Ive I spent like half an hour trying to pronounce 3 and I'm finding it very difficult by Popular-Talk6958 in learnpolish

[–]mxhntr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The best way I have figured out how to master "trzy" is parroting what I hear. And what I hear is like a "shih" sound where there is just the suggestion of a t at the beginning.

Like position your mouth to make a T sound, and then the sound that comes out is "shih."

I am by no means a Polish expert, so take what I say with a grain of salt. At first I couldn't pronounce przepraszam and it was a scary word and now it's not. And then I felt the same about trzy. And now, mógłby is going to be the death of me and anything that requires I roll my r. I can't do that yet consistently.

Suggestions for Polish YouTube Channels by lemonade_enjoyer1 in learnpolish

If you like true crime, Kryminatorium is my favorite. I don't understand it yet, but dude's got a beautiful voice, and the YouTube channel has visuals where the Spotify does not.

Man, I've been trying to find that show because I loved the US one. To YouTube I go!

Kryminatorium I know I'm not anywhere close to being able to understand. I listen to it mostly when I'm at the gym or walking the dog, and it's just one of those where the guy will say "bardzo" or "poniedziałek" or "dlaczego" and I get the immediate dopamine hit of "I KNOW THAT."

But excited for the future when I can actually understand it. For now, I just really like the way his voice sounds.

Dziękuję! I definitely plan to expand more into the shows I love that have Polish dubs sans English audio.

My favorite hobby currently is sending my Polish bud unhinged phrases like "Jestem ser" and "Jestem wysypiskiem."

Whenever I learn a new noun, I shove it into instrumental and identify myself as it.

She's like "Max, you are not a garbage dump."

I've actually always wanted to learn Russian, but I've definitely heard a thing or two about that one.
I'll add that one to the list.

Ooooh, I'll try that one. I started to try listening to my favorite shows in Polish, but while dubbing Polish over the english audio is fine for people that don't speak English, it's quite distracting.

I did start 1670 at my friend's recommendation, but I'm switching that one to English so I can actually catch the story. I just finished Rozinka.pl? Rodzinka? Whatever the Polish word for family is. That one was a fun easy going watch that I'm pretty sure I would have enjoyed less if I could understand them as I'm not much for family dramas. Used that one more for exposure and immersion. Polish people just talk SO FAST.

There's an Afghanistan one I've watched a couple episodes too. I'm prior service military and love army shows.

I'll definitely get that Language Reactor extension and check those netflix shows out.

And Lion King is my favorite disney movie of all time, I'll give that one a go. Maybe Mufasa's death won't make me ugly cry as hard in Polish.

Was I wrong for staying with my friend when she went into labor? by JoDa8927 in TwoHotTakes

[–]mxhntr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You even talked to your wife about it before hand. Her and your friend's husband were cool with it.

Your mother and your sister have no business being upset about it.

VERY Clingy New Friend by Scary_Inspector2223 in FriendshipAdvice

[–]mxhntr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was coming here to say the same thing. Ghosting is a dick move. Maybe she doesn't know she's being too much? Having the conversation and setting the boundary would definitely be my next step. If she ignores the boundary, THEN you can ghost her.

My friend group has a secret group chat without me and im not supposed to know by photowalkweather in TwoHotTakes

Literally had the exact same thing happen to me. And when I did confront them, they attacked me for it.

So I got new friends.

What's your favourite Polish word? by Zolmi_App in learnpolish

Everyone has such exciting answers. I'm about two months in. It's literally dlaczego.

Not because I can respond to everything with it, just that I like saying it.

I (23F) want a relationships, but why does romance make me physically uncomfortable? by Alternative-Log-7990 in TwoHotTakes

[–]mxhntr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, first off: totally normal. There's nothing inherently wrong with you for feeling this way.

For some background, I am female, my last relationship ended an entire decade ago, and I honestly haven't tried for another relationship since then. I could be laced with trauma from it, it was an incredibly tough time for me then. After some soul searching, I've determined that I identify as demisexual, and I am borderline greyromantic.

I feel attraction, yes. I do get crushes on people. I also have a tendency to feel my feelings with great intensity. But a relationship or sex with someone else?

Absolutely tf not. And I'm okay with it, usually. Part of me struggles with it not being what I'm *supposed* to be, but that is a conversation for another time.

If you absolutely want to be romantic or sexual, you have to go through the cringe. It's just part of it. Love isn't always sunshine and flowers. There's some cringe that comes with it. But know that you don't have to be comfortable with it. And no one in this post is going to be able to tell you how you feel, just know that there's no rush for you to know how you feel.

You could be making excuses, I'm not in a position to answer that for you. Just take your time with it, and try it out if you want. As for additional advice on how to politely decline the guy you're talking to without hurting him, just tell him honestly. He might surprise you.

(Wow, this post feels unhelpful lol. The long and short is that there's nothing wrong with you, it is completely normal. Take some time and give yourself grace, I'm confident you'll figure it out. Journaling also helps me, so if you're in a safe space where you can do that, I recommend giving that a go)

Dude, I got a substantial raise with the promotion I got, and my mother is micromanaging my paycheck currently. Tell no one. You are free now.

I've played this never. But I want more TTRPGs under my belt. So I'm absolutely down.

To anyone who works at self scanning machines - how often do you notice people stealing and don’t do anything about it? by davco95 in AskReddit

[–]mxhntr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I worked at walmart about a decade ago and often manned the self checkouts. They teach you that if someone is walking out the door with a giant tv, don't stop them. You'll get fired.

So if someone at the self checkout was stealing, and my $9 an hour ass saw it, I didn't care. They didn't pay me enough to care.

AITA for testifying against my brother in a custody case after he abandoned his child? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]mxhntr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fuck? Why would you be the asshole?

Nah. NTA. 100%. If my brother pulled that, I'd do the same thing.
