Hm... When I was searching for various information for my famous essay I came across this website:

http://users.rcn.com/salski/No27Folder/Polish_cookery.htm

The description of the polish pronouncation, may in general show how those words should be spoken, but it made me laugh <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Some of them are so exotic <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
It may be a little bit helpful for you, to get the general idea <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

everybody does pronouncation (or pronunciation?) differently. It is so hard... at least for me to find a right Polish pronunciation and write it down to somebody who ask me for it!

Guys,

refering to hiding
thsi word has different meaning in Polish. For instance:

"Gdzie schowales ksiazke?"

which means "Where did you put the book?"

the direct translation... should be:

"Where did you HIDE the book?" even if the person did not reall "hide" the book, just put it away somewhere

LOL Dee,
Sometime you can really get cute. Yup you figured it out..That was sorta cruel of me to do that to you. But it made you think. I understand every word that you write.. I for one am really getting much better every day. I even notice Nancy useing a lot of letter perfect words in Polish. At this rate, it will not be long that these words become sentences.
We can consider ourselves lucky to have the new blood in here to lead the way.
I now know that the Polish eagle and Falcon are two different things..
I found out that a Skowroneczek is a Lark.
And a Slowik is a nightingale..

Yesterday i noticed a squirrel on my fence.. I tried to think what my Father called it..
WIEWIORKA ?? am I right?

Mikolaj,
Your name.. Is that the same as Michael, Michal.. Or is it another complete name.. It sounds a little Russian to me.
Also, I am having trouble locating Chlem on the Map of Poland..What is it close to..Is it close to Bialystok?

Jaga,
You say that schowales in Polish can have different meanings in English..You are sooo right.. I found this out in the toast that I gave on here.. My version was very innocent, until Blazej called my attention to how the words can be twisted to mean something else..
I can assure you that although I know many more.. After looking them over very carefully .. I decided to keep them to myself.
