"It means executioner. it does not mean 'cat.'" This cracked me up. Your channel is one of the best language channels out there.
Thx, Bal! I'm glad you liked the vocabulary!
There is a metal band of the same name, and I used to think it's a funny name for a metal band. Not it makes sense.
Cat in polish is 'kot'
KAT is one of the Greatest Polish Heavy metal bands in the history of Poland, and The world, and ever.
I'm Taiwanese and just start to learn Polish this semester in my uni! Glad that I click through all the way and get here eventually:)) wish I could improve soon after these great serves of videos😃
Thank you! Good luck with your Polish!
And how is you Polish? :P
How is your polish now?
I have just come across your channel, thank you I have recently moved to Poland, working hard to learn polish!
I have just downloaded your app, also very helpful!
Your English is very good :). I am looking forward for the next video
Hey Hằng. Good to hear. Would you like to watch a video on any other topic? Polish case system? Grammar? Tenses?
amogas
So clear, so efficient, so well done in so many ways. Dziękuję!
Hello all! Let me know if you'd like to watch anything beside pronunciation. I am open to make any videos to help you out ;). Polish case system, tenses, grammar, word etymology etc.
How about a video on "minimum pairs"? I think more pronunciation videos would be great. I need stuff like "rz" is pronounced like the "s" in pleasure in the beginning and middle of words, but like "sh" in ship at the end of words (or at least that's what I read).
The fact that you are a native speaker is soooooo very helpful.
That's a great topic, definitely lands on my backlog.
Hello! @@nickwhite7638 I am working hard on improving the app and I do want to start adding articles regularly!
Loved it💖🌷 exactly the same technique I am using 👍👍👍🌷
English is my native language. I only speak a little Polish. I use Google Translate and Duolingo to learn Polish.
I would be grateful for a video on "cognates", which will jumpstart my Polish vocabulary.
I would also like a video on how you learn languages.
Watiching from Indai very helpful vedio //🙏🙏🙏thanks
What an amazing and helpful video!!! Thank you :)
Thank you very much. This is very useful!
This was super helpful, thank you so much!!
No problem, I'm glad you liked it.
hi! in the Greek language "a" "e" "I" "o" "u" and "ie" sound the same as in Polish. So good for me!
Sounds great!
Who’s polish like if you are :3 Bo ja jestem Polska
@Kuba R Gdyby prawidłowo odmienił byłoby "jestem polski", więc jeszcze wyraz by się przydało odpowiedni dobrać :D
@jraszczykxd A co jeśli identyfikuje się jako nasz kraj? Masz z tym jakiś problem? Hmm?
awesome lesson on the Polish alphabet
will try that apps. thanks for the share. i just started learing polish last week. 🤙
Thank you i'm wating for next vido :)
Best teacher
I like it. I'm a beginner and its easier for me to pronouce than French and Norwegian etc.
Cool!
ERES UN CRACK!!!
Great explanation. :) I'm impressed. :) Tylko malutka uwaga - może warto by dodać, że "you" to "ty" w liczbie pojedynczej, bo dla ludzi anglojęzycznych to wcale nie jest takie oczywiste.
anglojęZYCZNYCH wtf xD
@@muratopozturk5211 yes
Cat is an executioner
Can you make a video with all letter and a polish text and tell us how to pronounce in different case ? 🤔
kot is pronounced similar to the English word caught, and the y is in between English "it" and English "took", but it is closest to the vowel in "it", it is the same vowel as the reduced Portuguese e vowel, it is a rare vowel and the only language I can think of that differentiates the two vowels is Russian, which is probably the hardest of the European languages. The easy part about Polish is that the 8 vowels can only make 1 sound each, so you don't have to worry about open, closed or reduced vowels
I would say polish 'u' is closer to the 'oo' in moo. As I'm sure you know, there are two pronunciations for 'oo' in english and both cook and took have the same sound as the 'u' in full, which is not the same as the polish 'u'. In other words, the polish 'u' is the same sound as 'ū' which is taught in english as a long u. Opposed to a short u which sounds like the 'u' in up.
I did a search for your app and it didn't come out as "inWords" but rather as "tiengos pl" . However, when I clicked on "sign in with Facebook" it asked me if I was me (and I was), but then did nothing else. Not sure if your app is working.
Also, I LOVED this video, but I don't see anything else by you. I am a new Polish learner.
update: the tiengos app works in Google play, but not Ipad. Additionally, I couldn't get into it via FB, but through Google. It's a bit advanced for me, but from what I see so far, I LOVE it!
Hello B Emerson! You are righ. I changed the name to Tiengos. I am sorry that the app does not work for you. I could help you but we would have to talk outside CZcams. Could you write to me at contact.tiengos@gmail.com? Regarding the videos - that's true. I have been very busy recently. But I do plan to make new ones. Is there any topic that interests you?
