Jak tam? Wszystko dobrze? Wszystko dobrze.

00:00:29.277 --> 00:00:32.817
I'm happy. Nothing new.

00:00:34.497 --> 00:00:38.617
No. It's old. Good.

00:00:40.557 --> 00:00:48.137
Today I've prepared a podcast about living in our homes.

00:00:48.537 --> 00:00:54.737
Today I've prepared a podcast about rooms. The type of rooms in our house, yeah.

00:00:54.877 --> 00:00:57.917
I didn't, that's the first time I looked at this room.

00:00:59.057 --> 00:01:04.977
Yes, the room is basically, we don't say like, my room, yes,

00:01:05.097 --> 00:01:10.697
usually we say just my room or something, but like formal way of room, right?

00:01:11.577 --> 00:01:21.557
Yeah, okay. So, the first, the first room in the house, for the kitchen.

00:01:22.557 --> 00:01:25.277
Maybe not the first one, I know that they are more important,

00:01:25.917 --> 00:01:28.697
but we know that there we eat.

00:01:28.977 --> 00:01:32.237
So it's important, that's why it's important.

00:01:33.177 --> 00:01:40.597
And if it's about kitchen, also dining room, it's dining room.

00:01:43.457 --> 00:01:50.437
So sometimes there are some rooms which are like kitchen is together with dining

00:01:50.437 --> 00:01:53.017
room, yes. np. kuchnia z jadalnią, tak?

00:01:53.397 --> 00:01:59.557
Kuchnia z jadalnią, tak? Oczywiście, like, obviously, it's not like must have

00:01:59.557 --> 00:02:02.017
room at house, I would say, yeah.

00:02:02.717 --> 00:02:09.757
Salon, salon, w salonie często też jemy, tak? To jest nasz dining room at the same time.

00:02:10.437 --> 00:02:14.717
Ale, ale słowo istnieje, dlatego to pokazuje.

00:02:15.677 --> 00:02:23.917
Dobrze. Następnie mamy and nextly, pokój, as I said, pokój, room, yeah, tak.

00:02:24.177 --> 00:02:30.497
For example, to mieszkanie ma trzy pokoje. Yes, like this lab has three rooms.

00:02:31.097 --> 00:02:36.937
To mieszkanie ma trzy pokoje. Living room, basically, we call it,

00:02:37.587 --> 00:02:45.347
salon, tak? Nazywamy salon. Często też, all so often, duży pokój.

00:02:45.747 --> 00:02:51.287
Duży pokój. If you would like to translate it directly, it will be like...

00:02:51.287 --> 00:02:52.967
Big room. Big room, yeah.

00:02:53.507 --> 00:03:00.367
Exactly, but Polish people, when we say w dużym pokoju, it's obvious for us

00:03:00.367 --> 00:03:05.007
that it's like in the salon, like in the biggest room at the house, yeah?

00:03:06.067 --> 00:03:12.567
So it's pretty clear. W dużym pokoju, tak? A gdzie zostawiłeś klucze?

00:03:12.807 --> 00:03:18.387
Gdzie zostawiłeś klucze? A w dużym pokoju, zobacz, tak? Na stoliku. Yes.

00:03:19.047 --> 00:03:24.387
Etcetera, etcetera. I dużo ludzi ma sypanie też na salon.

00:03:24.687 --> 00:03:29.047
Tak, tak. W Irlandzie nigdy, tak nigdy oglądałam.

00:03:29.207 --> 00:03:34.647
Ale tutaj dużo ludzi ma, to jest może rodzina, to sleep in the salon.

00:03:35.507 --> 00:03:38.687
Yes, yes, yes. Later we will talk about it.

00:03:38.807 --> 00:03:43.807
Later we will be talking about that we have a separate room for a bedroom.

00:03:44.787 --> 00:03:49.947
As you said, many people also when there are some smaller flats in Poland we

00:03:49.947 --> 00:03:53.607
also live we also sleep in the living room.

00:03:53.787 --> 00:03:57.307
But many times we have a separate bedroom.

00:03:58.387 --> 00:04:04.867
And sometimes really, really rarely you can bump into pokój dzienny.

00:04:06.287 --> 00:04:10.547
Is an adjective from the word day,

00:04:11.527 --> 00:04:22.107
so pokój dzienny but I do not recommend really I know the dictionaries can show you it but nobody,

00:04:23.227 --> 00:04:31.267
like really nobody uses it really as a Polish I can say that Spokój dzienny

00:04:31.267 --> 00:04:36.367
sounds so unaturally in the spoken language and not only.

