"Jesteś taki zabawny!"

Translation: You are so funny!

So now Duo is teaching us how to flirt with Polish guys.

[Fajerbach]

This sentence sounds somewhat sarcastic...

[dfwgator]

"Funny how? I mean, funny like I'm a clown? I amuse you?"

[Vengir]

It depends on the way you say it mostly, not on the sentence itself.

[Fajerbach]

yes, I know. I am talking about this specific voice :)

[Klaudialk]

Could you translate this as "you are so playful?" ever?

[elbose86]

Can this also be "you are so fun!"? I think the concepts work slightly different in Polish, right? So the concepts of "fun" and "funny" don't exactly match those of "zabawny" and "śmieszny" (the latter is a bit negative even?).

[MarkK335284]

Yes, "zabawny" and "śmieszny" are not exactly the same, although the difference is very slight. If you want to state a positive opinion about some person, you usually use "zabawny". When you say "śmieszny" about a human being, it is usually in kind of negative sense.

"Zabawny" is someone you laugh with; "śmieszny" is someone you laugh at.

[Karjze]

I only learned the difference now after 20+ years speaking polish..... I guess I've been subtly insulting my cousins for years now haha!

[elbose86]

Thanks! And sorry for the late acknowledgement...

[CelioFM]

MarkK335284:
Thanks for the explanation!
One lingot for you!

[Jkandmadge]

if I was talking to a girl would it still be zabawny or zabawna?

[Vengir]

zabawna

And „taki” would become „taka”.

[Donna648996]

The translation on the screen is now "you are so hilarious". But in any case, is the response "You are so playful" incorrect:? Is there another Polish expression for being playful?

[Jellei]

Google's suggestion is "figlarny", which seems quite good to me. Not an often used word, though. Another was "żartobliwy", but that itself comes from "żart" (a joke).

[Kendra800150]

"You are so much fun"?

[Jellei]

That seems quite different to me... but I never know how to translate it into Polish. More context would be required, I guess. The closest to me seems "Świetnie się z tobą bawię", but it's rather "I have a lot of fun with you".
