Po Polsku Time : 1H:45 minutes today
Finding out the meaning of a word:
Co to znaczy? - To jest trudnie pytanie - na pewno.
Co to się mówi "zajebisty" po angielsku - ******* awesome
;Jakie to słowo będzie po polsku? - Co? - To słowo - Jakie słowo? "word" - To słowo po
polsku to 'słowo'. ;
A rather confusing affair between two students.
I learnt about the comparative and superlative forms too:
ten samochód jest lepszy, niż jego, ale tamten jest nasz najlepszy samochód -
ta lampa jest dobra, ale tamta jest jeszcze gorsza
to jest nasze dobre radio, ale tu jest nasze najlepsze radio
|

|
ten samochód jest lepszy niż jego, ale nasz jest najlepszy (this car is better than his, but our is the best)
ta lampa jest dobra, ale ta jest jeszcze lepsza (this lamp is good, but this one is better) [I'm not sure what you meant here).
nasze radio jest dobre, ale to jest najlepsze (this radio is good, but this one is the best) [again - those sencentes makes no sense for me, it'd be better if you wrote it in English and let me explain you translating it into polish).
- Jak jest "słowo" po angielsku? - Jakie słowo? - No, "słowo" - "Word"
I'm trying to present you the most natural dialogs you may meet.
Jak się mówi/Jak jest "zajebisty" po angielsku - ******* awesome
"zajebisty" is an awesome word! You can put it everywhere you want make meaning of a sentence stronger. EG.:
- (ona) Ma zajebisty głos. - Her voice is f**king awesome.
- Co dostałeś z angielskiego? - 5 - Zajebiście! - What mark did you get at English classes? - A - Awesome!
- Zajebiście szybko biegasz - You run so f**king quickly.
zajebisty(m)/zajebista(f) - are adjectives
zajebiście - adverb
Don't worry! "Kurwa", "pierdolić/pieprzyć" are way more complicated! ;)
If you don't mind, you may correct my English mistakes ;)

By the way, yesterday I was thinking of different ways of saying: "I don't care" in polish. I hope it'll be useful if you want to understand coloquial language.
The phrases are sorted from less to more vulgar. Translating them into English totally makes no sense, but I did it to show you what they mean.
Nie interesuje mnie to. - (lit. I'm not interested)
Nie obchodzi mnie to. - (lit. I don't care about it)
Mam to gdzieś. - (more vulgar - lit. I have it somewhere)
Mam to w nosie. - (as above - lit. I have it inside my nose)
Mam w to wbite. - (colloq. - ... I have no idea how to translate it)
Wisi mi to. - (colloq. - lit. It hangs for me)
Sram na to. - (vulgar - lit. I shit on it)
Mam to w dupie. - (as above - lit. I have it in my ass)
Mam to w piździe. - (as above - lit. I hvae it in my pussy [women don't use it, really]
Chuj mnie to boli. - (as above - lit. My cock hurts cause of it)
Mam na to wyjebane. - (as above - lit. makes no sense)
Mam w to wyjebane. (as above but with another preposition)
Mam wyjebane - very vulgar way of saying "I don't f**king care", eg:
Mam wyjebane na szkołę - I don't f**king care about school.
Mam w niego wyjebane - I don't f**king care about him.
It seems to be more complicated than in English, isn't it?
Good luck! ;)

The first i would say (pointing to a car) "that car is better than his (car), but that
one there (pointing again) is our best car! (perhaps assuming the first car is also
ours, or you are in a garage full of cars)
The second is odd because ive confused the two, perhaps if it "said that lamp is good
and the other is even better" it would make more sense instead of saying 'one is good
and the other is even worse'
third makes sense to me but i only used them as exercises to familiarise myself with
these forms:
Dobry: lepszy: Najlepszy: Dobrze: Lepiej
Zły : Gorszy : Najgorszy: źle: Gorzej
Duży: Większy: Największy: Dużo: Więcej
Mały: Mniejszy: Najmniejszy: Mało: Mniej

The sentence was so confusing for the speakers because they were not clear about which
word was being referred to.
A lot of my constructions used seem strange and un natural however they are what gets
presented in the text "Oscar swan's first year polish", perhaps more colloquial
dialogues will be presented in the future
I loved your section on zajebisty / Zajebiście and your musings of i dont care in
polish. As for corrections with your English, your grasp is very impressive:
I'm trying to present you with the most natural dialogs you may meet.
I'm trying to present to you the most natural dialogs you may meet.
I'm trying to present the most natural dialogs you may meet.
"zajebisty" is an awesome word! You can put it anywhere you want to make
the meaning of a sentence stronger
What mark did you get in English classes?

thank you for your kind words, Sooniye.
I read something interesting from another forum member, inactive since 2007 however,
and they said this:
PREPARING
Awareness
Knowing what
Knowing how
Setting goals
extra-linguistic

Gathering materials
Time (Have you lived a million hours?)
Language skills in your mother tongue

TESTING
good for nothing
it’s for teachers to make you believe they are necessary and they know better
it’s for publishers to trick you into buying their books
it’s for school authorities and politicians to make a living and control you,
and tell you what you should do and fear them
It does make you think

Thank you for your kind words! I saw you're a sydneysider, I was too until I moved to
brisvegas :) I look forward to seeing your progress, especially with your language
tutor.
I've been trying to get 2 hours a day between my two main languages at the moment, as
we can see from the picture ci-dessous (below) i've logged almost 30 hours without
adding today's french hours (assumed to be 1.5)
Im doing a half super challenge and so far have read 150 pages, (le petit prince) and
almost 10 chapters of "Les trois mousquetaires"
If you've been following me so far, my gratitude to you :)
