Pozdrowienia (pohzdrohvyenya) z Polski: (it actually means 'greetings from poland', it wouldn't make sense otherwise) Czesc (cheshch): is a casual word for both "hi" and "bye" Dzien (jen) dobry: means good day (or day good if translated directly) it is the most commonly used greeting. use it instead of 'hello'. Dowidzenia (dohveedzenya): is a more polite way of saying 'goodbye'. make sure you truncate the 'dz' sound, don't articulate each sound separately. it's kind of like the 'zz' in 'pizza'. Jak (yak) sie (sheh) masz (mash): you probably know this from borat. it means 'how are you?' Dziekuje (jenkooye): another borat word. means 'thank you'. Dobrze (dohbzhe): means 'good' or 'well'. if asked 'jak sie masz?' you say 'dobrze'. to clarify the 'zh' in the phonetic spelling is like the english 'sh' sound but hard. it's like the 's' in 'pleasure'. all the 'o' sounds are pronounced the same way. like the 'o' in 'borat'.
