"Jem."

Translation: I am eating.

[tay.rose21]

Jem kind of sounds like yum

[AKhPn]

Good way to remember.

[SueZQ4]

That's what I tought! Lol

[Matthew_Phelps]

This is really compact.

[NattKullav1]

It sounds like "jen" for me in both speed. I have to take more time with Polish.

[e28144]

I heard "yen". I thought this would translate to "I am", but it seems the full translation is "I am eating". It seems such a small word for a long phrase.

It works the same in Spanish. One word for three!

[Gatu77]

The same in Russian, ja jem, я ем.

[Ema122411]

I'm from Slovakia and some of the words are the same as in our language. Pretty easy... For now.

[Oleksandros]

Hi from Ukraine, Slavic languages is the same

[kovi311902]

Hi Ema, i am from Slovakia too... Yes, easy to understand, but the grammar is crazy.

[Norma650136]

My daughter's boyfriend's family is from Poland that's the reason to learn Polish, He doesn't know that I learning I hope one day I can understand at least some word from his conversation. Lol

[MICHAROC]

God, I'm scared of polish words, what am I doing here, though I want to learn...

[Giovanni666]

I share your pain. Onward and upward.

[Jimadd]

Why does my polish dictionary not have this word - jem? Google translate likes it, but nowhere in the dictionary - je, jem, iem not there. Their verb eat is jeść.

[Jellei]

Yes, dictionaries generally only list the infinitive forms (and I would expect that the conjugation should be in the entry for the infinitive). And "jeść" is exactly the infinitive.

[Tim682504]

I wonder if my answer (contiuous form) is correct.

[Jellei]

"I am eating"? Yes, of course.

[Lisa660806]

What would be the word "to eat" that jem is being broken down from. Like in spanish bc that's what it's reminding me of.

[WrzodX]

To eat = jeść

[rapidsmark]

Here they pronounce it ee-yem. Everyone else pronounces it yem.

[alik1989]

I've checked both voices and they sounds correct. There's no "ee-yem" here.
