Spelling / pronunciation of Polish words and phrases

Can someone please confirm that I have the following phrases in the right context and grammar. It is going to be a new tattoo tribute to my parents and I would like for it to be correct before I get it.

Mój ojciec dał mi siłę i mądrość
Moja matka dała mi miłość i piękność

Thanks for your time and help!!

Looks good to me!

"piękno" not "piękność"

why would it only be piękno and not piękność

Beauty, as an abstract noun.

How about ...miłość i urodę...?

I like that one, thanks!

"piękność" is just a very old fashion word. It sounds funny. We do not use it in the contemporary Polish


What do you mean?

If by beauty you mean goodlooking, handsome use word "uroda" not "piękno or piękność".


It will be as Polonius3 suggests:

Moja matka dała mi miłość i urodę.

moja matka dała mi miłość i piękno
uroda isn't good word
uroda mean that you look good
piękno - is something more that uroda

Merged: "life and death" phrase spelling

wondering about spelling for "life and death" phrase itself (just those three words) it would mean a lot to me

"życie i śmierć"

Remember that depending on the context these words might be subjected to case declension and other stuff ; )

Życie i śmierć - St. Teresa of Avila

Przed życiem czuję, nie przed śmiercią trwogę,
i tym umieram, że umrzeć nie mogę.

Merged: My heart My life - help with correct spelling

Can someone please tell me the correct spelling in Polish for this,,,

My heart My life

I am getting a new tattoo and want to be 100% sure of the spelling. I have seen this spelled a few different ways and want to know the proper spelling.

Thanks

moje serce moje życie

Moje serce


Moje życie

Great!! Thanks a bunch! I have seen this the most but have seen it as "moje serdeczne moje życie". Is there any reason why?

Just random google choice, without much sense.

'Heart' is a noun and shouldn't be transformed into adjective here.

Ok thanks for all the help!!

Piekno or pieknosc; it really depends on the context of the expression. Piekno is refering to the beauty that surrounds you and pieknosc would most likely refer more to a person, denoting attractiveness of a person.

Spell check needed - is this text in polish correct or not?

changes needed?

Ta dziewczyna Anita Nowak ma wiela jablek.

Więc uważaj na Anite.

Oni również zostali oszukani przez Anite.

Thank you

Almost perfect:

"Ta dziewczyna - Anita Nowak - ma wiele jabłek."

"Więc uważaj na Anitę."

"Oni również zostali oszukani przez Anitę."

Merged: Go home and go to sleep. (correct way to write it in Polish?)

Hey guys, how common is the Polish saying 'Go home and go to sleep' Idź do domu spać and is that the correct way to write it in Polish? I had friends growing up that would say that, not sure if it was just a regional thing (south-east Michigan) or what, or even why they said it, it was always just kind of funny. just curious

dzięki

Yes, in SE Michigan this was one of the few phrases many Egnlsih-sepaking PolAm kids knew. Others included a handful of swear words, a number of foods and things like "daj mi buzi". Whether your phrase was limited to SE Michigan or was Polonia-wide I do not know. For more on this please PM me.

Trying to find definition and proper spelling of two words

My dad was born in the US but his parents were from Poland. He would sometimes say something like "schlamanzania shamaroda" before "psia krew cholera". Do these two words sound familiar? (He liked to make up gibberish sometimes too, so who knows.) Thanks.

the first word was probably ślamazarna - feminine form of sluggish - I can't help you with the second word nothing similar comes to my mind

'Ślamazarna szantrapa' or 'ślamazarna szałaputa' ? Both are regionalisms of Białystok.

Looking for the proper spelling of a Polish surname. English phonetic = Yanuszewski Thanks!

Are you telling me those are English phonetic? Well.... I guess it would spell like - Januszewski. You welcome!

@Ironside ,
I listen very closely, and I thought I was probably pretty close, but I had a very close friend when I lived in another state, who spelled his name to me when we first met and then laughed like crazy when he asked me how I would pronounce it. About all I got right was the first letter. Could not see how one got "voosh" out of "wozdz". Thanks again and God Bless!
