Polish to Begin with: Lesson 2 (Valentine's Day)




Bloggy Polish show

Summary: In this Bloggy Polish podcast you will learn how to say "I love you" and other things useful on Valentine's Day. It's high time we all thought about a Valentine's Day card. So if you need one in Polish, here are some prompts as for the content: 1. Simple but the best: Kocham Cię (I love you. Note that the word "Cię" which means "you" starts with a capital "C". This is how we write all yous in Polish letters and it is meant to show respect for the addressee.) 2. Oldschool: Na górze róże, na dole fiołki, a my się kochamy jak dwa aniołki. (This is a very old nursery rhyme. Probably all Poles know it and will smile with nostalgy when they see it again. The English translation of it is: Roses above, violets below, and we love each other as two little angels. Well? Isn't that sweet?) 3. Lots of kisses: Setki buziaków, tysiące całusów i tyle uścisków, ile tylko chcesz tylko dla Ciebie - ode mnie (Hundreds of kisses, thousands of kisses and as many hugs as you only want, only for you - from me. It works in Polish as we have two different words for "kisses" - "buziak" & "całus".) Hope these help a bit.
