Cześć, Marta. Cześć, Roy. And today, what is it?

Today, today, today in train.

00:00:35.857 --> 00:00:39.457
Okay. Roy, question to you.

00:00:41.397 --> 00:00:45.637
When was the last time when you were traveling by train?

00:00:46.017 --> 00:00:53.037
When was the last time when you were traveling by train? I was in Russian last

00:00:53.037 --> 00:00:59.377
year with my son in Hispanii from Barcelona to Madrid. It was a very nice.

00:01:02.697 --> 00:01:07.197
Very comfortable. Expressive, expressive. Yes, very good.

00:01:07.977 --> 00:01:14.537
So in Poland, a long time ago. I was here once again, but now it's better.

00:01:15.097 --> 00:01:20.737
But I remember, I was in Rzequiel, very loud. I think it was a old car.

00:01:21.437 --> 00:01:26.177
And also, when you buy a billet, you normally know it's a car.

00:01:26.637 --> 00:01:33.097
But Poland has a few other countries. It must be a billet to PKN or something.

00:01:34.077 --> 00:01:38.777
The ticket must be for that specific train. Usually, yes.

00:01:39.577 --> 00:01:43.097
There are also some local trains. Yes.

00:01:43.925 --> 00:01:49.965
Są też pociągi regionalne. You don't need to buy ticket in advance.

00:01:50.405 --> 00:01:52.825
Nie potrzebujesz kupić biletu z góry.

00:01:53.385 --> 00:01:59.765
But yes, you're right that for some trains you need like reservation in advance. Yeah?

00:02:00.745 --> 00:02:05.505
Ok. Dobrze, dobrze. To dzisiaj porozmawiamy o pociągu.

00:02:06.765 --> 00:02:09.045
The most important vocabulary.

00:02:11.125 --> 00:02:17.405
Najważniejsze słownictwo dla Was. Obviously, pociąg. Train, pociąg.

00:02:19.485 --> 00:02:25.605
If you're Turkish, you know that bilet is the same in Turkish and in Polish.

00:02:26.185 --> 00:02:27.945
So, yeah, bilet is ticket.

00:02:29.125 --> 00:02:35.205
And you've got the first and second class? Yes, exactly, first and second class.

00:02:35.725 --> 00:02:39.225
Yes, second class is economic, right?

00:02:42.005 --> 00:02:48.525
Okay. I co jeszcze? Mamy wagon. Carriage. Yes. Carriage.

00:02:48.985 --> 00:02:51.005
Wagon numer osiem.

00:02:51.905 --> 00:02:58.165
Yes, etc. And seat number. I miejsce numer dwadzieścia.

00:02:58.485 --> 00:03:00.785
Yes. Also we have like vocabulary.

00:03:02.485 --> 00:03:09.365
Na. Oh my gosh. I even forgot. I even forgot, because I didn't drive a car long ago.

00:03:10.985 --> 00:03:13.985
But yes, there is a place next to the window.

00:03:14.385 --> 00:03:19.625
Yes, at the door, at the door, around the door, and probably the middle.

00:03:20.885 --> 00:03:22.745
The lanes. Yes.

00:03:24.545 --> 00:03:30.085
So usually when you buy tickets like this in these trains in advance,

00:03:30.365 --> 00:03:32.525
there is like the middle or the middle.

00:03:32.525 --> 00:03:40.725
So środek like middle and okno, window yeah, exactly sometimes also in the corridor,

00:03:42.205 --> 00:03:53.025
but they're the worst places it is called korytarz but sometimes also there's places without yes,

00:03:53.285 --> 00:03:59.645
sometimes there's like overbooking so there's no places so musisz siedzieć na

00:03:59.645 --> 00:04:03.385
podłodze you have to sit on the floor — Niedobrze.

00:04:03.705 --> 00:04:06.185
— Niedobrze. Niestety...

00:04:06.971 --> 00:04:11.771
I have such experience. You have that experience, yeah. Yes.

