[aleksy8]

the ego of this sentence is massive, am I right

[Matthew53527]

No, that's a healthy relationship with yourself

[alidavid13]

Kochać się has a different meaning, if I'm right

[Jellei]

"kochać się" can mean "make love", but also simpler "love each other". Or rather the other way round, "love each other" is rather the basic translation.

[Robert877586]

It can also be part of "kochać się w kimś" = to have a crush on somebody

[__luniii__]

You're right. This is a Polish speaking.

[daeredrow]

good for you lad, good for you

[Rozelyn-Claire]

You can also say "Kocham mnie!", right?

[Jellei]

That actually would sound really strange. Maybe in some "Learn to love yourself" classes only. But even then it would be kind of a word play.

[miletskiy]

You said "I love me"

[Wendy961084]

Why do you keep marking me wrong when I have given the right answer 'I love myself' ?

[Jellei]

No clue, must be a bug :|

[Unbedingt]

Does letter 's' in siebie sound like 'ch'?

[Jellei]

Eeeee... no. Why?

[Unbedingt]

You're right, it's something like "Sh"

[Jellei]

Yes, a lot closer ;) "si" before a vovel make the Ś sound, which is a palatalized S, as you probably know. Not a "Sh". But as this seems to be a difficult thing for foreigners to perceive... if you can't pronounce Ś, go with SZ, I guess.

[alidavid13]

Simply try to say normal usual "Sh" sound but touch the back of your lower teeth with the tip of your tounge.

[nerguy_pablo]

In this case, would it make sense to add 'Ja' at the beginning, as the speaker is especially focussed on him- or herself here?

[Jellei]

You can do that (as always), but it's not like it's more probable here, it still sounds like contrasting (You do not love yourself but I do love myself).

[Robert877586]

"Ja" would be used for exemple in such statement: "Ula kocha mnie. Ja kocham siebie." The "ja" would emphasize the opposition of her (Ula's) feelings and mine. To show that her feelinga are not consistent with mine.
