Tube deleted my comment about bigos… 😡 Anyhow, to repeat, because good bigos requires both expensive ingredients and is crazy-labor-intense, the best bigos is either home made, or the one you can have in top notch restaurants like “Pod Lososiem” in Gdansk (where the current King of England dined when he was still a prince, so did the Pope). It is a good restaurant, my dad took me there for a celebratory dinner after I graduated university with my Master’s Degree and I took my wife there to celebrate our engagement (it is not a cheap place, but the food is head of state level good).

[@wladyslawbukowski]

In the Polish language, unlike German, there are no silent letters. The letters of the alphabet are always pronounced the same regardless of their position in words. Letter sets such as sz, cz, rz also always have the same sound, regardless of their place in the word. Unlike English, this saves a lot of time, which can be spent on learning other subjects instead of cramming spelling. 1. Olej to has nothing to do with oil. It literally mean piss on it. Regards.

[@milczar_]

@@wladyslawbukowski Actually, we have at least one silent letter. Polish "ch" = just "h" and we always spell it in same way. No exceptions. For example, "charakter" we say "harakter", "chałka" = "hałka", "puchar" = "puhar", "ucho" = "uho". SZ, CZ and RZ are quite easy. SZ (eng. SH), CZ (eng. CH). RZ and Ż, because we spell it in same way, are like the front letter of French name Jean. The "J" in front is our RZ/Ż.

[@wladyslawbukowski]

@@milczar_ Thank you for your lecture, but I must say that I completely disagree with it. There is no such concept as a "silent letter" in Polish grammar. "Ch" is not a "silent letter", it is simply a homonymous set of letters to distinguish it from the letter "h" in pronunciation. We pronounce "ch" firmly by forcing the air outlet closer to the middle part of the mouth, and the letter "h" closer to the throat. This rule is often not followed in colloquial speech, but it exists in this form in Polish grammar. The letter sets "sz, cz, rz" were created for certain grammatical reasons but they have nothing to do with the concept of a "silent letter". Best regards, Pole from Sydney.

[@milczar_]

@@wladyslawbukowski Perhaps I didn't express myself clearly enough. Letter C in the set of letters CH is silent. It doesn't exists when we say a word starting with CH. It's just H. I think this is a good tip for Sune and James. Regarding RZ, CZ and SZ - I never said they are silent letters. I just explained how to pronounce them.

[@johonybrawo7434]

"Olej to" dont mean "oil it" it means "piss on it" xD Its because pissing on something means that you dont care about it or dont respect it at all.

To complete the explanation: "oil it" would be "nasmaruj to", not even the similar word (you can use "naoliw to' though). But "olej to" is an idiom meaning "ignore it".

[@maciejkwiatkowski7558]

In Polish, if you say a double "o" in a different intonation, it may also have a completely different meaning than the one given in this video; namely, it may have the meaning of the famous saying: "Houston we have a problem".In Polish, there are combinations of two letters that originally have a different sound, to obtain a new sound. It is similar in English. For example, we have the letter combination "sz" which produces a sound similar to, for example, "sh" in the English word "shower" or "cz" like "ch" in the English word - charity. The more beautiful part of your duo, has great polish pronunciation.

[@charonboat6394]

[@Ernesiaa]

​​​@@7Askay7totally 😂 when I saw this explanaton in the video I was a bit confused and I had to speak it outloud and my finger automaticly started to point something in the air 😂

[@krzysztofbrak1566]

In Polish we don't have silent letters. We just have another sounds conected with litters. Check sound of letter ,,i" and ,,e" in Polish. So ,,j" in ,,Olej to!" is not silent, but pronounce differently.

[@cpt.flamer7184]

what about "c" in "ch"? ;p

[@KapitanWasTaken]

Well, the 'ch' is a digraph that, although it was made of two letters, makes one sound. Currently for most of the Poles the ch sound and the h sound sounds the same but that wasn't always the case. Apparently people can still tell the difference in the eastern parts.