00:04:13.171 --> 00:04:23.391
I bought it late and unfortunately I had to sit on my bagage, basically.

00:04:25.611 --> 00:04:29.511
On my suitcase, you know. On my balista.

00:04:30.271 --> 00:04:33.151
Unfortunately. But not so bad at all.

00:04:33.591 --> 00:04:38.571
But, okay. Godzina? Dwie godziny? Maksymalnie, maximum.

00:04:39.871 --> 00:04:43.411
Ale więcej nie mogłabym. I could never.

00:04:44.751 --> 00:04:51.731
Okay. Really, really common when it comes to Polish train. Delay.

00:04:52.271 --> 00:04:54.251
Yes, we call it opóźnienie.

00:04:54.851 --> 00:04:58.271
Opóźnienie. Yeah. Usually when you're at the railway station,

00:04:58.271 --> 00:05:00.711
you can hear some announcements.

00:05:02.111 --> 00:05:03.831
Komunikaty, tak? Ogłoszenia.

00:05:08.631 --> 00:05:14.431
So basically it means that the train is 45 minutes late. Yes.

00:05:14.971 --> 00:05:19.291
Sometimes, yes, it is like directly pociąg ma, yes,

00:05:19.811 --> 00:05:27.271
pociąg, like the train has, yes, a 45 minutes delay, but a 45 minutes late,

00:05:27.691 --> 00:05:33.651
but also pociąg jest opóźniony, 45 minutes in passive voice.

00:05:33.831 --> 00:05:40.431
Yeah, the train is delayed by 45 minutes.

00:05:41.131 --> 00:05:45.331
Yeah, sometimes it happens. Sometimes it happens.

00:05:46.351 --> 00:05:50.371
And like fabric, it's a new station.

00:05:51.351 --> 00:05:54.391
Fabric. Yes, it's beautiful and everything is in the middle.

00:05:54.651 --> 00:06:01.991
But I was on one train on Perron and I waited and it was minus 20.

00:06:01.991 --> 00:06:09.051
And it was really bad for me.

00:06:09.171 --> 00:06:11.891
20 minutes is still great.

00:06:12.251 --> 00:06:14.391
And minus 20 degrees.

00:06:15.691 --> 00:06:19.331
Okay, okay, good. Yes. Okay, okay.

00:06:20.011 --> 00:06:23.371
It's late and it's not good for me. Okay, that's not good, that's true.

00:06:24.011 --> 00:06:34.851
But my worst experience with trains, it was three hours no even more around four yeah,

00:06:35.671 --> 00:06:42.151
but it was summer but also like whole you know I just took a train from the south.

00:06:44.971 --> 00:06:48.351
I live in the north,

00:06:49.156 --> 00:06:56.456
All day. All day in the train. So it was... It was a nightmare.

00:06:57.736 --> 00:07:02.996
And also in the morning you have to have a bag in front of you. A summer nightmare.

00:07:03.536 --> 00:07:07.456
Yes, when you have to have a bag in front of you.

00:07:07.696 --> 00:07:12.376
But in the summer, there is no time when you wait. You don't have that many bag.

00:07:12.776 --> 00:07:18.736
So it's a problem too, because for example, when you have to have a bag in front of you all the time.

00:07:19.156 --> 00:07:21.176
Yeah, yeah, true.

00:07:22.016 --> 00:07:29.056
Okay, and for example, before announcement about delay, we sometimes hear something

00:07:29.056 --> 00:07:35.416
like Pociąg z Berlina do Warszawy o numerze bla bla bla bla.

00:07:36.136 --> 00:07:38.696
Niestety nie, ja zawsze słucham.

