Think of the Polish word for yes - "tak" as having double meaning.
Depending on the context it sometimes means "like that/this way".
So for example we can say "nie tak", which literally translates to "no yes/not yes" but in this case it means "not like that".
"mamy tak" means "we have like this/we are like this".
"Nie ma za co" - its just "dont mention it". Its used when someone is thanking you for something and you say "nie ma za co" which is simply "there is nothing to be thankful for" because it was a minor thing or my duty etc.
I think 'nie ma za co' comes from 'nie ma za co dziękować' which can be translated as 'there's nothing to thank for'.
In Polish double negatives are something normal, just like 'ain' no...' in English
As a polish girl i need to agree with that
It's because the person says "dziękuję" (thank you), and you say there's nothing to thank for
I am polish and I've never heard "mamy tak"
same, i've never heard of it either
@@koza9993PLmust be a Kraków thing..
@@Dreju78 funny cuz im from Cracow 🤣🤣🤣

Perhaps she was thinking of "mamy to" - "we have got it" as an agreement after disscussion of selecting tasks.
4:12 ok so this one is like a short form of "there's nothing what you should be thankful for" - there's not for what
I guess that "Czujesz bluesa?" - "Do you feel blues?" - can confuse the hell out of English speakers. It's not about asking if a person is sad, but it's "Do you get the vibe?"
Idk i wolud translate "Nie ma za co" to "Your welcome" and i never heard about "Mamy tak" only "Tak mamy (for example) mąke" which means "Yes we have flour" Also i would transle "Nigdy nie" to "Never ever" and "Myśleć o niebieskich migdałach" has same meaning as "Having head in the clouds"
może chodziło o mamy to
@@charko4191 Wtedy byłoby najprościej jak może być to "Mamy to" tłumaczy się po prostu jako "We got it"
@@Wielebny no racja
she should add ‘muchy w nosie’ 😂
I guess "być nie w sosie" "not be in sauce" - comes from the fact that food without sauce taste bland and dull, and that's how you feel.
Quick polish lesson for an english speaking person (how things are written differently in Polish than in English, but they have more or less the same sound as in English):
Dżdżownica (earthworm) looks really f-ed up, does it? :) But its actually really easy to pronounce it for an English speaker if you know how.

The "G's" ("Dż") are spoken like you would George. Double "Dż" is just like you would stutter George. Btw George would be written in Polish: Dżordż
Your "V" equals our "W"
Your "tz" (like in the surname Getz) equals our "C"
Now you can flawlessly pronounce one of our most insane looking words.
Other sounds:
Your "sh" sound is our "sz"
The "tch" sound you make in the word "match" is our "cz"
Your "w" (like for example in "with") is more or less our "Ł" sound.
Your "H" is "H" or "CH" (no difference)
Your "i" sound from the word "snitch" is our "Y" sound.
Your "G" from the word "goal" is our "G"
The only sounds you dont have in English are "Ś", "Ć", "Ź", "Ż", "Ą" and "Ę" , but you can pronounce them like "S", "TZ", "Z", "Z", "A", "E" and everyone will understand you.
Once you start reading a Polish text with this small cheat sheet and memorize it you will realize that its not even that hard
Nie ma za co in Bulgaria we say Niama Zashto 🤣
Try eating dry potatoes without sauce. They just don't go down as well! So when you're not in the sauce, you don't feel as good ^^' At least that's how I see it as a Pole myself~
UA-cam keeps removing my long comment with an explanation of how we use the words "no yes", and other. That's so frustrating :(
I probably should leave comment under her video but i guess there are enough people who answer it there.
1) Tak has other meaning besides "yes" and it is "this/that way" (abstract, not for directing path). So mamy tak could be translated something like "have it that way" which makes more sense.
2) "jako" is closer to "somehow" and tako is again pointing to the way it is. So its more like "somehow the way it is"
I myself dont like polish word "szczęscie" (dont have polish layout now). My problem is that it means both "hapiness" and "luck". The problem with this word is that they convey good things and situations you are using it are very similar, so i struggle to specify which meaning i mean (and sometime i do need to differentiate)
Like, i dont undertaand how to say "you are lucky" but make it clear so people womt think i say they are happy
I think "masz szczęście" rather quite clearly means "you are lucky" and not "you are happy". The later would be "jesteś szczęśliwy" if it's about inner feeling, or maybe "jesteś wesoły" or "wesoło ci" if it's about outward signs of happiness
@@KajetanWilk For me "masz szczęście" sounds as if we are talking about particular situation, like something good happened and i can say that someone "ma szczęście" but if i want to say that someone is lucky in a sense that it is his personal trait (like generally good things happen to him) somehow "masz szczęście" sounds wrong for me, even though it is probably correct. I guess it's because i think of luck as being part of the person, not something he possesses

Ty beep
Ku beep
Beeping swear
Honestly, the pronunciation sounds more like japanese then polish. :D
english word "obscure" dont exist in polish especially when you mean obscure superheroes or villains
Ta kobieta mówiła po polsku, czy japońsku?
Wspominała, że jeszcze się uczy, więc ma sporo amerykańskiego akcentu jak mówi po polsku~
@@DragonixaHome ,
Buhahaha,
Słyszałem wielokrotnie Amerykanów, którzy zaczynają się uczyć i starają się pierwszy raz w życiu powtarzać zasłyszane słowa.
European language xD what that really means? haha in Europe is so many...
Lol, im Polish and this lady doesnt have a clue about Polish language
Watch something about the Polish Hussars!1!!
I'm sorry, but if you are an English speaker you will probably never understand Polish, no matter how hard you try 😂
I am serb and your language is weird.Even for myselfe who is south slav.
I am ukrainian and your language is weird. Even though I understand most of it
@@maksym_loshyshI'm polish and I think both our languages can be weird sometimes. But I like your language, so it's good.
