Hi all. I would like to hear if anyone knows of an online list of the most used Polish verbs, somewhere on the Net, or inside this forum? Or maybe just if one of you could write something down, with the verbs and how they change in the different tenses and cases. You know, like the following for the present tense: Jestem Jestes´ Jest Jestes´my (sorry my spelling) Jestes´cze Jesa,n (I think) Furthermore, just in case, if some of you knew a good list of useful sentences that would also be very appreciated. Thank you a lot in advance. Cheers! - a half-Pole in DK

Sorry, I don't know any site with Polish verbs... but I would like to correct you, so here it is: I am - ja jestem You are - ty jesteś He/she/it is - on/ona/ono jest We are - my jesteśmy You are - wy jesteście They are - oni są

Either Lisa or Telefonikita mentioned a book "1000 Polish Verbs" (can't remember who told us about it now) and I have looked for it on US Amazon but couldn't find it. I will try to look it up on some other of the other Polish bookseller websites. It sounds like a very useful tool, if I can find it!

Thanks a lot for your great response. Do you inflect the verbs in the same manner, when they end with a c´? - And how would that be, in the most-used tenses? And what about the single occurences, fx on the world-english-site? How would you use them in different cases? I hope it isn't too much. You've already given me a great help in a very little time. Im Voraus vielen Dank für ihre Hilfe. Mit freundlichen Grüssen aus Dänemark, the half-Pole. ;-)

Quoting: ylka I've found only '301 Polish Verbs' lol Thats the new book, the older one is better and has an extra 200 verbs (although the extra 200 aren't that common to be fair)

I'm still interested in hearing, if anyone knew of rules on how to inflect the different kind of verbs? There might be a system, I suppose, so verbs with the same ending are inflected in the same way, or something.. For different verbs, the site kindly shown to me above can be used: world-english.org/100verbs.htm And could anyone give examples on how some of them change in the different tenses? - Thanks in advance. ^^

As far as verbs go chodzić and iść meaning to go, are very important and are used in all sorts of situations.

Today I asked my friend if there was a Polish equivalent of "like" used to extend sentences (and thinking time). Like, "So, like, we were at this party and, like, it was totally awesome." He said "Yeah, 'kurwa'." Can any Poles out there think of a word used like that? It would be useful, instead of saying 'ummm' or 'uhhhh' while trying to think of the next word to say.
