"Sorry, I am eating an apple."

Translation: Przepraszam, jem jabłko.

[Tinyset]

Przepraszam is such a crazy word.

[idanlipin]

What about the Polish word for happiness? Szczęnście

[Franzonius]

szczęście

[CatherineD523718]

how do you pronounce that?

[jakexxiv]

With English spelling, I assume something like shchenshtsie

[ThomToch]

Came here to say thay xD Lots of the words seem so crazy.

[Barry645500]

I forgive you.

"Sorry, I am eating an apple"

Polish for Canadians? :P

[Jellei]

Well, not really, it's not an apology for eating an apple (Przepraszam, że jem jabłko), it's rather more in the direction of "Sorry, can't ralk right now, I have my mouth full because I'm eating an apple".

[BoVi1138]

A commom phrase in Polish I assume

[DanielDabrowski]

Kanadęski

[Yola448704]

Canadian English: "kanadyjski", just like "amerykański",
"australijski", "nowozelandzki" :)

Polish for Canadians - Język polski dla Kanadyjczyków

[SusWaid]

What does that mean? Why Canadians?

[redactedname2318]

Their steriotype is that they always apologize for minor things.

[Yola448704]

Most of Canadians are very polite, as they should be.
They are perceived as overly polite, because they tend to say "I'm sorry"
even before the start of an argument if one steps on their foot.

[labradore1]

I really wish this Polish course was a little more tolerant of minor typos, especially considering that Polish orthography is a bit of a new thing for most people starting out in the language.

Why is this so hard to do

[kool_kierra07]

I know! It is like...

Hard!

[N3zz7]

When should I be using Je and Jem its driving me crazy

[Franzonius]

"Je" is "he, she is eating"
"Jem" is "I am eating"

[RuthannPi]

What if I want to use the pronoun meaning "I"? It's "ja", right? So the sentence could read:
Przeprazam, ja jem jabłko. right?

[999Road]

you dont need to say ja , just jem jabłko is enough

[EmilyElizaFowl]

*przepraszam, and yes, it could be like that if you want to go through the effort of adding what's implied ^^

[JuliaHirtz]

Przepraszam is such a difficult word to learn the spelling for! Any tips or strategies for learning Polish way of spelling?

[Yola448704]

spelling - reading, reading, reading,reading, reading, reading

pronunciation - listening to and repeating, repeating, repeating

[sima25215]

Za trudne

[korovoakula]

Przepraszam, jem jabłko

[GabiValeMedina]

Do you like Scratch? :D

[EmilyElizaFowl]

"Sorry, jem jabłko" should be accepted. We use "sorry" all the time, it's the less formal version of przepraszam for minor stuff

[VeraViro1]

But we did't learn this word in the previous lessons

[MonnM]

Wcześniej było zdanie "Yes, I am sorry", a teraz "Sorry, I am eating an apple". Kiedy zastosować samo SORRY, a kiedy I AM SORRY?...

[Jellei]

Samo 'sorry' jest po prostu bardziej kolokwialne.

[MonnM]

Dziękuję bardzo za odpowiedź :-)
Ps. Jeśli mogę zapytać: który język jest Twoim ojczystym, angielski czy polski? Obydwa świetnie znasz!

[Jellei]

Dziękuję :) Polski jest moim ojczystym.
