Sometimes you want to express your spontaneous feelings or first impressions. Positive or negative. I mean situations when we need exclamations as: "what a terrible day!", "what a pretty girl!" and so on. How to express your likes and dislikes in Polish?
The easiest way to do that in Polish is to use a word "jaki" before an adjective with a noun which describe your feeling towards the object.
Let's take the second example: "What a pretty girl!".
In Polish: "Jaka ładna dziewczyna!"
Use a word "jaki" before masculine nouns. Jaki okropny dzień! (What a terrible day!)
Use "jaka" before feminine nouns. Jaka fajna kawiarnia! (What a cool café!)
Use a word "jakie" before neutral nouns. Jakie duże miasto! (What a big city!)
Today we will learn some useful Polish phrases which concern your ability to speak and understand Polish. I mean phrases like: "I speak Polish a little", "I don't undersand", "Could you speak more slowly, please!", "I'm learning Polish" and some more.
I hope that you don't need an expression "I don't speak Polish" any more. The girl in the picture on the left doesn't seem to feel very comfortable with this phrase. Let's begin our lesson. As always, you can listen to recordings with all Polish words and expression (bold print).
Talking about things or persons belonging to us is a really nice thing, isn’t it? We can talk about that for hours. We keep on talking even if people who are listening to us get bored quickly. Let’s try to talk about that in Polish! At first look it seems to be a bit complicated because the word “my” has 3 basic forms in Polish. The same is with a word “your” (singular). “My” can be translated as mój, moja or moje in Polish. “Your” can be translated as twój, twoja or twoje into Polish. A right choice of a right form among these 3 forms depends on the gender of a noun which follows the word "my" or "your".
