    (Full disclosure: if you upgrade to a paid plan, Langfocus receives a small referral fee. But if I didn't like it, I wouldn't recommend it, and the free account is pretty good on its own!)
    *** A couple of notes about this video. In the video I said that Polish is the most linguistically homogeneous country in Europe, as it is reported in some sources. But there are other countries including Hungary and Greece that may be more linguistically homogeneous (Hungary at 98.9%, and Greece at 99%). I looked at some documents from the Polish Central Statistics Office and got these stats: 96.2% of people in Poland use only Polish at home. Another 2% use both Polish and another language at home, making it 98.2%. And if we include speakers of Silesian who only speak Silesian at home, it's 98.5%. So it's among the most homogeneous, but it doesn't seem to be #1.
    Another thing, in the video I said that Z is the most common letter in Polish, but it's only the most common consonant. There are several vowels that occur more frequently than any consonant.
    There's a typo @12:00 - the singular dative of matka is matce, not matke.
    @12:14 - the masculine personal plural nominative of "młody" is "młodzi", not "młodi".
    And

      Although in 12:14 "młodi" as "młodzi" in the masculine personal plural nominative (which is used also as "młody" in the masculine personal singular nominative) is not a typo in Poland, because it's very correct Kashubian, which in Poland is not a foreign language :)

      Another curious feature of Polish is that it's got... five genders! Yes, there are three masculine genders, feminine and neuter. The masculine genders, human, animate, and inanimate, differ subtly, but they differ nevertheless. This is best seen when declining the nouns in combination with adjectives.
      How I ever managed to master the language is beyond me. Today, I find it fantastically complicated.

    When I began learning Polish in 2008, the grammar was incomprehensible for me since I am an American, native English speaker. Fast-forward to 2023 and there are people from all corners of the world moving here and the methods of teaching Polish as a second language have drastically improved! My advice to anyone living in Poland is to try to speak as much as possible and never get intimidated. Most Poles are happy that you at least try! Krok po kroku idziemy do przodu!

      @@bartekbartek5603 Funny. Danish is as hard or harder than Polish, but when foreigners try to learn it they don't stand a chance because we will automatically switch to English if their Danish is hard to understand. Which is the case unless they're very good at it. One annoying feature of Danish is that besides having three more vowels than English in the alphabet (æ,ø and å) every vowel has at least three different pronunciations, and if people get them wrong it's borderline impossible to decipher what they're saying. If they also mess syllable emphasis (which can be VERY subtle phonetically but has a huge influence on intention/context/mood/humor) it can take several tries to understand them... which just makes English SO much easier for everyone involved even if their English is objectively as bad as their Danish.

    - odczytać (read to others on loud for example speach)
    - wyczytać (read on loud too but for example list of students)
    - wczytać (read with high precission, with special commitment)
    - przeczytać (when you gonna read something in the future)
    - rozczytać (read something hard to understand, for example ugly letters on paper)
    - sczytać (download a file)
    - poczytać (read something for fun, without commitment)
    - doczytać (read something back what we left before)

    Thanks to this, Polish is very rich and beautiful especially for books and poetry. Also you can create literally any new words you want and they will be understood. Best of luck to those who learn Polish 🙂 One thing from me is that thanks to cases and other grammar rules you mentioned, you can change word order in a sentence and it still means the same. Peter loves Kate. It's different to Kate loves Peter, or to Loves Peter Kate (incorrect in English), Peter Kate loves, etc. It either doesn't make sense or has opposite meaning. While in Polish, Piotr kocha Kasię, Kasię kocha Piotr, Kocha Kasię Piotr, Kasię Piotr Kocha, etc., they all mean exactly the same 😆

