please tell me how to pronounce the name rojcewicz.
thanks.
thanks.
It's a Polish name pronounced roy-tse-vich with the stress on the first syllable.
I thought the stress in Polish always lies on the penultimate syllable? Well, there may be some exceptions, I suppose...
That's correct. No exception here. Exceptions exist only for some grammatical forms (e.g. chcielibyśmy - chcieli -by - śmy) and not too often for foreign names.
It's Rojcewicz (roy-tse-vich)
ProszęMasz rację, Anatoli. Dziękuję bardzo!
Masz racię (accusative)My Polish too is very rusty, Anatoli, but I seem to recall that feminine nouns ending in "a" change to ą in the accusative so I think that Masz racją (literally, "you have the right")is correct. Polaki gdzie jestscie?
Dziękuję bardzo za poprawki, Anatoli. Mój polski nie jest tylko zardzewiały, jest g----!
Or as they say in Oz, Good on yer mate!
