"Jego ciocia i jego wujek"

Translation: His aunt and his uncle

[thinkname]

do you always need to repeat the possessive pronoun in a phrase like this, even if it takes the same form?

[Jellei]

No, here it's okay to omit it.

[AnubisTheGreat]

Well, firdt of all there is "ci" and "ć". "Ci" sounds a bit longer than "ć". It sounds like English's "chea" but you need to say it harder (try google translate) - but, you need to know it just sounds similar, it's still not that how it should. "CZ" is sounds like "ch" in English. For example you say "cztery" not "ćtery"/"citery" (in that way small children used to speak).

So jego doesn't change according to the gender of what's being possessed?

[Emwue]

Yes, „jego” as a possessive pronoun is indeclinable – be careful though, as it is also a genitive and an accusative form of „on” and „ono” and these two decline normally.

[BradCooper4]

wanted to clarify the "ci" sound in Polish. It sounds like the "ch" sound in english. Similar to cz in Polish. Could someone clarify

[deactivated user]

Okay I am sorry, but I most note this: the Slavic words for Aunt sound very similar to the Spanish word "chocha", especially here in Polish where the T is softened to sound like ch/tch. Maybe it's a weird coincidence, but one never knows.

[idanlipin]

Not a coincidence. There are many similarities between Polish and Latin words (I know some from Italian): give = daj (from Italian - dai); a tomato = pomidor (from Italian - pomodoro); a sock = skarpeta (from Italian - scarpetta).

Thank you for that insight!

I've read on another site that 'wujek' is never used? 'Wuj' is the correct word?

[Jellei]

Rather the other way round. "wuj" sounds strangely formal and I almost never hear it.

[JanVankjr.]

In the slow recording, "i" is almost inaudibly quiet.

[Jellei]

At least in the new voices, I think it's fine...