Oooh. It's great it works. I don't have any iPad to check it :/. I will try to figure it out. Thank you!
email sent :)
In Macedonia we have a word така (taka) which can be translated as "so". It can sometimes be used as yes but for yes we mostly use да (da).
so, do you use Cyrillic?
@@pianistanton1 да
In Macedonia or in North Macedonia? :P Greetings from Poland :)
I am russian and I see there is a lot of similarities between our languages, but polish has more kind of "sh" sounds than russian :)
Правильно, оба языки очень похоже. Польская фонетика чуть чуть по богаче.
@@Tiengos да и орфография мне кажется сложнее
i am polish too ^-^ but i cant write polish but i can talk polish and only bit read in polish but i still need to learn and i am teaching my friend to talk polish
Cool Amelia. Good luck!
Thanks :)
if you want i can teach you also
I find fascinating that basically all the vogals are pronounced the same as portuguese.
Yes, Portuguese and Polish have quite a bit in common!
No offense, but the English word "sin" and the Polish word "syn" are pronounced in a similar, but not exactly the same way. "y" is a more centralized vowel than the short English "i" sound
Does your statement mean that polish "y" is slightly closer to a polish "e" when compared with the english "short i" ?
I understand your reasoning for word origin from PL 'mebel' but it may also have root from German 'Möbel', which means furniture and not mobil. There are many German words in Polish now. I think of other example 'Farbe' meaning color in German and 'farbować/ufarbować' meaning to color in polish. I simply see this from German background but excellent teaching.
The complexity of language is so interesting! Your knowledge and reply is also most impressive, fantastic!
O yes, it's incredible to witness how Polish and other European languages are intertwined with each other.
So nice league thanks
Thanks Georg! What I meant is that "mebel" comes indirectly from Latin. In this particular case it comes from German "Möbel" which comes from French "meuble" which comes from Latin "mōbilis". Have a look at en.wiktionary.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bel#Etymology
But I get your point. There is plethora of Polish words of German origin. It deserves its own video!
ty = Y❤️U
Before studying Polish, I had my cellphone programmed to replace “ty” with “Thank you” in text messages.
Now I have to use “tx” as my shortcut.
It makes me think of the new “Latinx” word. It is the genderless way of referring to men AND women of Latin heritage.🤣
Anyway, tx for your videos!
OMG I HAPPY TO LEARN POLSKA CUZ MY PARENTS ARE FOR POLAND AND I BEGGED THEN FOR DAYS TO LEARNED
How's the learning going?
What about cursive?
Actually Polish "y" is not the same as English "i", for example PL. "byt" is pronounced /bɨt/ and ENG. "but" is /bɪt/. So not exactly the same but close anyway so it would be no problem if an English speaker would pronounce "y" as "i".
What’s the difference between u and ó
I’m polish but can even wright in it 😅
is the app still available on google play please?
No, but you can enter here: www.tiengos.com It works on all devices: iPhone, Android and desktop
I can't find "Inwords pl: learn polish" on the google playstore did you take it down or changed the name?
It's now called "Tiengos"

Very good English! Is your native language Polish or Vietnamese? Anyway, Polish language is difficult but not impossible to learn... When it comes to grammar, among all the Slavic languages, Czech is the most difficult. Plus stressed syllables are always predictable in Polish (unlike Russian, Ukrainian, and Bulgarian). However, concerning Polish pronounciation, I never know if the letter ę must be nasalized if placed at the end of a word. For exemple: Ja lubię kawę / Ja lubię Polskę (*I like coffee / *I like Poland).
Hello Kris Klr. Thx for your comment. I totally agree with your point about the stress of Polish words. I find this Russian unpredictability to be the one of the biggest hindrances when learning it. Your Polish must be very good if you ask yourself whether the 'ę' should be nasalized or not at the end of a word. I made this video in which I explain the difference between 'e/ę' and 'o/ą': czcams.com/video/mcQERrqxClM/video.html . I will try to tackle your doubt in future videos. Regarding your other question, Polish is my only native language. What's about you? Where are you from and how long have you been learning Polish?
+Tiengos Jestem z Paryża (Francja). Kocham Polskę i język polski ale nie mówię dobrze po polsku...
I jak Ci idzie z nauką polskiego? :)
Hey Kris, thanks. My only native Language is Polish. I don't know any Czech, but you kind of tackle the point that I totally agree with, that is: "Why Polish is the most difficult language and not others like Russian, Czech, etc". You're right, comparing to Russian (which I struggle to learn), the predictability of stress syllable in Polish makes it so easy! Regarding the ę sound, it depends, there are some people who nasalize it, others don't. I personally, think I nasalize it most of the time.

