Kino “Polonia”

The Polonia movie theater (¸ódê), one of the oldest in the capital of the Polish cinema

industry. Polish cinema is one of the few European film industries making a

somewhat successful stand against American imports. Besides traditional

movie-houses like this one, multiplex theaters are springing up everywhere.

nie szkodzi 'it doesn't matter'.

Literally, 'it doesn't harm'.

pójÊç pójd´, pójdziesz pf go (us. on

foot)

woleç -l´ -lisz +infin prefer

wolny 'free' occurs in both literal

and figurative senses. wolne

krzes∏o means a 'free (unoccupied)

chair'; wolny kraj means 'free

country'. If a woman says jestem

wolna 'I am free', this can be

taken to mean 'unattached', but it

can also simply mean that she is

not busy. This word also means

'slow', in the sense of, say, wolny

pociàg slow train.

GRAMATYKA 5.A.

DEVOICING OF VOICED CONSONANTS. In Polish, final voiced consonants

are pronounced without voice in word-final position, so that, say, lód ice and

lut solder , or Bóg God and buk beech , are pronounced the same. Since final

consonants are not pronounced vigorously in any case, devoicing is not

dramatic, but it is nevertheless noticeable. In sum, final d and t are

pronounced the same in final position, and similarly to t ; b and p are

pronounced the same, and similarly to p ; and so on, for all the other voiced-

voiceless consonant pairs.

Voiced-voiceless consonant pairs:

bwdz

-v

Practice: dàb "domp" oak, baw si´ "baf Êe" have a good time-imper., lód "lut"

ice, wódz "wuc" leader, ∏ódê "∏uç" boat, gwóêdê "gwuÊç" nail, twarz "tfasz"

face, bez "bes" lilac, w´ê "w´Ê" bond, nó˝ "nusz" knife, Bóg "buk" God.

Similar devoicings occur before voiceless consonants inside words, but

these assimilations tend to take care of themselves. See ∏awka "¸AF-ka"

bench, ∏ó˝ko "¸U-szko" bed, gàbka "GOMP-ka" sponge, and so on.

TODAY, TOMORROW, YESTERDAY. The words for 'today', 'tomorrow',

and 'yesterday' are adverbs, and are used to answer questions containing

the question adverb kiedy when:

dzisiaj , dziÊ today

jutro tomorrow

wczoraj yesterday

pojutrze day after tomorrow

przedwczoraj day before yesterday

As in English, these words condition tense-changes on the part of verbs:

Dzisiaj mam wa˝ny egzamin. I have an important exam today.

Wczoraj mia∏em ( mia∏am ) wa˝ny egzamin. I had an important exam

yesterday.

Pojutrze b´d´ mia∏ ( mia∏a ) wa˝ny egzamin. I will have an important exam

the day after tomorrow.

See further below for the formation of the past and compound future tense,

using b´d´ . The words dzisiaj and dziÊ are synonymous, dzisiaj being

slightly emphatic and placed more often at the beginning or the end of a

sentence.
