Dzień dobry, Marta. Cześć, Roy.

00:00:19.617 --> 00:00:22.777
Co tam? Wszystko dobrze? Jak tam humor?

00:00:23.937 --> 00:00:25.177
Humor zawsze dobrze.

00:00:26.837 --> 00:00:30.677
O, masz wybór. It can be negative or positive.

00:00:31.197 --> 00:00:37.457
It can be half. So I actually, what do I say? I choose positive. Yes.

00:00:38.537 --> 00:00:44.237
Good. Good. That's the most important. Today we'll talk about elections again.

00:00:44.477 --> 00:00:46.037
Today we'll talk about election again.

00:00:46.597 --> 00:00:51.657
Because yesterday was the first ballot in Poland.

00:00:52.277 --> 00:00:53.897
Yes. The presidential elections.

00:00:54.897 --> 00:01:01.257
So we don't know the results for now. because we are recording it earlier.

00:01:01.777 --> 00:01:03.337
Nagrywamy to wcześniej.

00:01:04.337 --> 00:01:10.157
But I'm curious. Jestem ciekawa. Dowiemy się wkrótce.

00:01:11.637 --> 00:01:16.977
Okay. So, it's a new vocabulary, obviously. One of the is Komisja Wyborcza.

00:01:17.377 --> 00:01:19.357
It's Election Commission. Ja?

00:01:20.177 --> 00:01:24.197
Ja pracowałam w Komisji Wyborczej, nawet wczoraj.

00:01:25.037 --> 00:01:27.317
Tak przenoszę się do przyszłości.

00:01:28.531 --> 00:01:40.311
I hope that I've finished clapping so early, exactly.

00:01:40.691 --> 00:01:42.071
Is it a difficult work?

00:01:43.151 --> 00:01:47.591
No, it's not difficult. Nudne? Maybe nudne?

00:01:47.971 --> 00:01:56.031
No, it's not a difficult work, but it's a little bit time consuming and annoying

00:01:56.031 --> 00:01:58.871
sometimes, Sometimes because people are...

00:01:59.811 --> 00:02:04.511
Yeah, but it's very pleasant. I think it's very loud, right?

00:02:05.011 --> 00:02:11.291
No, no. Because when I look at Irlandia, I don't know about this country,

00:02:11.451 --> 00:02:14.051
but Irlandia is always very loud, right?

00:02:14.791 --> 00:02:26.951
No, no. If it's in Poland, it's quite nice to work, so it's okay. But it's time to count.

00:02:27.111 --> 00:02:33.151
I remember the last time, when there were elections for the EU Parliament,

00:02:34.111 --> 00:02:38.251
I was in the election at 3am.

00:02:41.051 --> 00:02:45.911
So crazy. For me it's a shame. People are angry.

00:02:47.171 --> 00:02:54.331
Because when I am angry, I don't work well. So, I know, there's a lot of people

00:02:54.331 --> 00:02:58.411
who are two people outside, or there's a person outside of you,

00:02:58.471 --> 00:03:00.951
who can be a teacher, for example, right?

00:03:02.511 --> 00:03:07.451
Yeah. What can I tell you? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:03:08.611 --> 00:03:12.231
So, the election commission is election commission, as I said.

00:03:12.231 --> 00:03:19.111
You see, every time you can say this wyborcza, wyborczy, when we translate it

00:03:19.111 --> 00:03:24.591
into English, then this word election as an adjective somewhere disappears.

00:03:24.591 --> 00:03:28.031
For example, in here, lokal wyborczy, yes, polling station.

00:03:28.331 --> 00:03:30.631
But in many cases, yes, you can

00:03:30.631 --> 00:03:34.371
notice wyborcza, wyborczy, it means like election, but as an adjective.

00:03:35.831 --> 00:03:40.071
So you can see, here's lokal wyborczy polling station, yeah?

00:03:40.071 --> 00:03:42.931
Here there's no polling, polling, yeah?

00:03:43.691 --> 00:03:48.931
So, yeah. Lokale wyborcze. Lokale wyborcze są otwarte od szóstej,

00:03:49.011 --> 00:03:52.051
no, no, nie od szóstej, od szóstej dla mnie.

00:03:52.711 --> 00:03:57.091
Od siódmej, od siódmej do dwudziestej pierwszej. So, a lot of time.

00:03:57.711 --> 00:04:01.051
Dużo czasu, żeby zagłosować. Tak myślę. I think so.

00:04:01.731 --> 00:04:07.031
And obviously, I was, tak? Byłam członkiem komisji, tak? In fact,

00:04:07.471 --> 00:04:10.631
I was the member of the election commission.

