Thanks! Yeah, I've been able to absorb some foreign sounds, but I still felt very crippled when pronouncing it

[@witoldtadeusz]

Still funny hearing Englishmen confusing "ś"/"si-" and "ć"/"ci-" with "sz" and "cz". And shame about "ę", it is really a mess. It started as a nasal vowel like ą (only based on e), but at the word endings it degenerated to simple e, and in the middle of a word it's usually pronounced with this "ghost n", like you called it. Just Poles too lazy about pronunciation.

[@bartekromanczuk4862]

@@witoldtadeusz I was born in Poland and i have been living here for almost 20 years and never saw a better explanation of "ę" XD.

[@mwb7664]

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

[@jccbm]

Damn, what an interesting and informative comment. Thanks for sharing! Nasal vowels can be tricky for us speakers of non-nasal vowel languages. Portuguese also has some of those, I can imagine it's easy to differentiate native speakers from foreigners if you pay attention to it.

[@undefinednull5749]

@@jccbm It actually is (should) always be the same sound. If someone is lazy and/or ignorant as fuck, then he will mispronounce the last sounds of the words he says. Even though there is a big difference in meaning between these sounds. Polish is a very consistent language which simplifies things. All possible confusions are caused by lazy and/or ignorant fuckers. For example Dziękuję means I thank. But Dziękuje means (someone and/or something) thanks (someone and/or something) Idiots don't differentiate and try to excuse their lazy as fuck behaviour with not being ,,pretentious".

As a Polish person I have to say that you did very well and your pronunciation is also good and I think it's because you have already studied other Slavic languages for example Russian (there is a lot of similar sounds that both exist in Polish and Russian)

[@jccbm]

Dziękuję! Yes, exploring other languages is an extremely good way of getting familiar with different sounds. Without a doubt it's helped a lot!

[@o0julek0o]

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.

[@Miczka1988]

A lot of comments say your pronunciation is great. Well, you do almost sound like a native. I think biggest giveaway is ć, but I know ppl who moved to Poland like 20 years ago and still pronounce ć as cz and ś as sz

[@jccbm]

Hahaha thanks! Yeah, the ć-cz,ś-sz, ź-ż and dź-dż don't even sound different until you really pay attention (as an english/spanish speaker)

[@narva6772]

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.

[@jccbm]

It does. It's just the odd one out.

[@undefinednull5749]

Nah, it's just an altered pronunciation of ,,herbal tea". Czy chcesz herbal te? -> A co to jest herbal ta? itd

[@narva6772]

​@@undefinednull5749 nope, it only has the same origin. English "tea" comes from chinese "te", and herb from latin "herba". We just altered it differently to fit our languages.

[@narva6772]

You can also find some sources claming that polish "herbata" comes from latin "herba thea" but latin "herba thea" also comes from chinese altered to fit latin.

As a Ukrainian, I've always wondered why 1 cyrillic letter "Щ" stands for 4 Polish ones "szcz" 😅 It scares me

[@jccbm]

Never thought of that! In English you would also need 4 letters for that

[@Morrov]

Щ always kinda sounds softer to me, more like our "ść"

[@kztuptuo7076]

Ok if my sources are correct (wikipedia 😂) Ш ш

[@bobstone0]

Because the sound "szcz" consists of "sz", "cz"which can occur separately. Similarly, "sz" is divided into "s" and "z" which are sovereign sounds.

[@bobstone0]

Besides, I have the impression that Russian speakers are deaf when they say that "shch" is one sound. Ш It sounds more like "szczo" with an accent on "o". Similarly, Russian speakers do not hear the difference between "ść" and "ści". - Suwereność - Suwereności

@@jccbm There is a general rule to this that we used to get drilled into us in like the first 3 years of primary school. You use Ó whenever the word is a derivative of one spelled with an O. For example: Speech (mowa) ---> To speak (mówić)

[@Deailon]

@@jccbm basically yes, but there are a few differences that can be heard in some words and dialects. Eg. many people pronounce 'nuż' (a tad archaic exclamation) and 'nóż' a bit differently, the first one harder on both 'u' and 'ż', the other lighter, with 'ż' going almost into 'sz' in the effect. It is a similar situation with 'rz' and 'ż' - only in some words, the difference can be still heard (the first one was more like 'ř' of the Czech language but got harder and harder with time). Confusingly, there is also 'rż' left in some words and 'rz' read 'r z' in a few more. On the other hand, "ch" and "h" are still often pronounced a bit differently, the second one being more breathy and sometimes (though not often anymore) dropped entirely. For the most part, they also are hard to distinguish.

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.

You got ą and ę right, many foreginers just say a and e without the ~ part. And you are right with those being very similar to french i think

[@jccbm]

It's a somewhat common sound in various languages, but as a Spanish/English speaker it can be quite weird at first!

[@sylwiatime]

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!!!

[@jccbm]

Cool, thanks! I've learned that about some other slavic languages too. Verb "to be" is often dropped.

[@lexu3435]

"my" at the and of ur polish example sentence is not only for man

[@sylwiatime]

@@lexu3435 It is in context since "one" is only for women.

[@ohboi1205]

"tak samo jak my" is more "just like us" ( i get what u mean)

[@jerzyblinowski5177]

​@@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.

[@andromeda1609]

The ę in middle thing is that there is some let's say softing letters that have affect on pronunciation of letters before them. For example in word "Dziękuję" there is ę and then k and pronounce then is a little hard or it sounds unnatural when you try say ę instead of en. And another thing is that 'ę' on the end of a verb means that saying person is the performer of the action and when it's just 'e' then someone else is performer, it's more writing thing but it's important in correct grammar

We use the "ę" symbol at the end of verbs when we talk in first person and normal "e" when we talk in the third person (I sometimes struggle with this too, even though it's my first languge). There are rules about using "u" and "ó", but there are exeptions from said rules as well.

I have no idea who you are, but you're good! I believe that owoce would be pronounced oVOTseh. I probably only learned the word for juice yesterday, but a c that does not have an I or a cz after it is this strange sound that is pronounced ts. I still have trouble pronouncing y and my very least favorite word is chce although I'm still not a big fan of trzy either. I am going to continue to fight with prepositions... But I thought first maybe I should learn some more nouns. I discovered that all the words or most of the words I learned from my seven different Polish books four of which were books to learn Polish and then there were two dictionaries and something else, 38 years ago, I'm remembering them better, than the words I try to learn now. That really sucks because now we have the internet! And I can actually hear people speaking these words. I can translate, Google translate. There are at least nine people on KZbin trying to teach you Polish. But at least now I speak out loud instead of whispering. Strange thing, back in 1985, I would always whisper in Polish. So far I haven't tried to speak to anybody Polish in Polish. Except that time when I whispered butter too loud and my friend heard me and handed it to me. I forgot about neuter feminine masculine alive and masculine not living. Actually I only forgot about the last two... I need to generate some energy in my brain and work on it some more.
