  • 514 - Understanding the Word 'O'

    Welcome to the Learn Polish Podcast where we delve into the intricacies of the Polish language. In this episode, we dissect the meaning of the word 'O'. The word 'O' is versatile and dynamic in the Polish language, posing an interesting challenge to learners. Let's unravel its mysteries together. Primarily, 'O' translates to 'about' in English. We utilize it while talking about who or what we are thinking about, bringing to the forefront expressions like o kim myślisz or o czym myślisz, that translate to who are you thinking about or what are you thinking about respectively. Contrarily, it could also mean 'at' in English during certain contexts, particularly while inquiring about the time. Consequently, we come up with phrases such as, 'O której godzinie budzisz się?' This translates to, 'At what time do you wake up?'. Interestingly, 'O' is also used quite frequently when asking for something - 'I ask for your help' would be 'Proszę o pomoc' in Polish.

  • 511 - Understanding the Versatility of "Czy" in the Polish Language | Learn Polish Podcast - Episode 451

    In episode 451 of the Learn Polish Podcast, we delve into the fascinating complexities of Polish language, focusing on a single, powerful word— "Czy." We unpack its different meanings, usages, and contexts, providing a rich resource for both new and advanced students of the language. Throughout the episode, we discuss three main contexts in which "Czy" is used. First, it emulates the English language's question format— "Do you know?", "Do you like?", and "Do you have?". We provide a variety of examples, asking listeners, for instance, whether they "like reading in Polish?" or "know Poland?". Next, we discover "Czy" as a replacement for the English word "or", shedding light on options and choices in daily conversations. As a simple example, we pose the question of "tea or coffee?" in Polish as "Kawa czy herbata?". Similarly, the podcast takes learners through phrases like "Ciasto czy lody?" and "Ziemniaki czy frytki?", encouraging them to give their own examples. Finally, we explore "Czy" in use cases mirroring the English "if", lending a conditional layer to sentences. Phrases such as "Zobaczę, czy mam czas" ("I will see if I have time") serve to demonstrate this context, followed by interactive learning by forming new examples. This episode guarantees easy comprehension and practical learning of the Polish language. It is designed to add depth to the learning process and cultivate everyday conversational skills.
