Dzień dobry, Marta. Dzień dobry, Roy.

00:00:23.977 --> 00:00:28.297
Jak tam, wszystko dobrze? Wszystko z porządku. Słońce, dlatego jestem.

00:00:28.297 --> 00:00:33.197
Yes, and my green screen screen is white.

00:00:34.457 --> 00:00:36.077
We are happy with the sun.

00:00:37.477 --> 00:00:41.017
Finally, it's spring, it's winter.

00:00:42.277 --> 00:00:46.397
Winter, which is the time of elections.

00:00:46.937 --> 00:00:54.757
At the time of the election in Poland, today we'll be talking about vocabulary related to election.

00:00:55.637 --> 00:01:00.757
And the vote is choice? Tak? No, no, no, no, no. Yes, basically election.

00:01:01.157 --> 00:01:03.197
Yes, election in like this word.

00:01:03.897 --> 00:01:11.737
Almost, almost, I will say. Wybory, wybory. Yes, it's a plural form of wybór. Not wybór, but wybór.

00:01:12.357 --> 00:01:17.977
Wybór is singular. But when it comes to election, we always use this plural form, wybory.

00:01:18.557 --> 00:01:22.257
I will explain the difference when we use singular.

00:01:23.377 --> 00:01:30.057
Dobrze. Basically, it's the first part. The second part will be directly after

00:01:30.057 --> 00:01:32.517
this one. Not directly, but at the right time.

00:01:34.457 --> 00:01:41.857
Okay. Wybor election. Already you mentioned a bit. Singular is choice.

00:01:42.617 --> 00:01:47.837
Yeah? So I think that is related. But obviously when it comes to wybór,

00:01:48.357 --> 00:01:51.597
as a singular we use in different contexts.

00:01:51.857 --> 00:01:55.337
For example, it's your choice. To twój wybór. Yeah?

00:01:56.517 --> 00:02:00.377
And the vote in this political meaning as an election.

00:02:01.157 --> 00:02:08.677
Is it clear? Yeah. But also during election, during elections, we use it, right?

00:02:09.277 --> 00:02:15.017
It is your final choice.

00:02:15.977 --> 00:02:23.017
Yes, it is your final choice. And sometimes people say, like your image.

00:02:24.357 --> 00:02:29.817
But it is a party, Jeden drogi, to jest samo ludzi, tak?

00:02:30.177 --> 00:02:36.717
So, nigdy wymieniać, not change, tak? Niestety. Tak. So, they will,

00:02:37.515 --> 00:02:43.215
So the phrase, vote for somebody, we use a preposition na, okay?

00:02:43.835 --> 00:02:47.795
Głosować, głosować na kogoś. Głosować na kogoś. Głosować na kogoś.

00:02:48.515 --> 00:02:53.455
Yes, or coś, or something, yes, when it is political party.

00:02:54.135 --> 00:02:59.515
Yes, partia polityczna. Bo możemy głosować na kandydata, yeah,

00:02:59.675 --> 00:03:07.675
like one person. We can vote for a candidate, for president, for example.

00:03:08.215 --> 00:03:14.095
Teraz właśnie w Polsce będą wybory prezydenckie. Yes, we'll be choosing our

00:03:14.095 --> 00:03:15.875
president, new president.

00:03:16.815 --> 00:03:22.715
So, głosować na kogoś or coś, tak? Głosuję na tą i na tą partię.

00:03:23.035 --> 00:03:25.835
Yes, I vote for this in this political party.

00:03:27.015 --> 00:03:30.015
Ok, Roy, ty nie możesz głosować, prawda?

00:03:30.755 --> 00:03:38.915
In Poland. And I will never vote now, because I think I don't know.

00:03:39.455 --> 00:03:43.095
Everything for the whole Europe is not good.

00:03:43.755 --> 00:03:49.475
But your country and Hungary are a little better than the Great Britain of Irlandia.

00:03:49.675 --> 00:03:54.295
But I look at Irlandia and there is always a problem.

00:03:54.555 --> 00:04:01.135
And I don't think it's honest, the voting is honest. A, it's true,

00:04:01.495 --> 00:04:02.955
it's true, it's true, it's true.

