    A Polish friend has challenged me to say Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz properly, so here I am, trying to learn how.

      Did you get it right after those few years?
      ChaTgPT showed me how it’s pronounced:
      “The name "Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" is quite challenging to pronounce. Here is a phonetic breakdown to help you with the pronunciation:
      1. **Grzegorz** - /ˈɡʐɛ.ɡɔʂ/
      - **G** as in "get"
      - **rz** is pronounced like the French "j" in "bonjour" /ʐ/
      - **e** as in "bed"
      - **g** as in "go"
      - **o** as in "thought"
      - **rz** again like the French "j" in "bonjour" /ʂ/
      2. **Brzęczyszczykiewicz** - /ˈbʐɛnt͡ʂɨʂ.t͡ʂɨˈkʲɛ.vit͡ʂ/
      - **B** as in "bat"
      - **rz** like the French "j" in "bonjour" /ʐ/
      - **ę** nasalized "e" similar to "en" in French /ɛ̃/
      - **cz** like "ch" in "chop" /t͡ʂ/
      - **y** like "i" in "machine" /ɨ/
      - **sz** like "sh" in "she" /ʂ/
      - **czy** like "ch" in "chop" followed by "i" in "machine" /t͡ʂɨ/
      - **kie** like "k" in "kite" followed by "e" as in "bed" /kʲɛ/
      - **wi** like "v" in "vine" followed by "i" in "machine" /vi/
      - **cz** like "ch" in "chop" /t͡ʂ/
      So, putting it all together:
      Grzegorz: /ˈɡʐɛ.ɡɔʂ/
      Brzęczyszczykiewicz: /ˈbʐɛnt͡ʂɨʂ.t͡ʂɨˈkʲɛ.vit͡ʂ/
      Practice saying each part slowly and then try to speed up as you get more comfortable with the sounds.”

    6:32 "DZ"
    Two of the three examples are WRONG: dziękuję "thank you" and trzydzieści "30". In these words the letters are DZ, but the sound is the same as in DŹ (that is: soft), which comes next in the film. The reason for that is that "DZ" is followed by "I" in the above two words, and in Polish "I" is soft and always softens the preceding consonant, so there is no need to add the diacritic mark indicating softness - it would be the same phonetic information repeated twice in orthography. Just an additional nuance.
    But these are details, anyway. Perfect pronunciation is so difficult in any language. Nobody expects it from a foreigner.

    • @k.janicka4487
      @k.janicka4487 2 года назад +6

      the three examples were actually an example of a trigraph 'DZI'. it isnt the same as 'DŹ'. the difference is like between 'ni' and 'ń'. talking about that technically I'd also include 'ci', 'ni' and 'si', they technically arent digraphs, they just soften the letter, but the sound is different than just reading n and i as two separate letters and could help foreigners.

      sz - sh
      Example:
      szczery (eng. honest), try to say shchery

      dż - j
      Example:

      joke (eng. kawał)
      Also say "ó" the same as "u", "ch" the same as "h", "rz" say as "ż".
      Of course in Polish language there are some group of letters a little bit harder to say. Just like "ż" (żołnierz - eng. soldier) & "rz" (rzeka - eng. river), "dź" (niedźwiedź - eng. bear).

    Źdźbło ("culm, stalk, blade") is such a beautiful Polish word. Ź, DŹ, and Ł are among the hardest sounds to learn in Polish (there is a subtlety with Ł, it is not precisely the English W, historically it is a variant of L).
    And I think to pronounce them together without vowels, with b inside, is a good gauge for how good you are in dealing with Polish phonetics :)
    By the way, the word derives from Proto-Indo-European *STIB(ʰ)-LO-, with an accent on -LO-. (the "I" dropped out, leaving preceding consonants soft, and then B made them voiced).

The pronunciations aren't easy but it seems easier than English because of simple vowels (except two nasal vowels) and regular stress

    5:25 To whom it may concern - of course the syllable that should have been stressed here is "pa" (the third one from the end), NOT "pry" (the second syllable from the end). Just like with every word that ends with "-yka" or "-ika" (in Nominative singular case that is). This way the word "polityka" is stressed on the "li" syllable if it is "the politics" in the Nominative singular case but on the "ty" syllable if it is "a politician" in the Genetive singular case ("of a politician"). Just saying.

    • @alh6255

    • @rutek6309
      @rutek6309 3 года назад +6

      Some of those sounds just are indistinguishable.
      ż and rz (samo ż/żet and er zet)
      ó and u (ó z kreską/ó zamknięte and u otwarte)
      h and ch (samo ha and ce ha)
      All of these sounds are not distinguishable in prenounciation within a word. Sometimes even a Pole may forget which letter/digraph to use and you may hear a question "Przez które ż to się pisze?" and answer "Przez rz." It feels really akward to write it as we would only ask this question in speech. Otherwise, we just look it up in dictionary as it is a shameful question to ask.

      @Ellestra 3 года назад +3

      They ignored devoicing to 'sz' for 'rz' too by picking 'krzaki' i 'krzyżyk'. Going for the voiced consonant would made much better examples ('brzeg', 'grzyb').
      Using 'dzi' for examples of 'dz' ('dziękuję', 'trzydzieści') was also weird choice (I'm sure they could've found 'dzwon' or 'dzwonek'). "Dzi' is also really the actual sound in 'dżinsy' so that was another bad example (could've used 'dżem', drożdże).