    • @bartomiejbonski6791
      @bartomiejbonski6791 Рік тому +2

      Yes, when we have 3 words SVO like: Peter loves Marry - technically all 3! = 6 permutations are correct, but in every of them we accentuate different things or every of them sounds different, although the meaning is the same.
      I will show you this example: Piotr kocha Marię == Peter loves Marry.
      Piotr - nominative
      kocha - 3rd person (he or she) singular present tense of the verb "kochać"
      Marię - dative (nominative is Maria)
      1// Piotr kocha Marię - classic, standard SVO.
      2// Piotr Marię kocha - we accent "to love" = he loves her, not hates or only likes. We know that Peter has someting to Marry, but what? This is love, oh!
      3// Kocha Piotr Marię - it sounds like a question: "Does Peter loves Marry?" = an inversion S and V, or we accent Marry: he loves Marry, not Monica or Jessica. We know that Peter loves somebody, but who is he or her? This is Marry, oh!
      4// Kocha Marię Piotr - it also sounds like a question: "Does Peter loves Marry?" = an inversion V and O, or we accent Peter - it is Peter, not Mark or Henry. We know that Marry is loved, but by who? This is Peter, oh!
      5// Marię Piotr kocha - this is like nr 2 - we accent "to love", but the next (second) accent is "Peter" - opposite to nr 2 when the second accent is for "Marry".
      6// Marię kocha Piotr - this is like nr 4/ - we accent "Peter", but the next (second) accent is "to love" - opposite to nr 4 when the second accent is for "Marry".
      As you can see, the most accentuated word is the last word, next the second from the end and so on.
      And this feature of Polish is valuable thing for accentuation certain word or words in the sentence, it is good thing for poetry or general speaking and writing.
      We can also add of these 6 permutations a question mark or exclamation mark at the end and all 3x6=18 sentences would be correct, for example:
      a// Piotr kocha Marię? = Czy Piotr kocha Marię? == Does Peter loves Marry? - standard question.
      b// Marię kocha Piotr! == Peter loves Marry! - he said angrily.
      and so on...
      You can have 18 sentences.
      When it comes to frequency in normal everyday speaking or writing, I would define these 6 permutations like this:
      1// Piotr kocha Marię - standard SVO, neutral, normal sentence, accent on Maria.
      2// Piotr Marię kocha - quite solemnly, wow, this is love! Accent on Maria = SHE is loved!
      3// Kocha Piotr Marię - in 90% sounds like question accenting Maria, as a claim quite strange or it sounds like poetry.
      4// Kocha Marię Piotr - in 90% sounds like question accenting Piotr, as a claim quite strange or it sounds like poetry.
      5// Marię Piotr kocha - quite solemnly, wow, this is love! Accent on Piotr = this is HIM!
      6// Marię kocha Piotr - quite normal, neutral, but accent on Piotr, not Maria like in 1.
      Peter loves Marry == Piotr (nominative) kocha Marię (dative).
      Marry loves Peter == Maria (nominative) kocha Piotra (dative).

    For me, one of the most interesting feature of Polish is that the grammar allows us to express our attitude towards magical or mythical characters. For example the word: Anioły / Aniołowie.
    They both stand for "Angels". But one has a grammatical ending as a human being and the other as a thing or an animal. And in this way we can emphasize the difference of: when we talk about angels and we mean beings resembling humans or kind of inhuman creatures.

    I recently went to poland for a vacation, warszawa is absolutely lovely. Although I was a very basic understanding I've started to put alot more work into it. A great thing to practice when you learn how to say something new is to list out all of the ways you could use it in every form of a sentence. I know that helps me with getting used to the looser syntactical rules. Hopefully I'll be able to move there for my doctorate, and by then I'll speak much better. Go poland!

    I randomly came across this video and I like it very much. You've focused on grammar of Polish language. However, there is also the ability to enrich vocabulary by adding prefixes that is quite a big part of the language. For example simple word "jechać" (to go) can have extra meaning by adding prefixes
    Wjechać - go in, go up
    Zjechać - go down
    Wyjechać - go out
    Przyjechać - arrive
    Przejechać - go over smth, pass by
    Odjechać - leave
    Zajechać - come in
    Wyjechać - go somewhere
    The similar rule may be applied to most verbs.

    I'm a Russian. I've learned German, French, Spanish, Ukrainian, English, and Polish to some degree, tried to taste Arabic, Korean and Persian. But my favorite one is undoubtedly Polish. It's just amazing. Pronounciation is an exercise and pleasure for your tounge. The sound is so versatile... You just can make it sound as you wish - super soft, super harsh, elegant, colloquial, high or low... It's so amazingly flexive, so you may speak shortly and move words anywhere you want to emphasize any of them, because the form of a word says enough and gives you freedom. And one more thing wich is perhaps only for a Russian speaker - Polish sounds so lovely aristocratic, it looks just a Renaissance-styled speech indeed. The words which are archaic now in Russian are common in Polish (such as "pokój" (room) or "usta" (mouth)), and speaking Polish I feel myself in XIX century or sometimes in an old tale a bit :)
    You may find a lot of literature in Polish (I prefer "The Witcher" and Sienkiewicz historical novels). And most of games I play have Polish localization, so It's easy to immerse yourself into the language. And, yeah, there are some 45 million Poles to speak :)

      @@adamkasztankiewicz8835 Ma pan rację. For instance in pre-soviet Russian there were two plural pronouns for third person: "oni" and "one", just like in Polish, but now there is only "oni" for both masculine and feminine. But also Polish was formed as a literary language in 16th century (like Italian), while Russian - in 19th century (like German). So many words and forms, wich were fixed in Polish since 16th, became obsolete and disappeared in Russian to 19th.

      Shovel = "szpadel" in Polish, "rypadlo

      ypadełko" = crude slang nickname for bed in Polish(from "rypać" - crude slang word for sex). Many a Czech elicited surprised snort of laughter from a Pole who hears this word not knowing the real meaning. We just can't help it, and we are usually very sorry for it - but many perfectly normal Czech words sound very amusing to us, Poles.