[@MsNaatal]

Keep in mind that the man in the original video is American. So he doesn't pronounce all of the words perfectly. I'd say that is why some letters may be a bit lost. Especially in the ears of another foreigner. I must say, though, this couple does an awesome job saying Polish words!

[@lothariobazaroff3333]

3:50 While "O, rany!" or "Rany boskie!" are still widely used in Polish, their direct translation would be "Zounds!" (from "God's wounds!") which sounds archaic/obsolete/dated in English. 12:10 "Olej" can mean "an oil" (noun), but in the expression "Olej to!" it's an imperative of the verb "olać" (to dismiss, to ignore), meaning literally "to piss", coming from "lać" ("to pour down").

[@milczar_]

Yep. We also have two variants of "o, o" 6:23 , depending on the context: o, o = 'oh no' or 'oops' and o, o = 'that's it' , 'almost there'. 8:00 "Śmiało" is just an encouraging. When you ask someone in Polish "can I come in?" (czy mogę wejść?) you may receive an answer "śmiało" (sure, come in). Or in case when you are shy before you do anything and someone notices it, he may tell you "śmiało" ('don't be shy', 'feel free' or something like that). Of course, the examples in this guy's video are also good. Actually, "śmiało" is the opposite of a words "nieśmiały", "nieśmiała", "nieśmiało" which refers to shyness. 9:00 "i fru" is from "fruwać" (to fly), so "i fru" means more like 'and it flew away' or even 'and it's gone'. Let's say you hold money in your hand and the wind snatches it away, then in bitterness you can say "i fru" (and it's gone). In other context you can say "i fru" while you are playing with kids like you grab them high and pretending to fly and then you may say "i frrrruuuuuu!" (we're flyiiiiiiiiiing!).

[@sylwiaratajczyk8534]

No when you make a bad investment that leaves you skint you’ll rather say popłynąłem ( I have swum) not poleciałem (I have flown)

[@MariuszWodarczyk]

The closest one to "O, rany!" would be "Gadzooks!" or God's hooks, referring to the nails of Crucifixion.

[@Vampyr787]

Here are few things about "Siema". It is short from "Jak się masz?" but it's used very differently. "Siema" is used just as a greeting like english "What's up", "Howdy", "How are ya?" but the long form "Jak się masz?" isn't used as a greeting, it is an actual question to know how the person is. If you ask a polish person this they will tell you how they actually are and might start complaining about stuff. Another thing about "Siema" is that it is a very informal way of greeting people like it's english counter parts. So if you go to Poland don't use it much with starngers becauase it might come off as rude

[@ML-rf2bh]

"siema" has two different meanings. First - as Vampyr787 wrote earlier but these apply to 95% to his/her friends. Second - it is used when we or someone leaving now or very soon. In English - "see ya" or less "bye" or "take care".

[@krzysztofprusakowski3386]

"Siema" is just "hi". It is not "How are you". Sometimes used as "goodbye".

[@mikezabo3134]

[@drzewowit]

"Olej to" should be literally translated as: Pee on it.

[@Patrycja149]

It indeed is from "Pee on it", and means "Don't even bother about this" not quite "Don't worry about it" ( Nie przejmuj [pʃeɪmuj] się tym)

[@fox570808]

[@jarow6056]

The Lady pronounce single polish words 100% perfect in some moments :) For sure better than dude from the vlog. I am impressed with the accent. I start to subscribe because I see they start to care. Greatings for you two!

[@lehcyfer]

O!O! can have many translations, depending on the situation and - most important - pronunciation. You were saying O/,O\ (rising and falling like a wave) - this translates to oops! or "Look what happened, look what we got here!" To say it properly (in the proposed meaning "yes, right here!") you have to say it completely flat (neither rising nor falling) and short - like a shout out: "O!" - one is enough, but many people repeat it to put more pressure on it - O!O!, O!O!O! and even O!O!O!O!O!O!, pointing with finger and nodding head with each O! :)

[@allespomidores2845]

I'm using 5 x O! 😅 ...but I think those O! expression is a variation of "O! to, to, to, to.....!" (meaning = "Oh! This (one), this (one), this (one), this (one)....!", i.e. "Oh! This, this, this, this....!"👈) That's what my grandpa use to say 🧐

[@maciejwyzgowski]

That's exactly right! In ugly words - Piss on it, meaning ignore it.

