"Fine, good night."

Translation: Dobrze, dobranoc.

[Alkimeer]

Why can't I say 'dobry' as in 'fine'? What do you use this for?

[mlekolaki44]

Firstly, because "dobry" is an adjective, while in Polish in such situations we use adverbs (dobrze=well). In general Polish is more picky if it comes to adverbs vs adjectives usage, for example in English you would say "I look good" or "I feel good", but in Polish only "I look well" or "I feel well" are possible.

Secondly, and somewhat contradictory to what I've just said, people sometimes say "dobra" (feminine version of "dobry") instead of "dobrze". I guess it's some kind of an exception.

[Jellei]

I believe that "dobra" meaning "OK, fine", from the grammatical point of view, is an exclamation.

Why this is not a right answer: fajne dobranoc

[deactivated user]

Just as "dobry", "fajne" is also an adjective. Eventually You could use "fajnie", though remember that in Polish this word and its inflections are colloquial.

[Tobias2499]

I also typed this.

[Vinyamoiel]

Why not "super, dobranoc"? In Poland there is this word, rly.

[Jellei]

Yeah, but firstly - it's colloquial, and secondly - it really is too much for 'fine'.

[SaumG]

The same: 'super night' instead of 'good night'? It is just the way you have to say it. Point.

[Jellei]

I think it was meant more like "Great, goodnight!" ;)

[clarevoyance]

why not spoko?

[Jellei]

That is totally colloquial. OK, "fine" isn't formal, but "spoko" is something you can only say among friends...

[clarevoyance]

rozumiem! dzięki! :)

[Thatguy94]

Is that an st sound at the end of the second word?

[alik1989]

A [ts] sound, yes.

[GregoreoNevrati]

"Fine" is more like "świetnie" than just "dobrze".

[alik1989]

I believe that 'fine' doesn't quite catch the intensity of 'świetnie'.

[Jellei]

Yup, "świetnie" is rather "great"...

[ManneTr]

Dlaczego nie fajnie?

[Jellei]

To tzw. "false friend". "fajnie" znaczy "cool", nie "fine".

It's a so-called "false friend". "fajnie" means "cool", not "fine".
