It's true... if only you had a chance to go through Polish alphabet first... just to match letters or clusters of letters with their sounds, it would be a piece of cake for you to read all Polish sentences with very good pronunciation. You need to know that there are no letters: x, v and q in Polish alphabet but there are letters: ą, ę, ś, ć, ń, ź, ó, ż - these are no accented letters but normal letters with their specyfic sound👍 clusters of letters which make one sound: cz, sz, rz dz, dż. When you know these sounds, you can read correctly whatever you want. It's like in Spanish... you see a letter and you pronounce it always the same. There are no silent letters in Polish, no words that start with "y" and all women names end with an "a" 😉

@@jccbm at Times you really sounds like native polish. Very good polish accent

1:42 You pronounced it better than 99% of english speakers

A short explanation :> Usually "ę" sounds like /e/ when it's at the end of a word or like /en/ when it's somewhere in the middle. Eg. "śpię" (I'm sleeping) is like /śpie/ and "ręka" (a hand) is like /renka/. Meanwhile "ą" usually sounds like English /ow/ when it's at the end of the word, or like /on/ when it's in the middle of a word. Eg. "są" (they are) is pretty similar to the English words "to sow"/"so" and the word "ląd" (a landmass) sounds like /lond/. Some people naturally say them in a more nasal way, but generally if someone is making "ę" and "ą" very prominent in their speach it feels like they're trying to sound smart. And the last little trivia. There are no words in Polish that start with either of these letters, however, we do have a very informal expression that is just "Ą-Ę" (said very nasally) and we use it to point out that someone or something is really fancy/pretentious - like an expensive restaurant or an annoying colleague. It's typically slightly pejorative, because it originated from people who tried to sound intelligent, by pronouncing the words in a hypercorrect way :D

All possible confusions are caused by lazy and/or ignorant fuckers. For example Dziękuję means I thank.

The similarities between for example the 'kolacja' word and the italian word you compared it to, come from (as far as I know) the fact that we had an Italian queen at one point. She brought over a LOT of words and some vegetables we literally refer to as 'italian-ish' (not sure how to make an english equivalent but it implies being from Italy). There's a bunch of others though often a little misunderstood and in a very logical way. For example; 'kapelusz' is hat in Polish but if i remember correctly, it's HAIR in Italian. 'Skarpeta' is sock in Polish but actually SHOE in Italian. And so on.

Duolingo trolling with similar looking "je" and "jest" was the funniest part

Fun fact - polish 'herbata' comes from 'herba' from latin (herb) and 'ta' comes from chinese (I believe it's south china but don't remember the spelling) so basically it makes a lot of sense.

8:45 the word for tea actually follows the logic of naming tea in other languages. Depending on whether the tea was imported by land from the north of China where the name for it was pronounced closer to chai or by water from south where it was called ta, the words for tea follow either one or the other pattern. Now in the olden days, especially with plants that were supposed to have healing properties, you would name not only the plant, but also the part that was used/being sold - and that was based I think on latin. So if you use: a root - it's radix a fruit - it's fructus bark - it's cortex the green stuff is herba. I say green stuff, because if you meant leaves specifically, you woud write, for example, "folia urtica dioica" in the recipe, which would mean "a leaf of a nettle". I think you see where I am going with this. Herbata is two words mashed together - herba ta, as in the green parts of the plant known as "ta". So it looks different because it's two words mashed together, but really isn't.

Yeah! I talked exactly about that on the Swahili video!

Your pronunciation is actually pretty good. You can adjust it very quickly after just a couple of listens. Pretty impressive.

Funnily enough English "tea" and Polish "herbata" come from the same arabic word that means "extract of leaves". Polish just took first part of it and English took second. It sounds something like "herbathea"

The full story is even more interesting, about why most languages have some variation of "tea" or "chai". One spread through land trading routes and the other one through maritime routes. I think I read both came from China though but I'm not certain about that.

Polish is a pro drop language so you can lose any word in a sentence as long as it still makes sense in the context. "To [jest] duży pająk" stands for "It [is] a large spider". You just cannot drop the "is" in English. "One" is "they" feminine in plural, so the sentence "One są ludźmi tak samo jak my" means "They [women] are people same as we [men] are". Otherwise you did great!!!

​@@sylwiatime "One są ludźmi tak samo jak my." A woman might say that about black women to other racist women, for example. So it does not follow from the context that the speaker is a man and is saying this to other men.
