Bloggy Polish

In this Bloggy Polish podcast you will learn how to say "I love you" and other things useful on Valentine's Day.

It's high time we all thought about a Valentine's Day card. So if you need one in Polish, here are some prompts as for the content:

1. Simple but the best:

Kocham Cię

(I love you. Note that the word "Cię" which means "you" starts with a capital "C". This is how we write all yous in Polish letters and it is meant to show respect for the addressee.)

2. Oldschool:

Na górze róże,

na dole fiołki,

a my się kochamy

jak dwa aniołki.

(This is a very old nursery rhyme. Probably all Poles know it and will smile with nostalgy when they see it again. The English translation of it is: Roses above, violets below, and we love each other as two little angels. Well? Isn't that sweet?)

3. Lots of kisses:

Setki buziaków,

tysiące całusów

i tyle uścisków, ile tylko chcesz

tylko dla Ciebie

- ode mnie

(Hundreds of kisses, thousands of kisses and as many hugs as you only want, only for you - from me.

It works in Polish as we have two different words for "kisses" - "buziak" & "całus".)

Hope these help a bit.
