Koh-haa-mm ...the polish 'Ci' in 'Cie' is similar to how you'd pronounce the 'Ch' in 'Chair'...

Koh-haa-mm Ch-eh!!!!!!!!!!! (try saying that a lil faster and you'll be pretty much right on)

note: you'll learn better listening to a person pronouncing it since there are unique soundings for some polish letters (ê, £, ±, ñ, æ, etc.) This is the most accurate way you will learn, by hearing another person saying it the right way!

For "Lubiê Ciê" (I like you), it's pronounced:

loob/ lub-yeh-ch-eh...the 'yeh' is like saying the 'ye' in the english word 'yes' or 'yell'.

Get ready for the BIG one...

"i like you and would like to get to know you better, maybe we go for a coffee sometime?"

"Lubiê Ciê i chcia£abym Cie lepiej poznaæ, mo¿e poszliby¶my kiedy¶ na kawê?"

Pronounced:

Lub-yeh ch-eh i (' i ' like saying, but not sounding, the letter 'e' in english) hcha-wha-bhm ch-eh lep-yay poz-nach ('ch' as in 'chair'), mo-zeh posh-lee-bysh-myh ('myh' like the 'my' in 'mystery') kyed-ish na ka-weh?

*Sorry if it seems like too much to take in but it doesn't get any easier, trust me* =)

"You Are Sweet"

"Ty Jestesz S³odki" (for male)...
"Ty Jestesz S³odka" (for female)

Pronounced: Th Yes-tesh Swot-kee (male)/ Swotkah (female)

"You Are Nice" (for nice personality, but can also be meant for nice looking)

Polish:"Ty Jestesz £adny (m)/ £adna (f)"

[b]'Nice' Pronounced: "...Whad-nh (for male)/ Whad-nah" (for female)

Thanks,

I really thought it was... with a lot of spelling mistakes :(
(for pronunciation)

Any idea what it might be?

I was told that "có tetchcú" is "kitten"
and "có ham tché" is "I love you"

I guess these are not correct either?!...

Wlaz³ kotek na p³otek i mruga
£adna to piosenka, nie d³uga.
Nie d³uga, nie krótka, lecz w sam raz
Za¶piewaj, koteczku, jeszcze raz.

A kitten climbed onto a fence. It's a nice song, not very long. Not long and not short, just right, sing it again, kitten.

A very popular children song.

Cock-ham chair

All I saw on the front page due to its limited function was "Cock-ham chair" and if I said that to my wife, the best response would be, "okay darling haven't tried that before, let's go" but more likely would be a slap round the face lol

That's because English has such a stupid spelling system.

The kocham ciê bit was at the end................but maybe the giraffe had the right idea, build it up slowly and see how things are going.

If all goes well you can always take it to the next level. Ignore me, I am only jealous. Best of luck.

After verb you should rather use shorter form of personal pronoun. That doesn't mean you can't use longer form, but in most cases it sounds awkward.