No "X" so how do you translate XXX or X-ray or Xxxtentacion??? I'm just curious
Yes, X technically doesn't exist in our alhpabet, but that doesn't mean we can't pronounce it. X-ray is a loan word so it does retain it's structure, it's just slightly bastardised to fit our language. It would be something like "eeks-rei". We pronounce X like I just showed you, "eeks".
@@sharavy6851 thanks. I suspected that would be how it's done but I just wanted to be sure.
Witam w polskim języku !
Polish is my fourth language that I am currently learning. I was studying Chinese but the bopomofo / pinyin was throwing me off
Ủng hộ nhiệt tình, video học tiếng BL ít quá !
Cảm ơn bạn!
You look a bit Asia or Chinese. But good vid. I look at Polish words and always think of the times at Scrabble when I am stuck with too many vowels or impossible consonants, haha. Like Juve goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny's name.
I think Polish work Mebel comes from German Möbel which come from latin.
That's right, I simplified it in the video. But you can see my answer to one of the comments!
Oczywiście ponieważ w języku polskim jest dużo wyrazów zapożyczonych z języków sąsiadów. Szczególnie było to słychać na pograniczach.
kat, nice now i know how to say cat, no bro it's an executioner xD
Polish is not the hardest language or even the hardest. It is actually quite easy.
That's a spirit! I do agree though, it's less difficult than many people think!
@ola cola it depends on your native language, as a Ukrainian I find it really a piece of cake in terms of reading and listening
@ola cola yes, but English writing system drives me mad, in most cases you just need to memorize how a word is written
@@pianistanton1 Anglicy sami muszą sprawdzać jak się pisze i wymawia niektóre wyrazy. W Polskim nie jest aż tak trudno. Dodatkowo w Wielkiej Brytanii jest dużo lokalnych dialektów i trzeba się trochę osłuchać już będąc na miejscu. Jadać do USA także trzeba uważać na inne znaczenie pewnych wyrazów.
Holly crap I didn't expect an Asian in this video :D Have you been brought up in Poland?
Haha, a good one! Yes, lived in Poland until I was 24, so don't worry, my pronunciation should be quite Polish!
These have resemblances or similarities in Tagalog (Filipino) language my native tongue. The cognates are almost the same as it is when you write letter-by-letter. I agreed with your statement it's not hard to learn.
5:05 this sound is definitely not English i in bit. English bit and Polish byt sound differently, isn't it? This sound is something between English i in bit and a in words like about and abroad (in the begining).
Hello P Lrc, sure they're not the same. Of course, the English bit and Polish byt do sound differently, especially if one compares the 'bit' pronounced in American accent. But I would still argue that the most similar to Polish 'y' you can get is the 'i' in English 'big' or 'bit'. Anyway, is there any topic you would like me to create more videos on?
Thank you a lot 😄 your English is awesome by the way, and thanks for mentioning that Arabic is hard 😂😂😂😂😂 xD it's my mother language ^^
No problem. Regarding the arabic, oh dear, it is!
Because = poniewaz? And this = jest???
Because = ponieważ/bo, jest=is/there is. This is=to jest. It's a bit complicated. Try to not translate these to much. See their usages.
I see! Yeah it’s confusing when trying not to think in English sometimes haha
Ty zapomniałeś o : dż dź ń rz sz cz
(You forgot about)
Im from poland
Hey, they are introduced in the next videos. But yeah, "ń" should have been added to this one.
Mebel looks like meubel in Dutch, same meaning. Pretty sure at least the Dutch one comes from French "meuble"
In this particular case it comes from German "Möbel" which comes from French "meuble" which comes from Latin "mōbilis". Have a look at en.wiktionary.org/wiki/M%C3%B6bel#Etymology
@@Tiengos wow! Did it come into Polish from German or into Dutch from German? I don't speak Polish, but compared to Russian I've heard that it has quite a lot of German lonewords
@@isolatiecellencomplexdevri2632 The dutch meubel comes from old French which derives from Latin.
@@Tiengos ah that makes sense, we took a lot from French
zapomniałeś o "ń"
Crazy
I'm Polish and I'm just realising that this language is so confusing ..... wtf ?!
Niczym moja nauczycielka od polskiego
So the vowels in polish are like Spanish sounds exempt y it’s not a vowel.
Ohh
''i'' in 'big' is not the same as 'y'.
Hello Kacper, you're right, it's certainly not the same. But this is probably the closest it can get for an English native speaker.
I would say it's closer to English a in words like about and abroad (in the begining) :) But of course an English native speaker may it pronounce like i in bit and will be understood.
