"Nie chcę cię słuchać."

Translation: I do not want to listen to you.

[Tom873317]

How would you say "I do not want you to listen"?

[mihxal]

Nie chcę, żebyś/byś/abyś słuchał/słuchała.

[Tom873317]

Oh ok, thanks, that is a grammatical construct we haven't yet encountered here. What do you call that?

[mihxal]

I think that this is equivalent of subjunctive in Romance Languages:

How can I make a difference between "Nie chcę cię słuchać." and "Nie chcecie słuchać." while listening?

[Walkinthedog]

I had thought of that, but to me it could have gone both ways.

[Walkinthedog]

Got me again, I don't want to hear you.

[Larry11215]

chcę or chcem? I am sure poeple told me "chcem"

[alik1989]

Some people sometimes deliberately use wrong pronunciation in order to sound humorous (or for any other stylistic effect). Others pick that up and start talking the same way, without realizing why they do so. "Chcem" is one of those words that became quite common, even though it's wrong.

[Walkinthedog]

Pure English as spoken during the times of poets is a dinosaur, this is what creares problems in interpretations.
