00:00:34.317 --> 00:00:36.417
Cześć Marta. Cześć Troj.

00:00:37.317 --> 00:00:40.277
Co tam? Co, makijaż dla mnie, tak?

00:00:41.197 --> 00:00:47.577
Tak. Tak, dzisiaj mamy kobiecy temat. Ja.

00:00:48.397 --> 00:00:57.977
Nie wiem, czasami mężczyźni też. But I believe that men are interested in the topic.

00:00:58.317 --> 00:01:04.317
Maybe they have a girl from Poland and they need to buy something.

00:01:04.757 --> 00:01:12.577
But we don't know when they are interested in it. So today I'm in Polish Makeup and Polish.

00:01:13.077 --> 00:01:15.297
And one of the first words.

00:01:16.576 --> 00:01:20.036
Verb is to wear makeup yes and

00:01:20.036 --> 00:01:25.976
it is like malować się malować się yeah and is that kind of like to put it on

00:01:25.976 --> 00:01:31.896
malować się no yes yes exactly and sometimes you also use like uh robię makijaż

00:01:31.896 --> 00:01:38.836
yeah i do my makeup yeah uh yes but um this one is more natural more more common for example.

00:01:42.336 --> 00:01:48.176
So I'm just putting, yeah? I put my makeup only when I go to work, etc., etc.

00:01:48.776 --> 00:01:56.956
And here, for example, is the sentence. I don't put on makeup every day, is it?

00:01:57.076 --> 00:01:59.936
Yeah, exactly, exactly. So we're trying malować.

00:02:00.756 --> 00:02:08.096
Also malować without this pronoun means like, for example, we can możesz malować

00:02:08.096 --> 00:02:10.796
ściany you can paint the walls yeah?

00:02:11.456 --> 00:02:16.236
Paint, paint the walls yeah? so malować also is like to paint yeah?

00:02:17.176 --> 00:02:21.376
But in this context it's obviously about make-up ok?

00:02:22.056 --> 00:02:32.216
One of the first things jedną z pierwszych rzeczy których akurat ja nie używam już to jest podkład,

00:02:33.436 --> 00:02:37.016
pod is like basically under

00:02:37.016 --> 00:02:40.076
yes and it's not similar to like a dom

00:02:40.076 --> 00:02:47.376
the foundation of a house is it the same order not really sometimes it's it's

00:02:47.376 --> 00:02:53.896
obviously this word podcast it's not only used for for for for makeup yeah you

00:02:53.896 --> 00:02:58.256
know i'm not sure when it comes to your version so i'm not gonna lie.

00:03:00.516 --> 00:03:05.116
Yes, but maybe yes. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. For example,

00:03:05.276 --> 00:03:08.236
I know that, for example, podkładka it's something...

00:03:09.293 --> 00:03:13.833
On the table when you eat and you just don't want to make mess,

00:03:13.913 --> 00:03:18.273
you know, on the table, don't like, and we want to avoid some,

00:03:18.573 --> 00:03:22.353
you know, crumbs and stuff. Yes, crumb stuff.

00:03:22.713 --> 00:03:28.073
Then you just, you just put, yes, down podkładki.

00:03:28.473 --> 00:03:30.413
Yeah? You've heard ever?

00:03:31.573 --> 00:03:39.333
Tak? Na przykład, na przykład nakrywam do stołu, yes z moją table mask kind of thing yeah,

00:03:40.013 --> 00:03:46.613
yes podkładka yes yes and every every każdy talerz ma swoją podkładkę na przykład

00:03:46.613 --> 00:03:53.153
table mask yeah but I know what about this meaning what you've said yeah so

00:03:53.153 --> 00:03:57.793
it's maybe exercise for our our listeners,

00:03:59.973 --> 00:04:09.173
i na przykład jaki podkład używasz yes it's like what foundation do you use jaki, jaki jaki numer.

00:04:12.993 --> 00:04:22.613
Jaki numer i tak dalej pięknie kryje so pięknie kryje it's like it covers well

00:04:22.613 --> 00:04:27.813
yes, like so cool kryć is like to cover, yeah.

00:04:29.553 --> 00:04:40.413
Exactly ok, the next one is tusz do rzęs or mascara and it's the same meaning like in English.

00:04:40.913 --> 00:04:46.353
Mascara is getting more popular these days.

