Pride Lands

Oh, it's not a Bible quote. It is a sentence I read once. It says : "Adam was given the wind, the sea, the horse and the eagle." And it is about... the circle of life accually And it also says, that the world is dangerous, but also created by God - so we have to learn to leave with it, learn not to run from it. We have to live in a harmony with the God and the Nature, bacause we are part of it, and even if it is all very dangerous and... strange for many people (!!).

I'm a christian too. quite strong, I guess, when I compare myself to other people. But there is a far way in front of me, to be really strong

Oh, and for You Sonic:

wind - wiatr
sea - morze
horse - koń
eagle - jastrząb

ź, ż, ć, ą, ń, ł, ę... these characters I have trouble reading, I think that the ą sounds like a Danish å (somewhere between a and o) last I checked, ł sounds like an English w, and ę sounds like E in "ferry."

Still quite a newbie in the language of Polish. Like a cross between German and Russian. X_X

You are right with ą and ł, ę works the same as ą, but with e not a
ń... how to explain... have You seen a Monthy Pyton movie "Tho hollly grail"? There ane knights who shall say "ni!" this is the sound the "ni!" sound. But a little shorter that works like that: ź is a soft z, ń is a soft n, ś is a soft s and so on. Aw, and ó is English "oo" as in "food" for example. Well, I agree with You Sonic, Polish is a very difficult language...

Gratuluje... Tak... Nie... that's all I'll know for now. ^^

Actually, there is a character in Spanish similar to the Polish ń, which is ñ. The NI dipthong sounds like "nyah," running N and Y (English phonetics) together as a single consonant.

This is a guess...

oh, it is more difficult than that... there are two sounds for that. in the word You know "nie" is a "ni" dipthong (I learned the spelling and in the word I wrote "koń" is a "ń" soud. Ni is long like in "nie" and ń is much shorter. in "ni" You can hear iii in the end which is missed in "ń"... Oh... this is hard

Oh, yes... My loved ñ!!!


And that German character... that I think it sounds like a "s"... but I don´t have in my keyboard... It´s like the Grrek "beta"... well... I think they are similar...

I heard a few audio recordings of Polish words. I'm wondering if it's a nasal n like "No" in French?

Yes, it's known as the "Eszett," coming from the German "SZ" in the old spelling.

Thanks for the info about the "Eszett", Sonic God
I am very busy these days and I have no time (and no ideas ) for posting here.

That´s why I´ve been missing.

Just a random question...

If I remember my German correctly, can't you write "eszett" as "SS" ?

Flying...I am anyways. That's not everyone, but I take up the 'one' in 'everyone' I suppose. Maybe next time I'll ask the flight instructor if we can take 5 so I can beef around at nala.ru - or just take my laptop up with me.

Gimme a few, I gotta land.
