closer and closer, so let's spend time by the lake.

So today's topic, nad jeziorem, by the lake, nad jeziorem. Nad jeziorem.
00:00:46.477 --> 00:00:54.177
Yeah. So, Roy, czy ty byÅeÅ już w tym roku nad jeziorem? Have you been this
00:00:54.177 --> 00:00:57.057
year by the lake or not yet?
00:00:57.357 --> 00:01:03.297
Only on Spassor. I didn't have been for a few nights, just on Spassor with my son.
00:01:04.077 --> 00:01:07.237
And far from you? Not a half an hour.
00:01:08.157 --> 00:01:15.077
A few hours, a few hours. But before I had a Holland's home in the mountains.
00:01:17.057 --> 00:01:19.797
And it was beautiful, right?
00:01:20.757 --> 00:01:30.937
To moje jezioro, my lake, is like 5 minut ode mnie, like 5 minutes from my place.
00:01:32.257 --> 00:01:36.977
PiÄknie. Yeah, but by car, autem, okay? Nie pieszo.
00:01:37.797 --> 00:01:40.677
Now rower bÄdzie chyba 20 minut.
00:01:41.597 --> 00:01:44.317
Rower, rower tak 15, 20.
00:01:45.217 --> 00:01:51.997
So, so cool. Nieźle, to dobrze. Ok. Gotowy? Jestem. Dobrze.
00:01:52.897 --> 00:01:58.557
Okay, so by the sea, by the ocean, by the lake, by the river.
00:01:58.917 --> 00:02:04.377
Dear students, I would like to tell you that whenever it's water,
00:02:05.717 --> 00:02:11.697
when you are by the water, yeah, we use preposition not.
00:02:12.678 --> 00:02:21.278
And every time, okay? Nad morzem, nad oceanem, nad jeziorem, nad rzekÄ
.
00:02:21.658 --> 00:02:29.158
And what I want to say, all of these nouns we use with the instrumental case.
00:02:29.898 --> 00:02:31.998
Okay? Z kim, z czym?
00:02:33.818 --> 00:02:37.358
Morzem, oceanem, jeziorem, rzekÄ
.
00:02:37.998 --> 00:02:43.258
Is that clear? and jezioro nominated morsom, oceanium,
00:02:43.718 --> 00:02:54.598
jeziorom, rzekom nad lekÄ
WisÅÄ
, for example the longest river in Poland najdÅuższa rzeka w Polsce,
00:02:54.738 --> 00:03:03.598
WisÅa ja mieszkam nad WisÅÄ
I live by this river by the Wisula and basically
00:03:03.598 --> 00:03:09.538
our main topic is jezioro, lake jezioro nominated Okay.
00:03:11.258 --> 00:03:15.178
I would like to show you some water activities. So basically,
00:03:15.598 --> 00:03:18.938
the verb to swim is pÅywaÄ.
00:03:19.778 --> 00:03:27.738
Roy, czy ty umiesz pÅywaÄ? Umiem, ale niedaleko, bo ja jestem ÅmÄczony.
00:03:27.918 --> 00:03:33.518
So na przykÅad, kiedy jestem na basen, ja mogÄ dwa razy i lezina.
00:03:34.418 --> 00:03:39.258
Potem jeszcze raz. I'm not a person. You can swim for 30 minutes.
00:03:39.978 --> 00:03:45.338
Okay, okay. So you don't like to swim fast. You swim for relaxation,
00:03:45.778 --> 00:03:49.558
for health, but not for time. Not on time. Exactly.
00:03:50.498 --> 00:03:58.998
Okay, okay. So yes, basically we swim in the sea, on the basen, and so on.
00:04:00.158 --> 00:04:05.198
To swim on the desk is like go surfing. Obviously.
00:04:06.058 --> 00:04:14.458
There's no waves, usually, like, by the lake, but I mean that pÅywanie na desce,
00:04:14.698 --> 00:04:17.598
like going surfing, is getting...
00:04:18.578 --> 00:04:24.738
It's so common these days. Yes, yes, it's popular, more. I don't know, have you noticed?
00:04:25.178 --> 00:04:35.658
ZauważyÅeÅ? No, I'm close to the ocean, but in Irlandia I'm swimming on a desk,
00:04:35.898 --> 00:04:38.578
and it's nice, it's custom.
00:04:39.038 --> 00:04:44.738
PÅywaÅeÅ, okay, pÅywaÅeÅ, that's it, so I also want to, so this year,

in this year, I'm going to buy a desk, and I'm going to swim a lot, a lot.
00:04:51.397 --> 00:04:58.397
It's a plan, it's a plan. Okay, the next one is ÅywaÄ kajakiem, tak?
00:04:58.917 --> 00:05:04.757

Yes, but I need like the canoe, yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:05:10.277 --> 00:05:18.277
So it's really common. Also, rower wodny, również jest bardzo popularny, is also really common.
00:05:18.617 --> 00:05:22.637
Water bike, rower wodny, Adjective as water, wodne.

00:05:44.597 --> 00:05:51.857
Yeah. To jest również miejsce, gdzie mieszka Roj. Yes, one of the most common cities in Poland.
00:05:52.157 --> 00:05:56.537
Jedno z najbardziej popularnych miejscowoÅci w Polsce.
00:05:57.117 --> 00:06:00.417
Jedno z najbardziej popularnych miejscowoÅci w Polsce.
00:06:01.957 --> 00:06:07.457
Ma nazwÄ Åódź. So it's like boat. Boat city. Åódź.
00:06:08.217 --> 00:06:12.737

If you would like to hire. Yes. A rent.
00:06:17.157 --> 00:06:22.657
A boat. water scooter, skuter wodny, rower wodny, czy kajak,

we, for example, use the verb wypożyczyÄ. Tak, wypożyczyÄ.
00:06:29.677 --> 00:06:35.257
Exactly. ChciaÅabym wypożyczyÄ rower wodny, for example.
00:06:36.327 --> 00:06:43.167
It looks like that okay the next one which is like the thing,
00:06:44.487 --> 00:06:47.367
i can say thing it's really common
00:06:47.367 --> 00:06:54.587
by the lake pomost back czÄsto czÄsto widzimy pomost nad jeziorem so it is a
00:06:54.587 --> 00:07:04.627
pier or jetty yeah and yes jetty and many times for example like When I'm with
00:07:04.627 --> 00:07:06.267
my friends above the sea,
00:07:06.807 --> 00:07:09.067
I say, let's go to the airport.
00:07:10.967 --> 00:07:13.767
Let's go on a pair. Yeah?
00:07:14.287 --> 00:07:20.047
On the beach too, because Gdynia and Sopot have a beautiful airport.
00:07:20.707 --> 00:07:26.347
Yes, yes. Basically, when it comes to a bigger one, I know what you mean.
00:07:26.807 --> 00:07:29.107
In Sopot, we call it molo.
00:07:30.567 --> 00:07:34.467
The longest one. Yes, the longest pier in Poland, probably.
00:07:35.027 --> 00:07:41.147
Then we call it molo. But the smaller ones by the lake, they're pomost.
00:07:41.787 --> 00:07:45.747
Okay? But good, yeah. Good that you noticed.
00:07:46.587 --> 00:07:49.207

It's lifeguard. We call it ratownik.
00:08:10.507 --> 00:08:13.967
Because basically ratowaÄ means to save.
00:08:15.707 --> 00:08:20.387

00:08:21.987 --> 00:08:28.347
