"A man is eating an apple."

Translation: Mężczyzna je jabłko.

[Bob20020]

I will never remember how to spell "mężczyzna"

[Kev4italy]

Męż=Me'zh
Czyz=chez (e as in bed)
Na= na
If you separate it you'll memorize it easier :)

[Jack88303]

So true

[fdDd4]

M-zzz-n: remember "zzz", then just add "c" and "y": mezczyzna

How exactly am i supposed to write the accents? I cant see them anywhere on my phone keyboard...

[YugeshRV]

Go to keyboard settings, add keyboard and select polish keyboard

[Meg260311]

for me it dosen't take points for not having accents

[Brittany483398]

Same problem

[KatarzynaG649146]

if you are learning a language that is really hard like polish how are you supposed to remember how to spell the word if you are a beginner

[Paddington16]

Soooo hard!

[SaltMonger1]

Hover over the underdotted words. Its not "cheating" if you dont know anything. It gets you to recongnize the word.

[NirajMacqu1]

I was trying to figure out how to do the letter "ł" on my phone's keyboard for the longest while. It's under the letter "l" in case any one else was woundering.

[DanL123096]

Is je a conjugation to jem?

[Jellei]

The infinitive is "jeść". 1st person singular is "jem", 3rd person singular is "je".

[HarMonicaT.143]

Do you know how I can save your comment?

[Jellei]

I don't think there's any Duolingo way, I think only either as a bookmark or copy it to a Word document.

[Angela50666]

Hold your finger on the letter for a moment and you'll see all the accent options.

[lexi304318]

Should teach how and when to use accents.

[mai_ben_rai]

Whenever I hear the "ę" sound I start to write it as "en".

[Emwue]

That is a very common error of young native speakers learning to write – I could write „en” where „ę” should be as late as 5th grade and I sometimes do that still(rarely though), when writing very fast(for example on internet chats). :)

My polish best friend says that man is pan

[JerryMcCarthy99]

And indeed "Ten pan je jabłko." is an accepted answer.

[Jellei]

But actually shouldn't because the best English translation is "A man", not "The man". So we do not have "the" which could be understood as "this" and therefore translated as "ten" -> and "Pan je jabłko" on its own means "You're eating an apple, sir".

[jacklynsar]

My keyboard settings are in English. It's hard for me to punctuate the words.

[Jellei]

Change your keyboard settings to Polish then, because it has basically the same things in the same places as English, plus the special characters.

[FernandoVi803916]

"Pay attention to the accents", how if my keyboard is not polish??? You're stupid?!?...

[Jellei]

What stops you from getting a Polish keyboard?

[Becky57701]

If you're on a PC, I like Microsoft's PLP - Polish programmers keyboard add-in: all the letters where they are on your QWERTY keyboard but with accents on the ALT GR key, so you don't have to learn a whole new keyboard layout without being able to see it.

[Becky57701]

On mobile, I love gboard: easy, easy automatic language switching.

[mayakwap]

why is it now saying facet je jabłko? facet is more informal. What about pan?

[Jellei]

Deleted 'facet', it's more like 'guy'.

"pan" can work in "Ten pan je jabłko" (if you interpret 'the' as 'this'), but if you just say "Pan je jabłko", that is "You are eating an apple, sir". Formal You.

[fdDd4]

M-zzz-n, then I need to remember "c" and "y", just add them... Mezczyzna

[SohamGokha2]

Go to change keyboard and add Polish language in it . That will solve the problem of "ę","ż","ą",etc that you will encounter in the polish lessons. Thank you for reading and have a wonderful day ❣️.
