          Or, if you prefer, Wiedzieć = Savoir, Znać = connaître. Note also "Umieć", to know how to do something.

                  what is the rule for using commas?

                    It separates a dependent clause from the main one. Że is a word that introduces dependant clause, so comma before it is expected in most usual sentences.

                    List of words that introduce dependent clauses, and comma is usually expected can be found here

                      Is there some reason you can't translate "parasol" as "parasol"?

                        Polish "parasol" can be the one that covers you from rain and the one that covers you from sun, so yeah, it should work. Added.
