"Dziękuję, jem jabłko."

Translation: Thank you, I am eating an apple.

[RyanUnderwood1]

Them: You look wonderful!
Me: Dziękuję, jem jabłko.

When would I use this?

[CraneWife]

That's the point of Duolingo - if you were only learning useful phrases (where is the bathroom, my name is x, etc.) there's a chance you'd learn those phrases off by heart and not actually learn the rules of the language, whereas having to translate random sentences like this forces you to actually think about grammar and stuff! If you want to just learn phrases that you will definitely use, a phrasebook for tourists is much more helpful than Duolingo is. :)

[mskycc3]

That's an interesting perspective. I guess you're right. :)

[PeterBeach6]

You: What wonderful sounds you are making!
Me: Thank you, I am eating an apple.

[NogoBogo]

So you don't need the "ja" in a sentence like this? Is it like Spanish where you can omit the pronoun?

[Jellei]

Yes, that's correct.

im hearing "N" in Dziękuję but there is none . i call shenanigans

[KonradAr4]

In Polish a slight "n" or "m" is pronounced between ą/ę and a consonant.
So in "mąka" (flour) an "n" can be heared - "mą(n)ka". The same "n" sound like in the word "song" (a nasal "n").
- Another example: "wziąć" (to take) where a slight "n" can be heard (..ąnć).
- "zęby" (teeth) .. zę(m)by

No shenanigans

[Jellei]

Some people would say that 'ę' is a bit like 'en'.

[Sandra_Brandt]

Could you also say dzięki, jem jabłko ? What is the difference in usage ?

[zim_ek]

Yes, dzięki is also accepted here. Generally, thank you = dziękuję and thanks is dzięki.

[Aran.Nelske]

Can't "dziękuję" also be translated as "i thank you"

[Jellei]

Well, technically it can, but that's rather rare to say that, I don't remember anyone ever asking for such an option...

[PhillWard]

In the sense that dziękujemy means we thank you - yes. But you tend not to use the pronoun in English.

[aizikashke]

Is it me or is it pronounced dzin-kuje? Why do I keep hearing n sound?

[Jellei]

Well, the sound is ę (eu, like Spanish for 'Europa' or 'euro'), which can in a way sound a bit like 'en'.

Dlaczego operator samowolnie zmienia tlumaczenie i wykazuje jako błąd. To jest nieuczciwe.

[Jellei]

Ciężko nam odnieść się do tego komentarza, skoro nie zawiera żadnej informacji, co się właściwie stało i jakie były tłumaczenia.
