"Nie wiem, co bym chciał."

Translation: I do not know what I would like.

[Clarence.Victor]

A question about something I have been wondering. The use of commas seems to be different from English. Why is a comma used in this Polish sentence?

[Jellei]

It introduces the second clause.

[Hoffman18]

i would want? makes no sense in english

[Jellei]

Yeah... changed to "I would like".

[Clarence.Victor]

"would like" and "would want" mean pretty much the same except that "like" would be more polite as to "want" having the connotation of a demand. Subtle but a difference with either being acceptable. My original question had to do with English not using a comma before a dependent (subordinate) clause but uses one after the dependent clause if it comes before the independent clause. Is a comma used in either case in Polish.
Mine is not so much a translation question but a punctuation question.

[JerryMcCarthy99]

A comma is standard in Polish in sentences like this, and also where "że" is involved. "Myslę, że..."
