"Noszę szare majtki i pomarańczowe skarpety."

Translation: I wear grey underpants and orange socks.

[AnastasiaStyIes]

Thank you, Polish course, for that image.

[Viersch]

Sounds very sexual.

[zagadka314]

It isn't sexual… It is clothing.

[tryingveryhard]

r/woooosh

[PatriceLeB9]

But grey underwear?? Time to go shopping, lol

[JagodaKuro]

Me too. Ja również

[PatriceLeB9]

Lol!! Time to go clothes shopping!!

[JennyK0506]

I overlooked szare and read stare... Yikes.

[phoenixash4]

Stare i szare would have been worse.......at least that is what I like to think while wearing my old green underwear......joke........they are aquamarine.

[JagodaKuro]

Nice :)

[Jason870846]

Why isn't "I am wearing grey underwear and orange socks." acceptable? Is there a separate verb for "I am wearing" vs "I wear"?

[Jellei]

Yes, there is, but unfortunately it hasn't been taught in this course. Anyway, "I am wearing" translates to "Mam na sobie", literally "I have on myself".

[symphony.ali]

Thanks for your work, brat

[tryingveryhard]

I thought you were insulting him for a second and spit out my water-- Brother. Brat means brother. Yes. Okay. Sorry for the interruption, back to your regularly scheduled program.

[zittler]

lmao

[NativeExpa]

Yes, what's wrong with knickers?

[Maisie07]

Usually knickers is accepted instead of panties or underpants - why not this time?

[Valkorus]

...i nic więcej.

[Lio_lia]

Matka Bozka!

[Jellei]

Boska :) And it should be Vocative: Matko Boska! - otherwise it can be interpreted as if you were claiming that the sentence is a description of her ;)

[Lio_lia]

Dziekuje bardzo!

[lis368506]

[der_Rabe]

I need to check in here every morning to chose my clothing. :-D

[ChrisWilli160194]

In words like słoń and małżeństwo the ń is sort of pronounced as nee, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Are some words just like this or is the pronunciation of the recording wrong?

[Jellei]

Well, Ń is a consonant, so I wouldn't say that it should sound like 'nee' in a word, unless I misunderstand what you mean by that.

[ChrisWilli160194]

I've heard it pronounced as 'n' but there has always been a gentle sound after it, as in małżeństwo, between 'ń' and 's' there is a small 'e' sound that isn't present here

[Jellei]

Maybe very small... it should be pronounced as much without anything between "ń" and the following consonant as possible.

And I should read the comments before posting. I have the answer to I am. You are a great help, really. Thank you.

[RafalCwiok]

Doesn't "underwear" work too? I got it wrong for saying underwear instead of underpants

[Jellei]

"underwear" is accepted, it should have worked.

Although technically its meaning can be wider and translate to "bielizna".

[Neil395069]

Youre quite the dandy!

[samulangs]

It doesn't accept underwear, briefs, I don't know why I'm supposed to remember this one word, underpants.

[Jellei]

"underwear" works, added "briefs".

[Gary726273]

Why not...i am wearing?

[jan358131]

Is there no such thing as 'I am' in Polish? I put 'I am wearing' and was marked wrong.

[tryingveryhard]

Noszę means "I wear" but not "I am wearing".

[jeremyjohnbaker]

surely "I am wearing" is correct?

[anne139098]

Im a girl, no way am I wearing underpants
