Thanks! Finally found someone who teaches real grammar and not only random words... Polish is a language full of complicated grammar rules that are struggling me, and these videos are VERY HELPFUL.

This is both incredibly comprehensive and easy to understand for a polish student like me. But it also makes a good bedtime podcast. Very relaxing!

Thank you for these reliable high quality content videos on youtube.

Thanks Monika, your explanations and pronunciation is superb!

you're awesome, finally a polish teacher that is teaching me real polish words I need.

Great video once again, are you planning on covering the plural endings for nouns and adjectives at some point in the future?

Yes, that's the plan. First go through the cases in singular, and then move to plural forms.

Jesteś super..dzięki

Thank you Monika, you have been invaluable in my understanding of Polish. Much appreciated. I still have a long way to go, but your lessons have set me on the right path.

Dziekuje Monika.

O! Ta lekcja jest ekstra! Pani dokładnie wyjaśnia przypadek dopełniacza języka polskiego! 👏👏 Uczę się polskiego od trzech lat i jeszcze nie znałem wszystkich funkcji tego przypadku 😅 Dziękuję bardzo za pomoc! Pozdrawiam serdecznie! 😊

This lesson is pure gold ✨

Thank you very much Monika for your video lessons, its very useful, specially working with polish.

Thank you for your videos! they are so useful and informative.

Wonderful piece of work and so helpful. I really liked that you provided lots of examples at the end

Excellent explanation of what - in my opinion - is the most difficult case to use. One idea how to remember why you have to use genetive with verbs, like szukać, for example szukam pracy: - it is actually the same logic as wanting "a part of a quantity", like the example you used of "I want some bread - not the whole bread. I am looking/searching for one job, out of the many that exist. I need one appartment, out of the many appartments that exist. Same idea behind the usage. I hope that is correct.

Incredible video! Thank you so much

I was waiting for this video. Thank you! ❤

Thank you for the video! 😊

Great job, Monica! Just love your videos. 😍 My great-great-grandma was Polish and I think the time to learn this language a bit has finally come. 🙃 btw, the "hard" consonant as you call it, is called "voiced" in English, there are also voiceless ones 🤗

That's great! In Polish, apart from soft and hard consonants, we also have voiced and voiceless consonants! These are two different ways how the consonants can be categorized. 1. SOFT vs. HARD consonants - Soft (and softened) consonants have the tongue closer to the palate, such as Ś, SI, Ć, CI, Ź, ZI, DŹ, DZI, Ń, NI, J, KI, GI, BI, FI, HI, LI, MI, PI, WI - Hard (and hardened) consonants are non-palatalized, such as B, C, CZ, D, DZ, DŻ, F, G, H, K, L, Ł, M, N, P, R, S, SZ, T, W, Z, Ż 2. VOICED vs. VOICELESS consonants - Voiced consonants produce some vibration in the vocal cords, such as B, D, DZ, DŹ, DŻ, G, J, L, Ł, M, N, N, R, W, Z, Ź, Ż - Voiceless consonants do not produce vibration in the vocal cords, such as C, Ć, CZ, F, H, K, P, S, Ś, SZ, T

Pierwszego września -since spring is inanimate masculine, would it end with a "u"? Thanks you for all of your tutorials!

@PolishwithMonika

Жыл бұрын

Many inanimate masculine nouns have -a ending in genitive, like the names of the months, e.g. wrzesień > września, marzec > marca Exception: luty > lutego

You say tego is genitive for this but in your accusative case lecture you have tego for this too. . Can tego be used for both?

great lesson. But I did not understand some of the parts. for example you are using u and a both for masculine. But when u and when a ?

47:58 would you mind explaining the second sentence "nie było mnie w szkole" ? Why isn't it "nie byłam/em" ?

@PolishwithMonika

Жыл бұрын

In Polish we use the construction NIE MA/BYŁO/BĘDZIE + KOGO/CZEGO in negative sentences when we say that someone or something is absent somewhere. Nie ma mnie w szkole. - I am not at school. (Literally: It has no me at school.) Nie było mnie w szkole. - I was not at school. (Literally: There was no me at school.) Nie będzie mnie w szkole. - I won't be at school. (Literally: There will not be me at school.) It is not very clear why this construction has been invented. Some explain that it is used to differentiate the affirmative and negative sentence. Some also mention that this describes the subject from an outer perspective. Maybe if the subject does not exist it cannot be in the normal position in the sentence ... But, in other types of sentences you can see the construction "nie jestem", "nie byłam", "nie będę", for example: Nie jestem lekarzem. - I am not a doctor. (Here we describe the subject with a predicative) Nie byłam pewna. - I was not sure. Nie będę cicho. - I will not be quiet.

24:37 could you give examples of diminutive forms?

@PolishwithMonika

Жыл бұрын

A diminutive form is used to show that something is small or in a expressive meaning. The diminutive forms for masculine nouns have endings like: -ek, -ik, -yk (also: -eczek, -uszek, -iczek, -yczek, -unio, -uś). For example, for the word "stół" (in genitive: stołu) the diminutive forms are: stolik = mały stół (genitive: stolika) stoliczek = bardzo mały stół (genitive: stoliczka) For the word "papier" (in genitive: papieru) the diminutive form is: papierek = mały papier (genitive: papierka) NOTE! Not all the diminutive forms of masculine nouns have -a ending in the genitive case. There are many words that have -u ending! For example, for the word "dom" (in genitive: domu) the diminutive forms are: domek = mały dom (genitive: domku) domeczek = bardzo mały dom (genitive: domeczku)

Quick question. In the sentence: "Kto jest prezydentem Polski?"....is prezydentem in the Accusative and Polski in the Genitive?

How do we know when to add A or when to add U for masculine inanimate nouns (probably the most common ones) in the genitive, Monia? You have kindly given us a list of some noun types for the A ending but I have a feeling it is very much a lottery/pot luck/50-50 chance of being A or U?

@PolishwithMonika

There are some basic guidelines about the -u and -a ending for the masculine nouns in the genitive case (as mentioned in the video). But sometimes it is not very straightforward and it's best to check the form in a dictionary, e.g. Wiktionary, or wsjp.pl.

Is 'Kazdego dnia' excatly the same as 'codziennie'?

@PolishwithMonika

10 ай бұрын

'Codziennie' and 'każdego dnia' are synonyms and mean basically the same 'every day'. However I feel a slight difference: 'Codziennie' is more commonly used and neutral, used mainly to tell about habits. Codziennie wstaję o ósmej. - I wake up at 8 every day. Sklep jest otwarty codziennie od 8 do 20. - The store is open every day 8 AM - 8 PM. 'Każdego dnia' is also common, but less common than 'codziennie', and sounds slightly more emphasized , often like 'every single day' or 'each day'. Każdego dnia uczę się czegoś nowego. - Every day, I learn something new. I recommend using the National Corpus of the Polish Language (Narodowy Korpus Języka Polskiego) www.nkjp.uni.lodz.pl/ to compare the frequency and see many example of sentences with the words of interest.
