sjp.pl - mam pytanie

the online dictionary sjp.pl features declensions, which is incredibly useful.

Can someone explain something for me using this example:
http://www.sjp.pl/co/tankowa%E6

In the first column (under odmienosc) there are a series of letters:
B
(+b) E
(+b) G
H

What do these letters mean?
A different series of letters appears for every word requested.

Dzieki za pomoc

Ok, the bastard ( my cat)thinks now “he” is the cat’s pyjamas .
Back to your polish declension symbols. I guess what you need is the “classical table of the Polish declension but I’m afraid I’ll be more of a hindrance than a help, however if you take a look at :

then it may be of some help to you.

Why is Polish so $T^%&$*((#&%$( complicated!!

Thanks again...grateful to have you as a speed-bump in my road (of life)

I can't make out what these letters mean. I think they were invented by the authors.

Thanks for taking the time to look mg.
I feel better that it isn't something native Poles learned in the second grade.
:)
How's the countdown to Christmas coming? Are you winding down yet?

>waving a white flag down here in the trenches....

By the way, I think sjp.pl should have furnished their dictionary with their own glossary of these symbols.
But I would too capitulate under the face of the following gobbledygook in English :

“Chomsky begins Syntactic Structures , then , by aiming to construct a grammar that can be viewed as a devise of some sort for producing the sentences of the language under analysis…..
The language learner ( analogously, the linguist) approaches the problem of language acquisition (grammar construction) with a SCHEMATISM that determines in advance the general properties of human language and the general properties of the grammars that may be constructed to account for linguistic phenomena”.(LSST,12)

And thereupon it goes :

“………As a simple example of the new form for grammars associated with constituent analysis, consider the following :

(i) Sentence → NP +VP
(ii) NP→ T+N
(iii) VP→ Verb +NP
(iv) T → the
(v) N→ man, ball, etc.
(vi) Verb → hit, took, etc.

Suppose the we interpret each rule X→Y of (13) as the instruction “rewrite X as Y”……

And yadda, yadda , yadda……. .

I guess that every language can be defined by means of the“gloomy”mathematical descriptions but I have to admit that Polish is somewhat abnormally marked by multiple declensions,conjugations and inflections and God knows what else we might find there….

ugh, you're right.
Much better idea to curl up with some wine.

Back to livemocha.com :
A 29 year old firefighter has become quite friendly. Always had a soft spot for firefighters. :) Here in Canada, firefighters (a.k.a. "beefcakes") often produce photo calendars to raise money for charities...they always sell out quickly. I think it is very important to learn about these cultural nuances don't you?

>Much better idea to curl up with some wine.

Yes, indeed. To tuck up snugly in your padded armchair or bed is always a good idea.I've been just through it in fact.. and this is what I often do with the only difference that I put my headphones on while laying my “underpinnings”
(allow plural, hahaha..) on my tabby’s “gourd”(he doesn’t actually like such, say a snug quilt, but has no choice.:)
Speak of those hunky ,valorous firefighters at whose sight “your legs turn to jelly”(no offense dear, ok ?:) here, in our welfare banana state we have now some dishy female police officers (aka “dickless tracies” -humorously but friendly I call them so:)),who also pose for calendars that are sold to raise funds for charity. Such mercy dash is always highly noble and deserves respect. But wait till you see them half naked in ambiguous positions. :)
As for me , charity should begin at home in the first place, but I don’t want to generalize of course.

Hey, I skimmed over livemocha but couldn’t find the stuff I needed. I mean your speech and writing sample. Where the heck is it ? Your voice must very foxy and sensuous ,I know it. You shied away a bit from “going public” earlier but now I see you got over this and I’m very glad to hear that.I need to listen to it.:)

hey there.
God I hate the sound of my own voice.
It sounds so flat and unanimated when I read text. Believe me, I'm animated. Ask Eva.
Getting all flustered at the thought of you hearing my voice. I wouldn't even speak Polish for Ewa. Dziwna jestem.

Look again, same nick as here (blushing like a school girl). God I'm an idiot.
:)

No, you're not. You're sweet.:) And you shouldn't get flurried.
Blushing like a school girl ? In a pleated skirt ? That's it, baby :)))

I'll go there again and cock an ear at your nectarious cooing right away...
Rhyme ?

I find the whole experience of listening to non-native Poles speaking Polish to be very interesting. I have never heard anyone from Italy, France, Germany, Spain or Turkey speak Polish before. Very cool. Particularly the French and Italian accented Polish. mg spoke to me in British accented Polish when we met up and I thought that was pretty funny. I was blown away to hear Vietnamese people speaking Polish in Wawa. POlish speakers have always been such an homogeneous group for me.

English, on the other hand, is such an international language that I have heard pretty much every accent under the sun.

More later (time for dessert)
:)

You need to have my Saturday experience; then you'd be plenty animated too!

Yes, it's flat, but those reading samples are boring, so it's not your fault :) Other than that, it's perfect.

Gave the boys a "first date" protocol lecture at dinner tonight. I figured it's never too early to get them on the road to success.
:)
Oh yeah, hubby noticed that I made a significant dent in the wine yesterday.
I told him it was an emergency.
:)

WTF???
Is the whole world listening in???
Kidding of course.
Please tell Sav I'm not boring, ok?
Definitely hyper. :)

Ok, I joined this "cappuccino or mocha site":) under Savage and now I'm very busy with surfing this "coffeesite" and listening to your samples.:) I left you some comments. It's GREAT !!!
Screw the accent, though you sound more like an american, your lines are accurate and proper. You really shouldn't have been so high-strung about it.:)
It's over now :), many english speakers, whether they british or american, wish they spoke like you. I happen to know one "tea drinker" who's been living in Warsaw for many years and he's not a patch on you in this regard. Good, good, good.:)
Now we both know what we sound like, what ? I should submit my speech sample too and I'll do it shortly.

Yes, yes, yes, the whole world and me :))))
But the way, who is Mona on livemocha ? Can you fix me up with her ? :))
I'm joking of course. I've bee so madly excited by your samples...
I need to get my sh*T together and put mine as soon as possible. I mean when I'm
completely sober(when the effects of the medication wears off:(

cut *s* you know where.

I suspected as much, you're just using me to get other girls.
Mona is from Iran and speaks Farsi

Please post something Sav (when sober).
It's been a while since I heard you speak.
I'm sure Ewa will help out too, as she seems to be lurking around as well.

Ok :) Iran, no, no, no.
I just sent a message to you on mocha but can't somehow to check if it came through. I'm the only idiot here:) You will hear my sample very soon. This time I hope you will see what a "perfect pitch" in music can do with a human speech in relation to reducing someone's native accent to minimum and assimilate a new one by an individual who doesn't maintain any verbal contact with english speakers on a daily basis. I know it's not possible but at least I'm trying..

You don't have to post it this minute you know.

Yes, I got your message.

You sure are setting expectations pretty high, aren't you?
Thank goodness this isn't a blind date.
:)

Why did you say you're a beginner in English??

Beginner!?! Pshaw
Advanced would be more like it.

On the coffee site he stated he's a beginner.

yeah, I saw that in his profile.
So Madam, have you registered as well?
I'd love to hear that South American accent of yours (I would actually make hubby listen...he's the linguist in the family)

I have, but under a different nick. I'll send you an invite. I don't have a mike or whatever is needed to make a recording. What do I need and where can I get it?

I went to the temple of man toys/gizmos (The Source) and bought a mike for the computer for $10 (on sale from $15). Just plug it into the computer and "poof-magic" it works.
