"On nie jest moim przyjacielem, on jest moim znajomym."

Translation: He is not my friend, he is my acquaintance.

[RadhaTereska]

since the Polish uses "moim" in the second part, I would say my acquaintance and not "an" acquaintance

Judging by the "znajo" in "znajomym" I'm assuming that it just refers to someone you know, or have met. Is this correct? Does "znajomym" exclude friends?

[Jellei]

"znajomy" is "someone I know". Friends are included, but... they are just closer, right? They are more than "znajomi".

"znajomi" is the word for "friends" on Facebook, which itself tells a lot. Usually the list of people I know, but not necessarily know well.

In any case not "an friend"

Why do we get really hard spellings in practices that we don't have to spell yet in the 'real' lessons?
