How to Express Your Impressions and Feelings in Polish. Exclamations.

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!)

How to say "my" and "your" in Polish. Why we need 3 forms?

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".

How to avoid a strange "dzi" sound when you speak Polish.

Beginner Polish learners get sometimes confused seeing so many words with a quite strange (from foreigner’s point of view) spelling: dziękuje, dzień, dziewczyna. “Dzi”: how for God sake do I pronounce it?! These three letters are represented by one sound. Let's call it the "dzi" sound. Is it possible to avoid words with this strange “dzi” sound?

I have a bad and a good piece of news for you. The bad news: it’s almost impossible to avoid  the “dzi” sound  when you speak Polish, because many the most frequent  and useful  Polish words contain “dzi” sound. How can we talk not using words like: "thank you", "day",  "girl", "family" or "child"? I can’t imagine that. These words are so basic, that they do not have even synonyms.
