CzeÅÄ, Roy. Jak tam? Wszystko dobrze? Dzisiaj nie, nie bardzo,
00:00:47.497 --> 00:00:48.877
bo spadÅ deszcz caÅy czas.
00:00:49.597 --> 00:00:52.997
Ale to dobrze, bo deszczu też potrzeba.
00:00:54.157 --> 00:00:57.617
It's like, ja myÅlÄ, że jestem w domu w Irlandie.
00:01:06.737 --> 00:01:12.597
I would say. May was so ugly.
00:01:13.017 --> 00:01:15.217
Really. No.
00:01:17.897 --> 00:01:23.677
It is. What is it? What is it? What is it? And today, Today we are going to
00:01:23.677 --> 00:01:26.357
talk about transport conditions.
00:01:28.517 --> 00:01:31.297
What means means of transport? Yeah?
00:01:32.597 --> 00:01:35.777
Okay. So let's start.
00:01:36.417 --> 00:01:43.657
One of the first and the most common for sure. Na pewno to jest samochód, tak?
00:01:45.057 --> 00:01:53.097
Najbardziej powszechny, najbardziej popularny Årodek transport samochód albo auto.
00:01:53.377 --> 00:01:55.397
We use like two words.
00:01:56.017 --> 00:01:59.797
Auto is also German word for a car.
00:02:00.557 --> 00:02:04.697
So samochód, the difference is there when it comes to conjugation, declension.
00:02:05.317 --> 00:02:09.997
Samochód is masculine. Auto is neuter. Yeah.
00:02:10.577 --> 00:02:16.117
And what is more, a little reminder, then we are talking about some means of transport.
00:02:16.417 --> 00:02:23.857
We use instrumental case, for example, jadÄ samochodem, jadÄ autem, jadÄ...
00:02:24.534 --> 00:02:28.834
I don't know, autobus, yeah, etc., etc.
00:02:29.114 --> 00:02:33.274
So we use when it comes to means of transport, instrumental case.
00:02:33.854 --> 00:02:40.794
Okay, let's continue. As I mentioned, autobus, autobus is bus.
00:02:41.234 --> 00:02:46.174
Yeah, so we just can think about the word auto and bus.
00:02:46.554 --> 00:02:49.914
The motorway is autostrad as well, isn't it?
00:02:50.454 --> 00:02:56.834
Could you repeat? The motorway is autostrad, isn't it? Yes, autostrada. Yes, yes.
00:02:57.434 --> 00:03:03.534
Basically, I think that autostrady in Poland, they're not so common at all.
00:03:03.894 --> 00:03:08.074
Because we have some speed limits. Not, for example, in Germany,
00:03:08.214 --> 00:03:12.434
there are no speed limits on the roads. Here they are.
00:03:13.254 --> 00:03:17.154
But yeah. But yeah. It's 110 kilometers. It's not good.
00:03:18.274 --> 00:03:19.634
Right, right, right.
00:03:21.374 --> 00:03:28.914
So basically, we call it bus. but I will also for example some local buses yes like at the city,
00:03:29.694 --> 00:03:33.174
but we also have the word bus yes
00:03:33.174 --> 00:03:36.374
for bus but there's like the little ones yes
00:03:36.374 --> 00:03:43.474
for example between cities etc etc you can see you can tell the difference between
00:03:43.474 --> 00:03:51.574
between these pictures yes this one is bigger I would know how to say the smaller
00:03:51.574 --> 00:03:55.494
one but I see it It would be peaceful. Just call him a small bus.
00:03:56.094 --> 00:04:02.454
Yes, exactly, small bus. But also, I can say that sÅowo bus exists also in slang.
00:04:03.174 --> 00:04:05.834
For example, jedziemy busem. Jedziemy busem.
00:04:06.994 --> 00:04:11.114
When we say it, we're thinking about this bigger one.
00:04:11.294 --> 00:04:15.614
But in slang, we just call it busem because it's shorter.
00:04:16.014 --> 00:04:17.354
Yes, it's the same.
00:04:18.374 --> 00:04:22.074
So, for example, jedziemy busem czy tramwajem, for example.
00:04:23.174 --> 00:04:27.654
Ok so autobus bus bus is smaller ok,
00:04:28.981 --> 00:04:35.201
Autokar is coach. Yes, for some long distance, let's say, trips.
00:04:36.161 --> 00:04:40.041
One of the popular probably is Flixboss.
00:04:42.401 --> 00:04:47.201
Advertisement. Obviously, I'm kidding. So, for example, jedziemy autokarem?
00:04:48.041 --> 00:04:55.781
Czy lecimy samolotem, tak? Yes, in Poland, I would say that coachs are really common still.
00:04:56.521 --> 00:05:01.061
Autokary sÄ popularne. But they are more expensive.
