Does Człowiek get used the same way as "People" ?

[kamrelim]

A human - człowiek

people - ludzie (which is plural from 'człowiek')

[LaisReis1]

Oh, so Polish also has irregular plurals? What a fascinating language!

[immery]

człowiek-ludzie

rok-lata (year)

are the best pairs. other "irregulars" are just unusual endings.

[LaisReis1]

Thank you very much, Immery. Better yet, Dziękuję bardzo!

[abcdef933419]

Hey immery.

I keep reading in comments that.... "ludzie is plural of człowiek"

But I also keep reading that 'ludzie is people' and that 'człowiek is human'.

I would like to ask what is the ACTUAL plural of 'human'. So I mean the translation of 'humanS'

I dont believe it is 'people' as that would be the plural of 'person'.

Hope u (or alik or jellei) can help.

Thanks

Also, where does 'osoba' fit into all of this?

Thanks again

[Jellei]

The translation of "humans", as it could potentially be used by aliens in a science fiction movie, is still "ludzie".

The plural of "osoba" (person) is simply "osoby".

Those are the equivalent words, but how they are actually translated may be an entire different thing. Because when English would use "two people" (and not "two persons") it could be most natural to say "dwie osoby" in Polish. But singular "osoba" is a lot less common than English "person".

I wrote more about this here: https://forum.duolingo.com/comment/19428542

Same in Russian:

cielowiek, liudi = person/people

god/liet = year/years

[GabiValeMedina]

Человек, люди

Год, лет

'Ludzie' and 'Leute' ('people' in German) - coincidence or could it be from the same Indo-European root?

[filipinojalapeno]

proto indo european h₁léwdʰis

[pavelmeshchanov]

Jon Abelli, I answer YES: Ludzie, ludi (Russian), Leute (German), liudi (Bosnian), but cilveki (Latvian) = cheloveki...

Might I ask ya'll what is the title of this lesson, and what characterizes the new words we learn in this one? Also, is it mainly about the case of tuw worda or not only?

[o0LavenderRose0o]

For some seasons i clicked on "człowiek" and it said that it mean "man" but i guessed it's "human" as there wasn't man in choices :/.