00:04:37.353 --> 00:04:42.493
So I don't recommend the most common salon or duży pokój.

00:04:42.813 --> 00:04:46.653
In formal situation, you can meet with it. Yeah?

00:04:47.733 --> 00:04:53.033
Okay. Łazienka. Łazienka. Bathroom. Tak?

00:04:54.233 --> 00:05:01.093
Łazienka. Also like must have room. Yes. Like in every house. In every apartment.

00:05:02.313 --> 00:05:07.873
Tak. And we also have a similar word to the English word.

00:05:08.413 --> 00:05:13.913
It's the word toilet. As a toilet. For example... Who's TESH? WC.

00:05:14.133 --> 00:05:17.293
Sometimes people... At least usually in a restaurant you say WC,

00:05:17.413 --> 00:05:19.013
but sometimes water closet.

00:05:20.313 --> 00:05:27.733
Exactly. For example, when you go to the restaurants, you can see both. Like WC or toilet.

00:05:28.433 --> 00:05:36.273
It's up to place. But, yeah, when you, for example, see some estate,

00:05:36.553 --> 00:05:41.753
like, offers, yeah, you can see there łazienka z toaletą.

00:05:41.913 --> 00:05:43.873
So it means, like, it's, like, together, yeah.

00:05:45.233 --> 00:05:52.293
Or łazienka i toaleta. That means that kibelek jest osobno, tak?

00:05:53.693 --> 00:06:01.413
OK. Dobra. Przedpokój, hallway, yeah, and korytarz, corridor.

00:06:02.873 --> 00:06:13.673
Basically the word means like before yeah before so przed before room hallway

00:06:13.673 --> 00:06:17.573
i korytarz is a corridor yeah.

00:06:19.833 --> 00:06:28.493
Basically we use both yes like usually korytarz more likely when it comes to

00:06:28.493 --> 00:06:34.133
like detached houses you know So, przedpokój, usually when it comes to flats,

00:06:34.373 --> 00:06:36.913
like, yes, like in a block of flats, przedpokój.

00:06:37.993 --> 00:06:42.953
But you can see both.

00:06:44.693 --> 00:06:50.573
Dobrze. I tutaj wspomniana wcześniej sypialnia. Bedroom. Yeah, sypialnia.

00:06:51.493 --> 00:06:56.713
Tutaj mamy łóżko. Lampka nocna. Tak? Stoliczek.

00:06:58.013 --> 00:06:58.413
Dywan.

00:07:00.013 --> 00:07:06.213
So yeah. Łóżko, bedroom. And mattress is similar. Is it mattress?

00:07:06.673 --> 00:07:09.213
Materac, yes, materac. Yeah.

00:07:10.493 --> 00:07:16.353
To na czym śpimy, tak? Łóżko, łóżko ma materac. Zgadza się, zgadza się. Dywan, carpet, yeah.

00:07:17.013 --> 00:07:22.773
Stoliczek is like this little, little... It's like bedside locker kind of thing. Yes, exactly, exactly.

00:07:24.013 --> 00:07:27.373
Stolic nocny, usually we call it nocny, like from adjective,

00:07:27.693 --> 00:07:30.313
an adjective from the word night. Yes, noc, nocny.

00:07:30.833 --> 00:07:35.753
Stoliczek nocny, or just stolik, stoliczek. Yes, it's up to person.

00:07:36.213 --> 00:07:41.553
And I know that it's not a... to nie jest pomieszczenie, na przykład balkon, tak?

00:07:41.873 --> 00:07:47.793
Ale chciałam o tym wspomnieć, że jest bardzo podobne, tak? Balcon, balcony.

00:07:48.913 --> 00:07:51.333
Miejszy, większy, smaller, bigger.

00:07:52.773 --> 00:07:58.673
Piwnica, piwnica is basement, nie zawsze jest, prawda, nie zawsze not always

00:08:02.793 --> 00:08:08.573
tak, też nie zawsze zazwyczaj, zazwyczaj w domkach usually like in the houses, like the houses,

00:08:08.953 --> 00:08:13.453
yeah ale czasem też są przy blokach next to block of flats, yes,

00:08:13.493 --> 00:08:16.613