[@vitziu]

We also use a bit more harsh "szczaj na to/nich" - translates directly to "piss on it/them" but means ignore it/them.

[@sowasiedlce]

Wtf. This girl got to have polish ancestry 'cos her pronunciation is on point :o

[@marekszzz]

10:48 Every single letter should be pronounced in this case. SZ is like english SH. My tip is - you should repeat words after native polish speaker. 👍

[@TheTigerus]

basically if you don't pronounce every letter in polish word, you are speaking that word wrong

[@faberadrian]

Yup, that’s the tea. We have some sounds coded in two letter bits. SZ, RZ, CZ, CH. And as mentoioned by Tigerus, we pronounce all of our letters. We just use different phonetics :)

[@dawidmorsi5480]

[@arturnowak3481]

Bardzo ładnie mówi Pani po Polsku 😘

[@wPeniSwiadomy]

In Polish, all letters are pronounced. It's just that there are collections of letters that create different sounds. The letters "S" and "Z" separately sound completely different from "SZ". Our language lacks letters in the Latin alphabet, so we had to get by somehow.

Hello. I rarely write under videos, but I couldn't resist. I am impressed by your pronunciation in PL, considering that you have never encountered it before. Your accent is really very close to Polish. If you started learning Polish, I think (I am convinced) you would speak very well, and most importantly, all Poles would understand you without any problems, which is not as easy as learning Polish for a foreigner. Greetings from Poland and we highly recommend visiting not one but several places in Poland because it is a truly beautiful country.

[@brakpseudonimu236]

"Coś" means "something", but in this case it's "co" (what) and ś is a suffix moved from some verb, like "Co ty zrobiłeś?" = "Coś ty zrobił?" (what have you done). I have no idea, what the original verb was, though. "No co ty?" also works.

[@ssnowak1]

I think it comes from „no co ty mówisz?"

[@MaraMara89]

I do think that came exactly from "Co ty zrobiłeś?!" -> coś Ty zrobił -> no coś Ty (as: I can't believe you have done that)

[@enriqueiglo2]

It might also come from "Co ty powiedziałeś?" (What have you just said?)

[@marcink2186]

@BB.Beyond.Borders - I've a lot of fun watching the video as it's been really interesting to see how certain phrases may seem peculiar for the people who don't speak Polish. With regards to the pronounciation of the letters, (except for a few exceptions) we tend to pronounce all of them but similarily to Afrikaans, you may found more sounds than available letters so we've developed a few rules to overcome it. To illustrate, (i) in Afrikaans you say 'Goeie More' as in good morning where the combination of 'oe' becomes another sound. In Polish, the combination of 'sz' indicates another sound which is neitehr 's', nor 'z'. (ii) 'j' isn't silent in 'olej'. The sound is there but you may not hear it well. If you were to ask a native speaker of English whether they could hear a difference between 'cat' and 'cut' the would most probably said yes (there's that joke that doesn't make sense that 'you cross the ocean on a sheep' unless you are aware that for a lot of students a 'ship' and a 'sheep' sound the same) With regards to 'olej to'. Love Me Poland confused the nominative case of the noun 'olej' (oil) with the imperative form ('olej') of verb 'olewać' ('to treat lightly' but some people would say 'to piss on sth' but this word, although informal isn't offensive. It may also mean 'to blow sth/sb off' / 'to ignore' / 'to ditch' / 'to ghost' / 'leave it')

"o,o" jest natomiast używane do wyrażenia zaskoczenia np.: "o,o... to nie powinno się wydarzyć". Oczywiście każde wyrażenie można zastąpić wulgarnym "Kurrrrr..." .