00:07:40.216 --> 00:07:43.956
Yes. Nie rozumiem nic. yes

00:07:43.956 --> 00:07:47.496
many many stations unfortunately the sound

00:07:47.496 --> 00:07:50.916
the sound is not the best one but if

00:07:50.916 --> 00:07:53.996
it's clear you can hear like this and sometimes

00:07:53.996 --> 00:07:57.996
even in poland many many trains like this this trains there's better trains

00:07:57.996 --> 00:08:04.136
where where where you have to book in advance yes your train they have some

00:08:04.136 --> 00:08:10.796
names yes for example the names of the queen of the of the kings sobieski yes

00:08:10.796 --> 00:08:11.876
it is the train, for example,

00:08:12.436 --> 00:08:14.716
which goes to Vienna, yeah?

00:08:15.376 --> 00:08:17.796
It is related to history. Who knows?

00:08:18.696 --> 00:08:24.856
So, first of all, pociąg sobieski, tak? Z Warszawy do Wiednia, yes?

00:08:25.036 --> 00:08:28.996
On numerze, yeah. So, these kinds of announcements you can hear.

00:08:29.736 --> 00:08:35.276
And, to the previous slide, we also have zaopóźnienie pociągu.

00:08:35.796 --> 00:08:39.856
Przepraszamy. Yes? We are sorry for the train beating the engine.

00:08:40.416 --> 00:08:44.376
Exactly. Many times, even if it's not about my train.

00:08:45.016 --> 00:08:49.776
When I'm just at railway station, kiedy jestem na dworcu, słyszę to często.

00:08:50.336 --> 00:08:52.516
Za później pociągu, przepraszamy.

00:08:53.616 --> 00:08:57.896
Aki? And the last thing, which I would like to give you from vocabulary,

00:08:58.956 --> 00:09:06.556
it's a thing that in this texture, in this like fancy trains,

00:09:06.956 --> 00:09:09.816
w tych takich lepszych pociągach, tak?

00:09:13.636 --> 00:09:19.696
It comes from word restauracja. Yeah, so it's like diner. Diner, yeah.

00:09:20.356 --> 00:09:24.056
It's like a carriage for eating, basically.

00:09:25.196 --> 00:09:30.676
If you don't remember, if you don't remember, you can say wagon from eating.

00:09:31.856 --> 00:09:35.016
It's just wagon, but I don't know what it is for polsko. You know,

00:09:35.076 --> 00:09:39.576
the person that normally has like a canapka, a drink, water, water or such.

00:09:39.816 --> 00:09:42.016
What? It's like smart you call that in Polish.

00:09:43.106 --> 00:09:46.206
Really? I forgot. Zapomniałam.

00:09:46.546 --> 00:09:51.686
Tak, but it is like this thing, where's the fur? It is called wózek.

00:09:52.166 --> 00:09:56.746
So like usually, yes. For example, like, yeah. Like if pram is a wózek też, you know? Yeah.

00:09:57.966 --> 00:10:04.406
Pan or pani wózkiem jeździ z takim wózkiem restauracyjnym, tak?

00:10:04.646 --> 00:10:06.726
I na przykład się pyta. Tak, zgadza się.

00:10:07.486 --> 00:10:12.426
So, like, if you like to translate directly, like restaurants,

00:10:12.966 --> 00:10:15.446
carriage, yeah? It's like dinner, yeah?

00:10:16.206 --> 00:10:22.026
And now is the word which I've learned lately. Really, jestem Polką.

00:10:22.206 --> 00:10:29.286
I'm Polish, but for 20 years, przez 20 lat, nie słyszałam tego słowa.

00:10:30.286 --> 00:10:36.706
Jest to słowo for sleeper. Yes, for the carriage where you can sleep.

00:10:37.046 --> 00:10:39.366
In Polish, we call it kuszetka.

00:10:41.066 --> 00:10:41.786
Exactly.

00:10:44.066 --> 00:10:53.686
I used to say wagon z łóżkami like carry two beds and it's also cool if you just forget,

00:10:54.826 --> 00:11:04.106
don't worry I'm Polish, I'm 20 and I just bumped into this word lately so no

00:11:04.106 --> 00:11:09.806
worries uczymy się całe życie we learn Yeah, we learn all our life.