00:04:06.355 --> 00:04:12.395
I've been working in commission, so I can't say to be honest.

00:04:14.515 --> 00:04:17.795
But, oh yeah. What I want to say more. Basically,

00:04:20.335 --> 00:04:25.175
are you interested in politics? Interesujesz się polityką? Bardzo, bardzo. Dzięki.

00:04:25.595 --> 00:04:29.075
Ok. Siedzisz to. Do you follow that? Like all of this?

00:04:30.275 --> 00:04:35.435
Te wszystkie wiadomości. It's like Fred wszystko mówi, ja będę robisz to,

00:04:35.595 --> 00:04:38.895
to, to, to and kiedy wygrałeś robisz nic.

00:04:40.655 --> 00:04:43.795
Prawda, prawda. Niestety, niestety, prawda.

00:04:44.995 --> 00:04:51.755
Dobrze. I jeszcze tutaj, tak jak mówiłam wcześniej, mamy słowo political party,

00:04:52.315 --> 00:04:55.215
partia polityczna albo kandydat, candidate.

00:04:55.715 --> 00:04:59.255
Basically, you can notice that many of these words can be similar.

00:04:59.675 --> 00:05:06.695
Not all, obviously, but some. Yeah, I think that some of the words are international in many languages.

00:05:08.455 --> 00:05:13.875
And yeah, but in short, we'll obviously say partia. Yes, we don't say polityczna always.

00:05:14.355 --> 00:05:17.075
Partia, tak? Na jaką partię głosujesz?

00:05:17.355 --> 00:05:21.455
Yeah, and everybody knows from the context. What about, what is it?

00:05:22.255 --> 00:05:25.555
Okay, teraz zbliża się, now like it's coming.

00:05:26.375 --> 00:05:32.635
Pierwsza tura, pierwsza tura. So basically it's like first baller, pierwsza tura wyborów.

00:05:32.915 --> 00:05:39.355
Jeśli chodzi o to, to przypada to na 18 maja.

00:05:39.735 --> 00:05:43.815
So this podcast is published on Wednesday.

00:05:44.435 --> 00:05:49.355
Ten podcast jest popublikowany w środę. Wybory będą w niedzielę.

00:05:50.515 --> 00:05:54.155
On Sunday. So close. Więc wyskoc.

00:05:54.735 --> 00:06:01.615
Obviously, and second, druga. And also, I just, we usually say,

00:06:01.675 --> 00:06:09.235
because, I don't know, this word probably is not for other words.

00:06:09.415 --> 00:06:11.895
Like, in different contexts, probably it doesn't exist.

00:06:12.175 --> 00:06:16.115
Nothing comes to my mind when it comes to common usage of this word, Tura.

00:06:16.435 --> 00:06:18.755
Usually we use it for the election.

00:06:19.095 --> 00:06:22.695
Yeah, so that's why the Borów is in here. Okay.

00:06:23.815 --> 00:06:35.675
And one of the last words it's urna urna well urn is like urna,

00:06:35.755 --> 00:06:40.955
casket so I've heard of an urn but nigdy po polsku urna yes,

00:06:41.195 --> 00:06:47.675
basically when it comes to urna the first meaning I would say it's casket for sure,

00:06:48.515 --> 00:06:53.835
yeah basically more and more people like to have,

00:06:54.575 --> 00:06:59.455
urna instead of normal you know but yeah

00:06:59.455 --> 00:07:02.895
when it comes to election we have we just

00:07:02.895 --> 00:07:13.915
add adjective which is the board yes so it is it is nothing different than ballot

00:07:13.915 --> 00:07:21.155
box okay so yeah i usually it's without color. It's, how can I say?

00:07:22.535 --> 00:07:29.615
I miss this word in English, but it can have color. You have to see like the cards inside.

00:07:30.195 --> 00:07:31.795
Oh, yeah. You're like see-through.

00:07:32.395 --> 00:07:36.315
Yes, exactly. Perspects glass kind of is usually. Exactly, exactly.

