Cześć Marta. Cześć, Roy.

00:00:31.237 --> 00:00:35.977
Jak tam? Wszystko dobrze? Wszystko w porządku. W porządku.

00:00:36.477 --> 00:00:39.697
Nothing new. Nic nowego. Nic nowego. Nic nowego.

00:00:40.857 --> 00:00:51.297
Ok. Dzisiaj przygotowałam dla Was prezentację na temat bus stop.

00:00:52.117 --> 00:00:54.057
Na temat przystanku, tak?

00:01:00.837 --> 00:01:06.917
Exactly. If you come to Poland, if you come to Poland, it's important, right?

00:01:08.257 --> 00:01:14.197
Okay. So at the bus stop, at the bus stop, we wait for you.

00:01:14.637 --> 00:01:19.877
Yes, bus stop. Yes, bus stop. Yes, exactly.

00:01:20.417 --> 00:01:28.377
Okay. So, as I said, bus stop is przystanek adjectives autobusowy because could

00:01:28.377 --> 00:01:32.237
be pociągowy like train, yes, train stop, etc.

00:01:33.737 --> 00:01:42.337
Yes, but usually when we talk when we talk about bus stop, przystanek is enough when we say przystanek.

00:01:42.437 --> 00:01:46.937
We don't have to point out it's like autobusowy, yes? Just przystanek, yes?

00:01:47.437 --> 00:01:51.537
Czekam na przystanku, yeah? Where? Gdzie? Etc, etc, etc.

00:01:53.717 --> 00:02:00.057
What is important? A useful word. Rozkład. Rozkład jazdy. Yes?

00:02:00.557 --> 00:02:02.377
So it's like a timetable.

00:02:02.897 --> 00:02:06.657
Rozkład jazdy. Tak. Rozkład jazdy.

00:02:07.117 --> 00:02:12.337
And for example, sprawdzisz? Sprawdzisz rozkład? Rozkład? Tak?

00:02:13.236 --> 00:02:17.796
Yes, because everything has to be changed. Exactly.

00:02:20.796 --> 00:02:28.916
And it also depends on the day. In Poland, from Monday to Friday, there is another one.

00:02:29.336 --> 00:02:31.056
In Saturday, there is another one.

00:02:31.536 --> 00:02:35.036
And in Saturday, there is another one. I think it also depends on the city.

00:02:35.256 --> 00:02:37.676
It depends. It's up to the city also, yeah?

00:02:38.616 --> 00:02:43.196
But yeah, also the same situation like was with a bus stop.

00:02:43.396 --> 00:02:47.256
We just say sometimes, say in short, rozkład, tak? Sprawdź rozkład.

00:02:47.696 --> 00:02:51.416
Yes, pod rozkład jazdy is like more particular. Yeah.

00:02:52.396 --> 00:02:54.816
So tak, rozkład. Okay.

00:02:55.936 --> 00:03:00.176
As you mentioned, linia, tak? Linia is like a line.

00:03:00.956 --> 00:03:05.376
Jaką linią dojadę na lotnisko? Jaką linią dojadę na lotnisko? Yes?

00:03:05.976 --> 00:03:08.816
Like, like, which line will I get to the airport? Yes?

00:03:09.416 --> 00:03:13.916
Basically, the verb, like, dojechać, dojechać is like to get there,

00:03:14.396 --> 00:03:16.756
to get, get to some, some, somewhere. Yes?

00:03:17.896 --> 00:03:20.616
Linie dojechać do miasto, na przykład. Tak, tak.

00:03:21.236 --> 00:03:24.756
Jaką linią mogę dojechać, tak? Na to lotnisko.

00:03:25.056 --> 00:03:29.776
Yeah? Probably, basically, when you'll be in Warsaw, if you're in Warsaw,

00:03:31.096 --> 00:03:36.636
Chopin Airport, the Latinx Chopina, is very well located.

00:03:37.116 --> 00:03:41.396
It's really well located. Because it's in the center.

00:03:43.116 --> 00:03:46.496
But Modlin is far away. Modlin is far away.

00:03:47.536 --> 00:03:50.916
There's Ryan Airbinger in a Modlin. Yes.

00:03:51.176 --> 00:03:54.516
Obviously, if you just... It's not so bad at all.

00:03:54.516 --> 00:04:01.856
Because these days, dzisiaj są pociągi na Modlin, do Modlina, ale ogólnie,

00:04:02.136 --> 00:04:09.316
ogólnie lepiej na Chopinie, jeśli mogą lądować na Chopinie, bo tam jest taka

00:04:09.316 --> 00:04:12.076
linia, ja nawet korzystałam kilka razy,

00:04:12.696 --> 00:04:19.556
175 i stamtąd, prosto do centrum, pod Pałac Kultury się dostaniecie.

