Hi.!
I recently made a small video about Polish vs. English. You can watch it here:
https://d.tube/#!/v/slavomiro.vonzo/u1dd0ch6
Here is kind of a transcription of the video.
When you introduce yourself :
- CZEŚĆ = HI / HELLO - informal
- DZIEŃ DOBRY (LITERALLY = DAY GOOD) = GOOD DAY We say it all day long until evening when „good evening” phrase comes in. - formal
- WE DON’T HAVE THINGS LIKE: GOOD MORNING / GOOD AFTERNOON (IT SOUNDS FUNNY IN POLISH: DOBRY PORANEK 😅 / DOBRE POPOŁUDNIE😅 )
- GOOD EVENING = DOBRY WIECZÓR
"Saying good bye":
- GOOD NIGHT = DOBRANOC (ONE WORD MADE OF TWO: DOBRA + NOC)
„Good night Jimmy” – „Good night, mum” – you get the point
- GOOD BYE = DO ZOBACZENIA / DO WIDZENIA (LITERALLY: SEE YOU, UNTIL NEXT MEETING)
Literal meaning of this phrase does not exist in Polish. You can ask Google, check English – Polish dictionary from your shelf – you will get nothing else then „ do zobaczenia / do widzenia”.
- BYE - you can translate this informal thing as PA.
"Bye, Love " = "Pa, Kochanie".
Enjoy.!
SV.
