Polish slang phrases - most popular.

Best i can do is " Taki Zimna Cholera". That's what it sounds like anyway. Something about the damn cold.
Someone Polish can probably correct me.

Do you know real phonetic simbols?From what you typed I only can see:
tʌtʃɪ ʃiːbnʌ hɒledʌ
And it sounds more like Czech than Polish.

Taki Dzie w ___ _____? I see Szee as Dzie. If you speak it sloppy like me.

And that could be a " A day In"

but it would be colleqial and not literally "in hell" (like my Hunny telling me to be very careful saying how much I like to have ice cream if I talk about it same way in Polish as I do English. I had him so cracked up. I guess it is allergorical for...<_< >_> BJ?)

It doesnt sound much like Bohemian in that context..but I havent heard it spoken since I was little

Hadn't thought of that! Just presumed she hadn't pronounced it correctly!

Have you heard "obrałem dziemnniaka" or "obrałem ciemniaka"? For those who don't know what the hell I am talking about, watch "The Potato Peelers" ;)

The phrase goes: "tak zimno, cholera!" or more likely "jak zimno, cholera!" (jak is read like yuk)

Merged: Polish Slang (NO SWEARING!) :o)

Hey,

Im currently learning polish.....which is very hard..... :o
Because of what im learning.......whenever i speak to people in polish they smile or laugh....
They say i speak very formal.....and mature......
I would like to know different polish slang words that i can use instead.....

Correct Slang

EXAMPLE: Czesc = Siema

Please if possible, write how i pronounce it as well....

Dziekuke Bardzo :o)

Do widzenia-na razie-see you

Wow, you got that one wrong. How about you first tackle the tough ones like "czesc"?

No,I didn't.
The casual form of "do widzenia" is "na razie" as well as "cześć".

"Czesc" can be used both as "goodbye/farewell/see you", and as "hallo/hi/welcome". Casual form of both "dzien dobry" and "do widzenia".

"dresiarz" - to describe a guy whose outfit of choice is a tracksuit, who isn't necessarily smart but has big muscles to make up for that, and for whom three things are of utmost importance: "fura, skóra i komóra" (car, girl, and a cell phone). :-)

Yes, you did.


That's correct. Register is important. You cannot substitute "na razie" for "do widzenia" and vice-versa.

If in formal situations you say do widzenia.
If you're talking with friends you say na razie.
This poster's friends told him he speaks too formally.And I gave him words that can make his language more casual.

Or for goodbye, just 'pa'.

And that's called register. Duh.

Other informal substitutes for "na razie": trzymaj sie, pa, hej, zdrowko, hejka, do zobaczyska, nara, narka, do zoba, spierdalam


Not quite. But close.

it's a vulgar word

Well sh1t, I thought that one would pass by unnoticed. Nonetheless, a suitable phrase in certain situations.

skóra is about leather - like leather jacket or leather seat upholstery in his fura

My Dad used to say something to us kids when we were little....I remember it as: You good boy/girl proposco zatstraniez (phonetically spelled, of course). Any help is appreciated.

Don't know what the first word is but the second one is (zasraniec) :)

I think the phrase is (no prosze, zasraniec)

Piorun
Thanks! Do you know what it means?? =)

I was wrong, in this context (You good boy/girl proposco zatstraniez) I think it’s (po prostu zasraniec) which means; (po prostu = simply) ( zasraniec = a rug rat), so whatever the first part is - of which I'm not too sure about, the second is definitely (zasraniec). Of course that’s not a literal translation but that’s the expression Americans use when they talk about toddlers and that’s exactly what zasraniec is in this case. In case it is my first thought after all than (no prosze, zasraniec = look, a rug rat).

It's a common trait of Polish slang to use a vocative case instead of the nominative, for example ''Jasiu'' instead of ''Jasio'' or ''Jaś'' (Johnny), ''misiu'' instead of ''miś'' or ''misio'' (teddy bear) or ''mistrzu''* instead of ''mistrz'' (''master''; I think the closest translation for ''mistrzu'' wolud be ''mastah'').

''Jasiu powiedział mi wczoraj, że...''
"Johnny told me yesterday that...''

*its even works better with incorrect spelling ''miszczu'' ;-)

What does "takie tam" meaning in polish language?

Different nondescript things; all and sundry; vague, unspecified things or events.

What does 'chyba coś było :) ' mean?

Dzien dobry!

I am just trying to learn a little Polish so that I can help the Polish children in my class.

They like to say 'siemanko' instead of 'good morning' at register time. I understand that this is slang for 'hello', but is it disrespectful? I like them to speak 'Polish', but don't want them to think I am an idiot!

It's pronoucned roughly like sheh-MAHN-ko. The first syllable is like the 'she' in shepherd or Shetland.
What is the age of your pupils?

I didn't see her asking for a pronunciation of siemanko (because she can hear the right sound of it from her pupils) and your "roughly" explanation of how it goes is quite a fail.