[@lamerekeklerek]

W swoim życiu słyszałem chyba tylko raz aby ktoś użył "o" w tym znaczeniu z tym, że jeszcze inaczej. To było bardziej wiele "o" i im bliżej finalnej pozycji tym rosła częstotliwość wypowiadanych "o" (troche jak w czujnikach parkowania), a na końcu było "stop, no i tak zostaw, jest dobrze".

[@tobiks]

What’s interesting is, that „Olej to” does not come from „olej” as an oil, but it is one of the cases for word „olać” - which is „to ignore”, but the world comes more from the „lać / olać” which is „to pour”. Polish natives would not think about oil on this case, but more about pouring something on something ;)

Actually, you are watching a video made by an American who lives and works in Czestochowa. I have actually been to his school in Czestochowa but have never met him in person. However, whilst there, I was told by one of his Polish teachers of English that he only speaks a little bit of Polish. As it is, he runs an English language school called Base. So, beware of your pronunciation if you are using him as a model. His school is located only a few minutes from the museum in Czestochowa.

Need to remember those expressions are usually used in non-formal situations... You were curious about polish DWUZNAKI (two or three letters read as one sound): SZ, CZ, DZ, DŻ, DŹ (sometimes written as: DZI). Same is in French: AU, EU, AUX (spoken as a sound: O)...

Siema is more like "howdy". ;) Native here if so. "O, o!" - this saying can be described as he told - "Right there", but we still use it as many other functions like "You got my point" (ex when You forget a word, and someone reminds it to You knowing what You wanted to say) , or when we react by saying this to some inevitable and not exactly good situations (for ex when You are going to tip over on a swing and theres nothing You can do about it now): "Ah oh!". Main difference for knowing exacly what "O, o!" we meant lays in voice modulation.

"Szerokiej drogi", There is a story according to which the question of a rally driver what to wish him and he answered so. And that's how it stayed.

[@krzysztofsobon1317]

O-o is like oh no. But O! o! Is like its ok!, like that!

[@xarderaz9893]

5. Śmiało! is used when you want to encourage somebody to continue their activities in the actual moment that can be problematic for them. Often used in parking lots and supermarkets.

Have you been to Threecity? Gdansk-Sopot-Gdynia (the latter is my home place ♥) hold this name. One is over 1000 yrs old. The another not 100 yet and a few years ago was called the most demanding and popular city for Polish people! Sopot is a little one in the middle of the other two, but have a characteristic hotel standing almost...on the beach :) You will love for them.

Hi 😊I'm from Poland and my husband is from England 😂I can see a lot of cultural differences, and of course the language.and your pronounced make me so happy thanks for showing Poland from true side ,because now its a lot of political attack to words Poland

[@grall1302]

Sune you have amazing Slavic accent. 😮

[@katarzynazdrojewska4233]

Your Polish is getting really good! Have fun in Wrocław :) PS. No, actually English has those silent letters - vowel reductions in unstressed syllables and the schwa... But if someone talks very fast in any given language and doesn't care if they speak well they may shorten or unstress some sounds so you barely hear them. In Polish when you learn the letters and of course some additional digraphs and rules it will work everywhere, and there's no way a letter is pronounced in ten different ways :P No "ghoti" in Polish :) One of the most common would be to remember "sz" is almost always "sh" as in "sheet" and "cz" is almost always like "ch" in "checkers" ;)

[@krzysztofglowacki7400]

Guys, Great job, good vibes. Keep up great job, I'll consider subscribing :) Number 7 You are getting wrong. "O, O" In this meaning Is used as expression shortened from "oto, to" meaning "yes!, great job, you're doing exactly what I'm thinking" Don't worry, we have many more such expressions with just few letters, different to regions and peoples. With very confusing meaning and writing 😅

[@wladers39]

There are no silent letters in Polish, just a co-occurrnece of two letters that are read as one sound, for example: sz=sh like szok=shock, cz=ch like inczek=check, and a few more

[@DariuszZygmunt]

There is two meaning of "o, o!" depend on pronunciation. If you say short 'o, o!' on the same level it will be "good, OK", but if you pronounce it "o, ooo" with first "o" short and high and second longer and low it will be "oops, something went wrong" ;) Sune you have a great intuition how to pronounce polish words, the first you try is every time the best.

