Greetings, to much respect?

I was just thinking...

If I were to walk into a room with a few Poles that I show respect for, could I say the following, or is this to much:

Dzień dobry Państwo

Or this case:

Dzień dobry Pan/Pani

Are both of these ok, or just "dnień dobry" all I need? I don't mean Poles in the U.S, I've noticed thats far less proper...

Since I don't know any better, I can get away with saying the following. :)

Dzięnkuję bardzo Państwo!

Dzień dobry państwu
Dzień dobry Panu/Pani

are more official than simple

Dzień dobry

---

Bardzo państwu dziękuje

is also very official

this means "Thank you very much, ladies and gentelmen"

Dzień dobry Państwu - Good morning ladies and gentlemen
Dzień dobry Panu - Good morning, sir
Dzień dobry Pani - Good morning, madam

I say czesc to anyone :)

I don't feel comfortable enough to say that to people I don't know. I'd rather sound like a robot, and maybe give someone a smile with my robotic proper Polish (although...I like to think I sound great). I frequent Polish shop's, and always get a friendly response.

On a side note, my mom didn't know what cześć was, and she understands nearly all Polish pretty well (though, she was born in the U.S). I taught her. I'm almost a master I guess. :)

Bardzo państwu dziękuje

What would be a better way of saying 'Hello, everyone'?
I'm thinking more of a cześć than a dzień dobry.

Sorry if this thread was supposed to have been all done and dusted by now.

Witam wszystkich or shorter Witajcie. If you wanna be polite though, it can be Witam Państwa (hello ladies and gentlemen). but if you wanna be cool, you can say Cze ziomy (yo dudes) ;)

Lol does that really mean 'yo dudes'? I didn't know this type of slang existed! That is very refreshing and funny to hear.

there is probably something even cooler to greet your dudes than that lol. cze is a short from cześć, and yes ziomy is dudes. im glad you like it ;). plus "yo" exists in polish slang as joł lol

LOL that is very funny, probably because its spelled like that more than anything. Imagine in IM chat someone writing joł lol. :P

joł


now that's cool :)


is scząka (arrow sp?) still used lol

Translation please !

Justysia - I tried " nie cwiankuj" out today - my kolegas loved it !

no idea?! lol never heard about it. did you mean szczęka (jaw)??



good stuff lol. ive got a new word for you, instead of saying "awesome", try zajebioza lol

I hear one of my friends dad says (im not sure how to spell it, but it translates to arrow in english) when he says bye to ppl.



how bout zajebiśće, i hear that sometimes too :)

strzała? strzałka? its kinda old-fashioned ;P



zajebiście is almost the same, zajebioza is more like awesomness. its my sister's favourite word just now lol

zajebioza....zajebiscie...w pyte...
;)

That one always raises a giggle but I get the impression its a bit rude ( might not be, I dont know )

I will try that one tomorrow....

zajebiście

it is a bit rude, kinda like feckin awesome. i'll speak to my wee sisters about the freshest slang words, they always come up with something hillarious everytime we speak ;)

It's becoming more normal tho. The stem is bad, zajebać, not so nice.

lol thats the one thing im slacking on, is slang...

I left poland when i was 9 so all the slang i know is from 1989 LOL


zajeboza sounds cool, im gonna use it on my parents when i see them again lol

im missing out on new slang words, but ill live. i just make up my own ha ha

how can I say and pronuonce >>hello

instead of "cze ziomy" I would say "siemka ziomki" or "siema ziomy" If I were you. It is much better polish slang, and I think it would be simple to you than "cze ziomy" (because of "cze" pronounce).
