Polish Girlfriend

2016-11-08 20:46:18 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0 0

I am American.
I speak, read and write Polish.
The same for English.

Both English and Polish use Latin letters.

But some Polish letters have a quite different sound than in English. And Polish letter combinations have different sounds.

For example:

Polish dz sounds close to English j.
Polish ie sounds like y (like ye in yellow).
Polish w sounds like English v.
But when that Polish w is not at the beginning of the word, it has more of an f sound.
Polish cz sounds like English ch.
Polish i sounds like English long e, like ee in cheese.
The Polish n sounds like English n is this word, but if Polish n is followed by i or ie the sound of the Spanish n with the mark above it (I don't have it on my phone) like in the Spanish word manana (tomorrow).
Polish a always has the same sound, all the time, like English ah: Open your mouth and say ahhh!
Accent (stress) in Polish is always on the penultimate (next to the last) syllable.

Dziewczyna? this could be any young girl, but not necessarily a girl that one takes out for a date- more of a young female friend.

great language, almost as classy as Greek :)

Girl
Singular Plural
Nominative dziewczyna dziewczyny
Genitive dziewczyny dziewczyn
Dative dziewczynie dziewczynom
Accusative dziewczynę dziewczyny
Instrumentative dziewczyną dziewczynami
Locative dziewczynie dziewczynach
As you can see it's quite regular. Possible changes are:

softening of final consonant group in the singular dative and locative (which have the same form)
change of "o" to "ó" (pronounced "u") in the plural genitive
insertion of "e" between the two final consonants in the plural genitive. You may think of this "e" as a kind of aid to pronunciation. "mrówk" would be pretty hard to say without this "e". The Polish language allows quite complicated consonant groups at the the beginning of a syllable, but it tries to avoid complex syllable endings.
These changes aren't specific to the feminine noun declension - they happen throughout the Polish language,
błogosławieństwo

In the translator program below it gave a different word: Koleżanka
Don't know how to show you a dialect over the web. They do show some verbal dictionary software that you might look up. Good luck

FYI:
Girlfriend = dziewczyna (yes, it means "a girl", but once it becomes "one's dziewczyna", it starts to mean "girlfriend" / "sweetheart").
Narzeczona = fiancee. Using this term means that either she's going to be married to the guy in question (and they're serious about it enough to make it official ;) ), or (rarely) someone's just hopelessly old-fashioned ;)
Koleżanka = colleague (female). Also used to refer to any female friend you do not consider to be romantically engaged with the man in question.

Yes. Poland is a part of the EU so we can't deny her the right to exist here. At any rate, yes, she could become British. Even from outside the EU you can marry someone and they can become British.