[@wladers39]

She sounds really, really good

[@lysysoma]

Sorry mates i dont know ur names yet, im new to ur content, but the girl's polish language is verrry verry good as for beginner (also the context she use the expressions is nice!), great job guys! ill keep with ya to check the passion for my country and the progress. :) * in polish "olej" means "oil" as a noun, as a verb "olać" means simply "piss on" but its not that vulgar in poland as in english language XD

[@rdkwi4305]

Guys, I live in US for 30 years, sometimes I try to teach my American friends some words in Polish and they suck , completely suck in comparison to you. You are doing great! Have a nice trip to Wroclaw. And, with one day delay, best wishes on the blond lady on the Woman's Day. It is big day in Poland for all women. A you, are really beautiful. Good luck in Wroclaw. Bye

[@mromanowicz72]

Silent letters in polish changing pronounciation of letter. i.e. in english c+h and s+h is like polish c+z and s+z. It sounds exactly the same in both languages (maybe in english a bit softer :))

[@forexscalping_pl]

When you will be in Wroclaw visit Książ Castle. especially dusring the night.

[@rudakitka6929]

I don't understand why I love it so much ( I'm Pole).

[@mudia80]

"Olej to" IMHO comes from "lać" common for urinate. IOW it's like "is not even worth to piss on it" ;)

[@xerra1]

10:53 It's actually completely opposite. Every letter means something. But sometimes they connect and create some different letters.

[@mudia80]

About that double letters, almost allvays c&z, s&z are spoken as one sound. The same goes for c&h but the sound is exacly like "h" alone - some historical stuff when "ch" and "h" were pronounced differently but now it unified. The sames goes for "u" and "ó" and "rz" and "ż". It's pain in the ass in schools, cause you have to remember to use proper form but it undistinguisabe in pronuncieation today :/

[@yakoobski]

I wish you 'szerokiej drogi' on your trip to Wrocław.

[@lordplenty]

"Szerokiej Drogi" (wide rode) = archaic meaning of "fare-thee-well" (~good journey) = bon voyage. "Olej to" (from "lać"-"polej", ~to pour) = imperative "take a piss on it". In English there is a phrasal "Taking the piss". This is the same, but can be used to both encourage and discourage the behaviour. "O! o! o!" this is just an exclamation meaning agreement or approval. Think of it the same way as with "uh huh! uh huh!".

[@kamilsocha2465]

Musisz mieć jakieś Polskie korzenie skoro twoja wymowa brzmi tak realistycznie jak byś się urodziła Polką :) powodzenia miło was się ogląda :)

[@uzihuzar2235]

just go to poland then i subscribe stil love the vids

[@allespomidores2845]

I'm using 5 x O! 😅 ...but I think those O! expression is a variation of "O! to, to, to, to.....!" (meaning = "Oh! This (one), this (one), this (one), this (one)....!", i.e. "Oh! This, this, this, this....!"👈) That's what my grandpa use to say 🧐

[@allespomidores2845]

Btw. in Polish for "O! O!" you need to make the intonation right to deliver your message, for either "This is correct" or "We have a problem".

This guy is a language teacher, and he's good at it.

[@michaelmckelvey5122]

He is a language teacher of English, not Polish.

[@wPeniSwiadomy]

@@michaelmckelvey5122 But he lives in Poland. As a teacher, he knows how to teach. It doesn't matter what language.

[@tomaszkempisty3722]

Hi there again!) On ku**a. As much as it is a popular "comma" in a sentence... it is still a swear word. So use it accordingly)

[@piotrsodel3077]

Exactly. using it is rude and there are many other emotional interjections. Besides, it has so many meanings that it could certainly be confusing to someone from a different culture.

[@agnieszkamasalska9423]

“Olej to” has nothing to do with oil. It’s a imperative form of the verb “lać”that means “to pour” In this case it's about peeing on something you don't like, and that means just “don't worry about it”
