    I find German really helps me to remember household objects, the words are often quite similar :D

          Do you mean the pronunciation? I heard a definite repetition. Like /van-na/. Is that correct?

            Yes, it is correct. It is pronounced as it is written.

            A very clean combo.

            Why would it be? It doesn't have anything to do with the 'przy' preposition. It's derived from a surname, actually: Herr Vincenz Priessnitz, a peasant farmer from Gräfenberg, Austrian Silesia.

            well I thought "pry" doesn't exist in Polish, it's always written as "przy"

            True, just this time this wasn't any affix and the similarity was accidental.

              I was going to frite bathroom, but when it told me that prysznic = shower, I decided that bath was more coherent

                Why not just “a bath and a shower”?

                I have not said bathtub ever and I am over 60!

                Just 'bath' is accepted, it should have worked.