00:07:37.315 --> 00:07:43.675
So, it's important part of election. We, as my experience, jako moje doświadczenie,

00:07:43.915 --> 00:07:46.735
że pracowałam w komisji, to zawsze było, tak?

00:07:47.795 --> 00:07:54.715
Urna musi mieć naklejki, has to have some. Oh my gosh, my English is not English in the morning.

00:07:55.655 --> 00:08:02.995
Naklejki, naklejki, yes. And then after, yes, when it's hour zero,

00:08:04.035 --> 00:08:10.395
yeah, then we just open it. Ok, urna wyborcza.

00:08:11.515 --> 00:08:18.415
And the last is cisza wyborcza. Cisza wyborcza. Do you know, Roy, what is it?

00:08:18.715 --> 00:08:24.535
Czy wiesz, Roy, co to jest? Election silence. Nie wiem, co to jest. Cieszę wyborczą.

00:08:25.355 --> 00:08:30.075
Okay. So, basically, it is the time.

00:08:30.315 --> 00:08:37.935
It starts, it can be my mistake, but probably it starts on Saturday even.

00:08:38.915 --> 00:08:44.215
That, after it, in medias, you can talk about the election.

00:08:45.135 --> 00:08:51.135
Yes, Everybody is mute, I would say.

00:08:51.655 --> 00:08:54.895
Nikt nie może się wypowiadać o wyborach.

00:08:56.715 --> 00:09:03.515
It's the same for citizens. Jest tak samo dla obywateli i dla mediów.

00:09:03.755 --> 00:09:09.855
And for all medias, yeah, and for especially dziennikarzy.

00:09:10.315 --> 00:09:13.775
Do you know who is dziennikarz? Journalist. Journalist, yeah.

00:09:13.775 --> 00:09:20.715
And it finished, like the end, koniec ciszy wyborczej, jest w momencie,

00:09:21.175 --> 00:09:24.515
gdy zamykają się lokale wyborcze.

00:09:24.735 --> 00:09:26.895
So at the moment when the...

00:09:27.686 --> 00:09:32.366
Pulling stations are closed. Yes? To jest wtedy 21.

00:09:33.046 --> 00:09:39.606
21 in the evening, on Sunday. I wtedy, wtedy już można rozmawiać, tak?

00:09:40.346 --> 00:09:45.586
O wszystkim związanym, o wszystkich rzeczach związanych z wyborami,

00:09:45.766 --> 00:09:48.326
ale nie w czeskiej. Not earlier.

00:09:48.746 --> 00:09:57.466
Ja myślę, że może ludzi mówi, o, ja będę 100 złotych każdego miesiąca dzieci, kiedy daj mi twoje głos?

00:09:57.686 --> 00:10:03.866
And mówi ostatni moment, so the opposition, nie mam czasu na, mówi coś. Like?

00:10:04.926 --> 00:10:09.506
It's like kind of, for just, yes, security. Yeah?

00:10:10.786 --> 00:10:17.766
So, I think, ja uważam, że to dobrze, bo przed wyborami, before election,

00:10:17.926 --> 00:10:19.406
there's a lot of time to talk about it.

00:10:19.546 --> 00:10:23.166
Przed wyborami jest jakby dużo czasu, żeby mówić o tym, tak?

00:10:23.686 --> 00:10:29.586
I niekoniecznie trzeba w dzień wyborów. Niech w dzień wyborów będzie cisza, tak?

00:10:30.226 --> 00:10:32.086
By dać głosować po prostu, na

00:10:32.086 --> 00:10:37.326
kogo ktoś chce, tak? A nie mówić o swoim programie jeszcze w dniu wyborów.

00:10:38.006 --> 00:10:43.566
Był na to czas. It was a time for it. And if you don't care about this election

00:10:43.566 --> 00:10:49.986
silence, then your problem, ponieważ jest to karane, it's punished, yeah?

00:10:50.986 --> 00:10:54.146
It's just forbidden, yeah?

00:10:55.406 --> 00:10:58.566
Law is strict, so okay,

00:10:59.306 --> 00:11:04.666