00:04:46.933 --> 00:04:52.473
So if you don't if you just don't remember tusz do rzęs you just can use as

00:04:52.473 --> 00:04:54.433
a replacement which is mascara.

00:04:55.133 --> 00:05:01.873
Mascara, yeah, the same like in English. But also obviously we can use for example is tusz do brwi.

00:05:01.873 --> 00:05:05.253
Yes to bros and rzenk is eyelashes

00:05:05.253 --> 00:05:08.733
yeah yes yes yes yes exactly yes

00:05:08.733 --> 00:05:11.833
sometimes people stick them

00:05:11.833 --> 00:05:19.273
on what are they what would you call them the stick on yes yeah i know i know

00:05:19.273 --> 00:05:27.453
but basically yes rzenso rzenso rzenso and rzenso yeah plural so tush do rzenstush

00:05:27.453 --> 00:05:31.113
do brwi tush do again it's like this for,

00:05:31.313 --> 00:05:33.473
yeah. Okay.

00:05:34.608 --> 00:05:40.688
And cień do powiek. Cień do powiek is like eyeshadow.

00:05:41.288 --> 00:05:46.948
A plural way is cień do powiek. Yes? Powieka is shadow.

00:05:47.608 --> 00:05:51.748
Yes? No, like eyeshadow. Yeah? Mi sięduję. Yeah.

00:05:53.328 --> 00:05:59.568
Na przykład, jak ktoś już się starzeje, tak? To jest opadająca powieka. Yes?

00:05:59.968 --> 00:06:02.368
Like where's a lot of skin. Yes?

00:06:03.728 --> 00:06:10.288
Opadające powieki, tak? And the next one is puder. Puder is like powder.

00:06:10.748 --> 00:06:13.168
Yes, I would say that it's similar.

00:06:14.648 --> 00:06:19.048
Yeah, even the verb is like powder pudrować, tak?

00:06:19.608 --> 00:06:25.548
Na przykład, daj mi chwilę, tak? Muszę iść tam przy pudrować nosek, tak?

00:06:25.688 --> 00:06:28.088
Like my nose. I pudrować my nose.

00:06:29.908 --> 00:06:37.048
Bronzer is the same. But obviously we pronounce it like more Polish.

00:06:41.708 --> 00:06:47.308
So it comes from bronzowy.

00:06:48.888 --> 00:06:56.628
Bronzowy color, like brown color. Rozświetlacz is like a highlighter.

00:06:58.768 --> 00:07:02.248
And it's all, basically.

00:07:02.368 --> 00:07:09.068
Which one, which is not in the presentation also, but used to be on the channel

00:07:09.068 --> 00:07:13.268
already, is like pomadka, pomadka or szminka.

00:07:13.588 --> 00:07:18.628
Yes, so lipstick, szminka, szminka or pomadka.

00:07:20.375 --> 00:07:24.655
So, you have a beautiful nail polish.

00:07:25.295 --> 00:07:31.815
Ah, basically, yes, when it comes to nails, it's like paznokcie,

00:07:31.935 --> 00:07:34.015
paznokcie, paznokcieć jeden.

00:07:34.755 --> 00:07:42.275
But, yes, when it comes, oh, even I forgot in Polish now, lakier, lakier, yes?

00:07:42.595 --> 00:07:44.775
You have a beautiful lakier on the paznokcie, yes?

00:07:45.115 --> 00:07:46.955
It's like nail polish, yeah?

00:07:47.795 --> 00:07:53.555
Yeah. And just finally, because I see sometimes now like 95% of people have

00:07:53.555 --> 00:07:55.735
to stick on ones. What do you call them?

00:07:57.155 --> 00:08:01.075
Fake nails. What's that called? I don't know.

00:08:01.095 --> 00:08:04.615
It's the same in English, but it's used to like, we used to say like,

00:08:04.795 --> 00:08:07.235
tipse, tipse. Tipse, okay.

00:08:07.995 --> 00:08:10.815
Like tipse, like nafifki.

00:08:12.355 --> 00:08:16.155
But tipse, tipse. Yeah, basically, you know, we just say like,

00:08:16.715 --> 00:08:19.995
fake, fake, fake nails, sztuczne, sztuczne paznokcie.

00:08:20.375 --> 00:08:23.075
