Why is "phone" not accepted? Who the hell says cellphone nowadays? Everyone know what i mean when i say "the phone"!

[ThorstenAl3]

indeed cellphone is US only anyway. In the uk you say mobile.

the "leaving-a-place" dance.

[NinaBourgois]

exactely what i was thinking!

[manuna84]

I hear "klucze" pronounced with R, like "krucze" - is it correct?

[Meam89]

No, it's not correct. You pronounce it with L. This audio is terrible!

[DanielGarbin]

Komórka can't be translated as mobile?

[br0d4]

Can be.

[ligetidavid]

Why is billfold incorrect for portfel?

[Jellei]

Seems correct, added now.

[Chon530]

Do I really need to put "the"? In front of all three? Seems too harsh

[Archaejon]

A key, a cellphone and a wallet is incorrect?

[Jellei]

You have plural keys, not a single key here. The rest is fine.

[PiikPiik1]

Ahahaha. In my native language, "portfel" is a bag and "komorka" is a pantry. I fell out.

[br0d4]

The original meanings of "komórka" are 1. cellule / cellula; 2. cell of honeycomb; 3. basic unit of some organisation; aaand 4. a small room used to store things, especially one without windows - or a pantry.

But Polish language likes to simplyfy the names, so when the usage of cellular phone (telefon komórkowy) became more and more popular, its colloquial name was reduced to cell (komórka). Still, it is only a colloquial name.

[Frank528974]

Would it be possible to use smartphone for komórka? Or is there another word for it in polish?

[Jellei]

The word "smartfon" exists, but in most contexts you would rather use "komórka" or "telefon". So ok, added.

[Frank528974]

Dziękuję bardzo Jellej!

"The keys, the portable and the purse"?
In an other exercise "portable" was accepted.

[Jellei]

I don't see "portable" accepted anywhere and it doesn't look like an appropriate translation to me...

[z.slinky55]

Why is "the" necessary? Shouldn't "keys, cellphone, wallet" be accepted?

[MarkKulka]

I think it is accepted. That translation worked for me.

[SarloteK]

Komórka = (mobile) phone

[Tominator]

Don't forget your mask in 2020 (and 2021?...)

[Jellei]

Although "mask" translates to "maska", in the context of COVID, the diminutive "maseczka" is almost always used.

[AdelaideDu8]

Quite right. These are three key things to remember and it is well that they go together.

"Keys, phone, wallet?"