00:04:21.436 --> 00:04:25.516
Dojedziecie z tego lotniska. But there are also boats.

00:04:26.336 --> 00:04:33.736
And there are also 20 minutes and it's already in the heart of Warsaw. So, shot in is super.

00:04:34.336 --> 00:04:35.856
If it's a good thing.

00:04:36.676 --> 00:04:42.816
And even views from the plane. Also, the plane's plane is just super.

00:04:44.256 --> 00:04:51.276
Okay. So, line number... And so, the plane's plane is just super. Okay.

00:04:52.999 --> 00:04:57.739
If you like to get rest at the bus stop.

00:05:01.219 --> 00:05:04.759
To jest ławka, zazwyczaj, bench.

00:05:05.899 --> 00:05:11.379
Sometimes it's occupied, but usually it's free.

00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:14.699
So, na przykład, poczekajmy na ławce.

00:05:15.999 --> 00:05:17.639
Let's wait on the bench.

00:05:19.919 --> 00:05:26.499
Sometimes yes sometimes people soften up this word and they say like ławeczka,

00:05:28.399 --> 00:05:35.999
yes like when we have for example łyżka, spoon and teaspoon like łyżeczka so

00:05:35.999 --> 00:05:38.179
here's a similar situation like ławeczka,

00:05:39.699 --> 00:05:45.299
okay and for example when it comes to words which is really important I would

00:05:45.299 --> 00:05:49.499
say it's like to arrive arrive, przyjechać, tak?

00:05:49.999 --> 00:05:53.279
So, o której przyjedzie autobus? O której przyjedzie autobus?

00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.559
Sprawdzisz? Will you check?

00:05:55.159 --> 00:06:02.419
What time will the boss arrive? Ja? O której przyjedzie autobus? O, nie wiem.

00:06:04.019 --> 00:06:09.539
Tak, tak. Bo czasami, ludzi, kto pracuje, nie mówi po angielsku.

00:06:09.659 --> 00:06:10.899
So jest lepsze, kiedy wie.

00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:22.399
Tak, tak. I też trzeba uważać, bo aplikacje czasem nie są równe tym rozkładom na przystankach.

00:06:22.599 --> 00:06:27.799
Yes, sometimes like app don't show the same as like at the bus stop.

00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:35.619
Timetables sometimes are different on app and at the bus stop it's also weird. But it happens.

00:06:37.499 --> 00:06:42.919
Ok. Spóźnia się. It's running late. Spóźnia się. It's running late.

00:06:43.419 --> 00:06:50.219
Or the bus is late. yes, autobus się spóźnia it's really common especially when

00:06:50.219 --> 00:06:51.559
there are like big hours,

00:06:52.119 --> 00:06:57.839
yes, in Warsaw basically big cities in Łódź, when I was in Łódź kiedy byłam

00:06:57.839 --> 00:07:05.039
w Łodzi rozkład jazdy w ogóle coś innego niż rzeczywistość.

00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:13.099
So yeah and the last thing which you can see you can see this,

00:07:13.859 --> 00:07:21.499
picture yes at the bus stop zakaz spalenia which is which means no smoking obviously

00:07:21.499 --> 00:07:24.299
people smoke even though,

00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:28.379
like but basically it's forbidden yeah,

00:07:29.189 --> 00:07:32.809
And what's vaping? Because you're not alone.

00:07:33.069 --> 00:07:40.229
Yes, yes, yes. These days also it's like zakaz spalenia i tam wejpowania. Wejpowania, okay.

00:07:41.349 --> 00:07:46.109
Like when it comes to vaping, yes. Like these days they made it more Polish

00:07:46.109 --> 00:07:49.769
and also we have like own verb for vaping.

00:07:50.049 --> 00:07:55.029
Like wejpowanie. Yes, or just spalenia papierosów elektronicznych.

00:07:55.489 --> 00:07:58.589
Like cigarettes, yes. so yeah so usually

00:07:58.589 --> 00:08:05.449
it's like they these days they draw like normal cigarettes and like a cigarette

00:08:05.449 --> 00:08:14.769
together so so it's forbidden but people unfortunately do it still but you Lepiej

00:08:14.769 --> 00:08:17.269
nie, lepiej nie, bo mandat.

00:08:17.749 --> 00:08:22.469
Yeah, bez mandat to jest tylko ten wak. And care about others,

00:08:22.649 --> 00:08:26.749
because not everybody, nie każdy lubi, tak, zapach.

00:08:27.309 --> 00:08:30.309
The smoke, yeah. The smell of smoking.

00:08:31.749 --> 00:08:35.469
Okay, i to by było wszystko. Dziękuję ślicznie. Dziękuję bardzo.

00:08:35.989 --> 00:08:38.509

00:08:38.609 --> 00:08:39.789
