Polish Language and Culture

dziadek

this is how you say today in polish:

dzisiaj

:PPP

well the most important benefit is you can speak Polish like a professional.

another is if you have a friend that speaks Polish then you guys could use it as a secret language :P

the last one is that if you fall in love with a Polish person and you want to talk to them-even if they speak your native language- they will be surprised of your knowledge.

other than that.. speaking Polish can just be a talent.

Kocham Cię (Pronounced koham cheoom)

YES

ciasto

dobra robota

Krishasba

He isn't.

There is no word "dand" in Polish. Maybe you mean "dandys" which is an old-fashioned word for a man concerned about his clothes and appearance. Or maybe "dąb" - an oak?

truskawka

it depends on what exactly you want to say..

if you tell somebody to jump, it's 'skacz!'

and if you mean infinitive, it's 'skakać'

In Polish there is no direct equivalent to "Happy birthday". Our birthday wishes usually starts with "Wszystkiego najlepszego w dniu urodzin", which exactly means "We wish you all the best with your birthday".

Same as in English: "Tornado" :)

"Do widzenia!"

Translated word for word it means "Until I see you again!" and that's a phrase you can say to anyone, formally, or informally. However, if you just want to say bye to a friend or someone close you can just say "Cześć!". This is a word which can be said as Hello OR Goodbye.

Nie poddawaj sie. [Nya poddavay shea]

It is the same :Teresa , you would say it something like Te-ra-sa

Ghetto = (polish) Getto.

A Polish kapo was a kapo (overseer of the prisoners in concentration camps) that was Polish.

Libchen means Sweetheart or Dear in English, so Polish translation should be Najdroższa, Ukochana. This word has many translation forms.

between 40,000 and 160,000 words.

Ah, that's not that simple, really. Polish Scientific Publishers PWN Grand Orthografic Dictionary (mine, unofficial translation of the title) has something about 150,000 entries - but you can't say that that's all there is to polish language.

Polish language has a lot of word creating potential, e.g. you can create lots of diminutives from a lot of words, and even though they most probably won't be covered by dictionaries, they will be commonly understood (even if thought of as awkward at times). There's also more to that. You could probably then make that number significantly higher.

On the other hand, if you won't count loanwords, special (technical) terms/jargon, slang, dialect specific words, diminutives, etc, etc, you can make that number significantly lower.

So, while the question may seem simple at first, there's no definite answer for it.
