How do you remember this word?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/mskycc3

For me, it's helpful to learn Polish phonics: "dzie" = j + yeh, "w" = v, "cz" = ch, "y" = ih (as in sick), "i" = ee, and "n" and "k" are the same as in English.

It's only five letters, G-I-R-L-S, it's not that hard.

The PC online version of Duolingo includes 'Tips & notes' pronunciations, near the beginning (phrase lessons section). There are quite a few new accented characters and diphthongs to wade through. Keep them at hand. After that, you can start breaking down the long words, in this case 3 syllables. Take your time. Rome wasn't built in a day... Neither was Warsaw.

Isn't "Dziewczyny" also correct?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/PerunBolt

It is. I put 'Dziewczyny' and it was marked 'correct'.

What's the difference between dziewczyny and dziewczynki?


https://www.duolingo.com/profile/va-diim

Dziewczyny are from teen to young woman. Dziewczynki are little girls through young teenagers

I don't understand why and what this is in "basic" for

"girls" seems like a pretty basic word to me... even if it's not easy to spell in Polish.