00:04:11.211 --> 00:04:15.751
Yeah, member of... Is that like członki, like if you're in a company,

00:04:15.931 --> 00:04:18.211
you're a member of the board. Is that the same członki?

00:04:18.571 --> 00:04:23.111
Yes, członek, członek jakiegoś zarządu. Yes, członek jakiejś organizacji.

00:04:23.771 --> 00:04:27.011
Yes, member of. Yes, like in English, exactly członek.

00:04:27.910 --> 00:04:31.490
Okay. As I mentioned, vote count. Yeah?

00:04:32.470 --> 00:04:38.310
I czynię głosów. Vote count. I czynię. Mam nadzieję, mam nadzieję, że poszło szybko.

00:04:39.070 --> 00:04:44.370
I każdy głos jest ważny. Every vote is important. Exactly.

00:04:45.050 --> 00:04:51.010
Remember it. Pamiętajcie o tym. Remember about it forever. Pamiętajcie o tym zawsze.

00:04:52.670 --> 00:04:56.190
Okay. A voter turnout. Frekwencja wyborcza.

00:04:57.580 --> 00:05:02.320
Frekwencja. To nowe słowo dla mnie też. Frekwencja. Frekwencja.

00:05:03.020 --> 00:05:06.700
Frekwencja również, na przykład twój syn w szkole, tak, jak chodzi,

00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:12.760
to ma na przykład, nie wiem, 90% frekwencji, tak? So it's like about the absence.

00:05:13.700 --> 00:05:17.540
Like, and some, yes, cool. If you have like high absence in school,

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:22.060
then your, twoja frekwencja jest coraz niższa, tak?

00:05:22.500 --> 00:05:28.500
Ale jeśli chodzi, to jest wysoka, tak? So, the frequency of the vote is a turnout

00:05:28.500 --> 00:05:34.400
in Poland is usually high, in Poland it is usually high.

00:05:35.060 --> 00:05:40.100
We don't know how it was now, but the presidential elections,

00:05:40.280 --> 00:05:44.100
they are always wysoką frekwencją.

00:05:44.280 --> 00:05:51.700
When it comes to presidential election, they are always so.

00:05:54.240 --> 00:05:58.260
Common. and people go to vote, usually.

00:05:59.180 --> 00:06:02.300
President, already mentioned. President, president.

00:06:03.080 --> 00:06:07.620
Parlament, parliament. Yeah? So it's like... Don't look like Donald Trump,

00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:13.340
because it's red, krawad, liby's, gametal. Yes, yes, yes.

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:16.980
But here, the man is...

00:06:17.900 --> 00:06:22.640
Trump, maybe, maybe he was a weak...

00:06:23.697 --> 00:06:29.937
Okay. So the similar, as I mentioned last time, sometimes these words are similar.

00:06:30.377 --> 00:06:36.337
When it comes to symbols, I think, related to election. Konstytucja. Constitution.

00:06:36.957 --> 00:06:41.697
Yeah? Flaga. Flag. So, as you know, almost the same word.

00:06:42.357 --> 00:06:49.517
Yeah? Ale dużo Polak ma flag na dom, Polaków na dom. Oh, I get that.

00:06:49.617 --> 00:06:55.037
Like, ostatni maja weekendu, też, yeah. I'm going to do your flag.

00:06:55.317 --> 00:07:00.697
Exactly, exactly. When it was a holiday, yes, like, Konstytucja 3 Maja,

00:07:00.877 --> 00:07:06.237
tak, Konstytucji 3 Maja, like, it was, like, anniversary of our first constitution, et cetera.

00:07:06.897 --> 00:07:12.977
So, tak jak powiedziałeś, like, many people just hang their flags. Yeah?

00:07:13.657 --> 00:07:18.177
Yeah. Okay. So, Konstytucja, Konstytucja i flaga.

00:07:19.017 --> 00:07:24.057
And probably it is all from my side.

00:07:24.857 --> 00:07:29.837
And prezydencie, is it każdego pięć lat or stary?

00:07:30.397 --> 00:07:35.817
W Polsce pięć lat, pięć lat. Yes, and only it can be chosen twice.

00:07:36.437 --> 00:07:39.397
Możesz być wybrany tylko dwa razy. Tak.

00:07:40.777 --> 00:07:49.717
Bo Irlandia chyba też ten rok, bo ja wiem Conor McGregor, ten MMA fighter on a xish,

00:07:50.257 --> 00:07:54.277
