Hi there again

Sorry for a delay, but I finally have a time to catch up on reading the forum.

I'll more than happy to assist you with your discovery of Polish (Poland as well).

I live in Debica, Podkarpackie voivodship (wojewodztwo Podkarpackie).

English is second of my biggest hobbies (the first being Pratchett books).

Huge thanks for a warm welcome.

Dominik,

thank you for coming here! Dziekuje ze oferujesz pomoc naszym czytelnikom.

I am glad you came here - you can also improve your English while our "Americans" would improve their Polish!

Jaga... I surprised myself by being able to actually read your message to Dominik:

"Dziekuje ze oferujesz pomoc naszym czytelnikom."
(Thank you for the offer to help with our
?reading?)

But have a question for you or Dominik about the word "czytelnikom" -- it's from the word "czytac"
meaning to read, correct? Other forms :

czytelnia -- library, reading room
chytelnik -- reader
czytelny -- ligible

So how do you actualy translate "czytelnikom?"

Sorry... just saw a "typo" ----

czytelny -- legible!

Mr. Cybulski,

thanks for partly answering my question. I still feel that Poles are afraid sometimes to admit that the history of many places in Poland is mixed! Gdansk was a very international town, Hanzeatic town and also was very connected with German culture. It still seems that Poles would... omit the word German - they would talk about famous people from Gdansk but they would be afraid to admit that they had any German roots!

We would not like and we do not like this to be done with our Eastern borders!

It's actually: Thank you that you offer help for our readers

All these words come from the word "czytać"
czytelnikom is the 3 case of czytelnicy also the plural form of czytelnik.

btw. czytelnia only means reading room, library is biblioteka in polish.

Mikolaj...dziekuje bardzo!

Lets renew our thread about Polish language. What happen to our helpers?

I was looking for help under the topic "Frank's song"... hopefully our helpers will return.
