    My favorite polish word is dżdżownica (earthworm). Pronounced j-j-ov-NEE-tsa.

    Oh, and dżdży (it rains), pronounced j-j-ih

    And before anyone asks, yes, dżdżownica is called like that because it comes out of the ground when dżdży.

      The only polish word I know is kurwa. It must mean “the” or something because I swear when I listen to some of my polish colleges talking it comes up in every other sentence.

        you should check out their supermarkets one time. You can learn new words like “zloty” (golden) and “bez” (without).

        And Piwo.