00:05:04.681 --> 00:05:15.681
I would say, than trains. Autocarem there are no student discounts when you choose coach in Poland.
00:05:16.361 --> 00:05:23.261
So, for example, I would prefer to go by coach.
00:05:23.681 --> 00:05:25.501
Roy, do you sometimes drive?
00:05:26.241 --> 00:05:32.541
Or rarely? Very rarely, it's not easy for me, I always feel good for me,
00:05:32.861 --> 00:05:38.021
for example, when I go to Narda or something, it's like 12 hours,
00:05:38.621 --> 00:05:43.481
maximum 3-4 hours, because I was from Wodzie to Berlin, 6 hours,
00:05:43.601 --> 00:05:47.841
it was not good for me, because now everything is on the phone,
00:05:48.181 --> 00:05:54.201
and sometimes people talk a lot, but I can't sleep,
00:05:54.661 --> 00:05:57.061
so for me it's not easy for me.
00:05:58.261 --> 00:06:02.681
Probably you use it when you are abroad. Probably, yes.
00:06:03.601 --> 00:06:06.941
Kiedy jesteÅ za granicÄ , pewnie, co? No, dokÅadnie. GdzieÅ tam,
00:06:07.361 --> 00:06:10.341
jak potrzeba. If there is a... Okay.
00:06:11.461 --> 00:06:18.541
So, autokar. Autokar. Still, like this word includes, yes, auto. Auto, yeah. Autokar.
00:06:19.341 --> 00:06:27.881
Autokar. Okay. And one of the last, the last word for today is samolot. samolot, plane.
00:06:28.161 --> 00:06:33.561
Yeah, so lubiÄ lataÄ samolotem. I like, yes, flying by plane, yeah.
00:06:34.241 --> 00:06:39.061
Or bojÄ siÄ lataÄ samolotem. Do you know what does it mean? BojÄ baÄ siÄ.
00:06:39.281 --> 00:06:41.641
You're afraid of flying? Yes, exactly.
00:06:42.481 --> 00:06:46.421
Are you? Bojysz siÄ czy raczej nie? Lubisz? Very good.
00:06:47.121 --> 00:06:55.421
Ja lubiÄ samolot, ale przed na lotnisko, bo to jest dużo czas i czekasz na lina
00:06:55.421 --> 00:06:58.801
It's a queuing up. At prava, tak, at prava.
00:07:00.001 --> 00:07:04.141
Krone, just confirmat, tak, ja.
00:07:06.017 --> 00:07:11.677
Yeah. A czy ty zazwyczaj latasz z Åodzi czy z innych miast?
00:07:12.717 --> 00:07:19.017
Dla mnie lepiej w Åodzi, bo na przykÅad kiedy Warszawa or WrocÅaw or coÅ,
00:07:19.157 --> 00:07:27.337
musisz na otoczcie nie tylko czas do lotnisku, ale może byÄ upadek i musi byÄ proste dwie godziny.
00:07:28.617 --> 00:07:34.377
Kiedy jest dwie godziny, zawsze nie jest upadek. and it's always 4 hours for
00:07:34.377 --> 00:07:36.577
a lot of people, and that's not good.
00:07:36.757 --> 00:07:45.597
So when I'm in Åodzi, it's better for me, but there's not a lot of outpouring from our lotnisko.
00:07:46.017 --> 00:07:53.797
Get it, get it. Basically, I saw that the lotnisko in Åodzi is very developed.
00:07:54.517 --> 00:08:01.837
There are more planes. Like the airport in Åódź, it develops all the time.
00:08:02.317 --> 00:08:06.117
I see there's like more and more flights year by year.
00:08:07.177 --> 00:08:12.137
I pamiÄtaj. Remember, be careful. Not upadek, but wypadek.
00:08:12.317 --> 00:08:16.677
When it comes to accidents, accidents, for example, car accident, it's wypadek.
00:08:17.377 --> 00:08:20.977
Upadek means something different. It's like fall. Like, for example,
00:08:21.117 --> 00:08:23.117
upaÅÄ is like to fall, tak?
00:08:24.037 --> 00:08:30.977
On upadÅ i zÅamaÅ nogÄ, for example. Yes, like he fell and he broke his leg.
00:08:31.317 --> 00:08:38.837
Yeah. so be careful yes, in case it's problematic when we have to go to the
00:08:38.837 --> 00:08:43.577
plane somewhere else and something can happen something can happen.
00:08:44.937 --> 00:08:51.697
Even the same when it comes to trains sometimes there are delays so exactly,
00:08:52.637 --> 00:08:55.377
and it was all when it comes to means of
00:08:55.377 --> 00:08:58.157
transport which I prepared for the day
00:08:58.157 --> 00:09:01.977
