I don't intend to study Polish as it is my mother tongue but I wish you all good luck. I'm surprised to see people who plan to study it. Usually Russian wins among people interested in slavic languages.
Regarding the name, how about Dżdżownica (eartworm):P or maybe Gżegżółka (a folk name for common cuckoo and a word commonly used to confuse native speakers due its irregular spelling). Just kidding. But keep the latter word in mind, you might impress many Poles by showing you know how to spell it. :) Edited by pesahson on 15 December 2011 at 2:38pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Dzięki pesahson, barzdo życzliwa!
The consensus regarding the name is distinctly bovine, so I'm happy with either Żubr or Żubrówka. Heck, even my tag name is appropriate ('Moo'by). Maybe I can be the team mascot, just don't barbeque me! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

@ Mooby, I suggest the following correction:
bardzo życzliwa - very kind (feminine), it lacks the subject Jestem (I am) bardzo wdzięczna - I am very grateful ( I guess it is what you wanted to convey ;)) Keep up the good work! Sorry for interrupting the stream of ideas. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Dzięki Gosiak,
I actually wanted to say 'You are(Jesteś) very kind' but shortened it to 'very kind'. I've noticed that some terms I can get away with in English can't be used in Polish in the same way. So thanks for highlighting that. And also for a new word for me to learn (wdzięczny)....I am indeed grateful! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

If I may...Podziękowania (many thanks doesn't really works in Polish) dla naszych polskich kolegów i koleżanek za ich oferty życzliwej pomocy (pomagać is a verb). 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thanks for that, good to know that a direct translation of 'many/much thanks' is a no go in Polish, as I tend to use it a lot in English. Yes I do realise it's a verb, I was trying to say '...for their kind offer to help'. That doesn't work? 1 person has voted this message useful |
