the English phrases to Polish, but I'm not sure if these phrases would even make sense in Polish.
Thanks in advance.
Dziękuję bardzo.
From watching interviews on Polish TV it seems obvious that an increasingly popualr filler phrase is 'Powiem tak...'. It apparently gives the interviewee a few moments to collect his thoughts.
Previosuly, officials being interviewed used to start with: 'Jak na dzień dzisiejszy....'
Others include (just off hand):
'To bardzo dobre pytanie...'
'Cieszę się, że pan o to zapytał...'
So, those are like (please correct me if I'm wrong):
-"I'll say yes"
-"As of today"
-"That's a good question"
-"I'm glad you asked"
Thank you for those Polonius! That's exactly what I'm looking for.
Are there any other common ones for Polish? For example, I am also studying Armenian. In Armenian they often say, "To be honest...", "In one word...", "As far as I know", and, "It seems to me..."
