      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.

      It's true... if only you had a chance to go through Polish alphabet first... just to match letters or clusters of letters with their sounds, it would be a piece of cake for you to read all Polish sentences with very good pronunciation. You need to know that there are no letters: x, v and q in Polish alphabet but there are letters: ą, ę, ś, ć, ń, ź, ó, ż - these are no accented letters but normal letters with their specyfic sound👍 clusters of letters which make one sound: cz, sz, rz dz, dż. When you know these sounds, you can read correctly whatever you want. It's like in Spanish... you see a letter and you pronounce it always the same. There are no silent letters in Polish, no words that start with "y" and all women names end with an "a" 😉

    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

      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.

      @@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".

    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.

    When it comes to Ó and U they are pronounced exactly the same nowadays. Basically the Ó sound got replaced with U sound. Ó used to sound like a very accented O (if that makes any sense. It's hard to descibe since I can't prononce that sound the way it used to be pronounced (even though I'm Polish haha).

      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.

    06:00 Assimilation. There's a stop consonant right after it, so the tongue gets ready for pronouncing it. It makes "n" sound before "t" or "d", and "’ŋ" (ng) sound before "k" or "g". The last one is not followed by any consonant, so it just decays into silence. Some people even don't pronounce it as nasalized at the end, just as a regular "e".

    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.