    There are also quite interesting iterative verb forms in Polish. They're used with some verbs.
    to see - widzieć (imperfective form), zobaczyć (perfective form), widywać iterative form - to see from time to time;
    to go/walk - chodzić/iść (imperf. form), pójść (perf. form), chadzać (iterative form); to sleep - spać (imperf. f.), zasnąć (perf. f.), sypiać (iterative f.). All these verbs conjugate. E.g. the 1st person sg.: chodziłem / poszedłem / chadzałem; widziałem / zobaczylem / widywałem.

    Great video! This is explained so well I'm actually shocked why anyone would put so much effort into knowing our language. Most of us know english so the barrier is not so big. As a Pole I would add a one small additional info to emphasize meaning of 'przeczytać' (perfective non past of read). Przeczytam actually means 'I will have it read in unspecified time, but I will, I promise, I have will to get it done' not just 'będę czytać' which exactly means 'I will read, I will be doing that but i don't know if I finish'. Przeczytałem means 'I finished the book' not just 'I finished the action of reading' which is 'czytałem' - 'I was reading, I finished that action but I did not finish the book'. The same with 'naprawię/ naprawiłem' and 'będę naprawiać/naprawiałem' (I promise to to finish the reparations/I repaired and I will be repairing/I was repairing). This is some kind of thinking about the future like it is already a past but more in sense of willing or expecting than being certain. It's like you see a car speeding towards a guy walking on the road looking into smartphone. You say 'kierowca przejedzie go zaraz' meaning 'the driver will be in a state of having him ran over already in a second'. You are almost sure it will happen having limited info. Or something like that. It's not so obvious all the time; Apart from video declinations are generally a bit easier than in latin but with many new symbols it gets even, I guess. Good thing we nowadays don't use past perfect or latin plusquamperfectum on a daily basis. But books, poetry and old people still can use it sometimes which is funny because many Poles even don't understand it. Examples: Now we say 'znikłem z oczu' - "I (or I had ) disappeared from sight(from eyes)' But some elders could say 'znikłem byłem z oczu' which exactly means 'I had disappeared from sight(from eyes)' But in polish it is not 'have' but 'to be' so person says 'I disappeared I was from the sight' it's just strange for unused people; And this pro-drop is very common. Normally we don't use 'Ja' 'I' while talking as it is obvious who from just the verb. We only use 'I' when we need to emphasize that it is myself who does something or list who did what. This is dead giveaway to tell the non native speakers as it's more like a instinct not a rule. Also we have cases of talking in third person which conveys either respect or lack of respect, or talking in plural forms. For example if you tell someone 'usiądzie' 'he/she will sit' but without saying who (3rd p. perfective non past as mentioned above) that actually is treated as an order from someone having even slightly more power over us. Used mostly in hospitals by nurses. But if you say 'Mamusia usiądzie' while talking to your Mum it means 'Mommy please sit'. You can say 'usiądzie' to someone while talking about someone other who is going to sit and this would be just as normal. Next thing is the plural form like pluralis maiestatis. It also conveys respect but I think not so much as it was used both by nobles and by communists. It's just more formal way from old times. In english 'you' is both singular and plural so you don't see difference. Last thing I wanted to mention is talking to someone in third person plural form. This is almost extinct I think but you can say to your grandmother 'Babcia usiądą' and treat one person as 'they' with utmost respect asking your grandmother to sit down. Also in english there would be no difference because verbs sound the same in every person singular and plural. These quirks can be confusing especially when non binary people are trying to change meanings of long established terms because they don't even know the're established

      So do I but as a Pole I can tell you that's sometimes annoying when some famous person mentions Poland and everyone in the country is screaming OH MY GOD SOMEONE SAID SOMETHING ABOUT MY COUNTRY. Same thing is when Pole sees a polish name in the starring captions at the end of a movie OMG HIS LAST NAME SOUNDS LIKE POLISH OH MY OH MY.
      But just for the records I am a bit excited too, maybe not as the example I gave you few second ago but it's always cool to see that there are people who ain't polish and yet consider Poland great country. Hell it took loads of time to type that xd

    Very interesting! What I particularly like about my language are the diminutives. There is a kind of grades or level of diminutives which indicates emotional proximity: Kawa (coffee) - kawka- kaweczka-kawunia/kawusia-kawusieńka. Watch out! You can have a diminutives made out of adjectives: młody (young) - młodziutki (very young)-młodzisieńki (very, very young). These are distinct from simple młody (young)-młodszy(younger) - najmłodszy (the youngest).

I am the first person in the entire family tree to be born in the United States, or even outside of Poland. For generations we were villagers and farmers, with some more notable standings on my moms side way way back. I am very thankful my parents still speak the language at home and that I learned it fluently. I hope to pass it down to my kids but I know it'll get lost over the generations in the US
