Exploring Polish Lakes and Water Activities

Welcome to this episode of the Learn Polish Podcast, where our hosts explore the theme of summer vacations by the lake, in Polish "nad jeziorem." The episode delves into common activities around the lake, teaching essential vocabulary and grammar related to lake and water activities in Polish.

This episode highlights the use of Polish prepositions when talking about being by different bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and seas, incorporating instrumental case usage with nouns. Our hosts also provide insights into fun water activities like swimming, canoeing, and jet skiing, along with practical phrases for renting water equipment like boats and water bikes.

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 byłeś 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
Pięknie. Yeah, but by car, autem, okay? Nie pieszo.

00:01:37.797 --> 00:01:40.677
Now rower będzie 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 rzeką.

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, rzeką.

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 leką Wisłą, for example the longest river in Poland najdłuższa rzeka w Polsce,

00:02:54.738 --> 00:03:03.598
Wisła ja mieszkam nad Wisłą 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 pływać.

00:03:19.778 --> 00:03:27.738
Roy, czy ty umiesz pływać? Umiem, ale niedaleko, bo ja jestem śmęczony.

00:03:27.918 --> 00:03:33.518
So na przykład, kiedy jestem na basen, ja mogę 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 pływanie 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
Zauważyłeś? 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
Pływałeś, okay, pływałeś, that's it, so I also want to, so this year,

00:04:45.238 --> 00:04:50.398
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 ływać kajakiem, tak?

00:04:58.917 --> 00:05:04.757
So it's, I need my English teacher now, right?

00:05:05.777 --> 00:05:09.357
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.

00:05:23.237 --> 00:05:25.457
And rover, bike. Yeah.

00:05:26.177 --> 00:05:34.077
Also skuter wodne. Water, skuter. Really, really similar. Dzecki pot, yeah. Yes, exactly.

00:05:34.797 --> 00:05:43.877
So it's really similar. And Łódź. Also, also is a place where our podcaster lives.

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 miejscowości w Polsce.

00:05:57.117 --> 00:06:00.417
Jedno z najbardziej popularnych miejscowości w Polsce.

00:06:01.957 --> 00:06:07.457
Ma nazwę Łódź. So it's like boat. Boat city. Łódź.

00:06:08.217 --> 00:06:12.737
Okay. So what I want to say more. Also if you would like to ask.

00:06:13.037 --> 00:06:16.717
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,

00:06:23.337 --> 00:06:28.077
we, for example, use the verb wypożyczyć. Tak, wypożyczyć.

00:06:29.677 --> 00:06:35.257
Exactly. Chciałabym wypożyczyć 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 często często 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

00:07:50.247 --> 00:07:54.147
As someone who... Lifeguard. Yes.

00:07:55.487 --> 00:08:03.407
Okay. So as someone who saves our lives, yes, by the lake, Or by the sea.

00:08:05.367 --> 00:08:09.367
It's lifeguard. We call it ratownik.

00:08:10.507 --> 00:08:13.967
Because basically ratować means to save.

00:08:15.707 --> 00:08:20.387
So ratownik. Ratownik uratował jej życie. Lifeguard.

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