I think I was on her case, or she was getting back at my father (her son).

I think these are basically all correct!

Do you know any of the real words? All the phonetics are mine.

Thanks again. Actually I heard them from my grandmother (babcia?), that's how I wrote the phonetics. I guess I should have clarified, I was sort of looking for the following:

One beer please / Jedno piwo, proszę / Yed-no peevo prosha
Word (or phrase) / polish / phonetic

This site helps alot. I'm starting to pick up a few words again.

Thanks again. That will help when I check back to the site and see it written. Most often when someone responds to a query, it seems to be written out that way (not phonetically).

Just one remark:

"where do you live - yak me-yesh-kash/ jak mieszkasz? "

jak mieszkasz does not mean where do you live, but it means how do you live... I know I am being picky.

where do you live is "gdzie miszkasz" I have no idea how to write it phonetically.

ok, it was suppose to be jak mieszkasz not jak miszkasz, forgive me spelling mistake.

Hi. Iam a new grandma and Polish. My grandma isn't around anymore to ask and i'm looking for derivitives of "grandma" for myself. Could you please help. I thought my name would be Buscha, at least that's what a woman from church told me. Could you give me the proper spellings and the phenetic way of saying it. Thanks a bunch.

I work with a polish girl and it was her birthday th other day and we asked her how you said it in Polish and she said they don't really wish each other happy birthday as such, they tend to wish each other "all the best" but I can't remember how you say it now haha!

i dont know where your grandma was from but she must have been from either the mountains, been from some tiny village, or been from a region called kujawy. the way you wrote TALK (godas). maybe she didnt have teeth. I dont have the proper font but i will use the basic letters. Talk: Muwic (its supposed to be a closed U, the O with the "accent" mark). Your grandmother probably said gadasz pronounced GADASH. It's actually an almost slang term for the work speak/talk. As for the other words, you is spelled TY and pronounced T and the y is like the I in "think." Paskudnie doesnt actually mean dirty, more like aweful pronounced the way it's spelled. If anyone has more questions email me on my hotmail account: witalis007
