Welcome to the 442nd episode of the Learn Polish Podcast, an invaluable resource for getting to grips with the nuances of the Polish language. Get ready as we explore an intriguing grammatical topic - the translation of the word 'from' into Polish. As straightforward as it might seem in English, the word 'from' has three different equivalents in Polish: 'z', 'od', and 'znad'. Each has its own unique contexts and usages, making this topic an engaging one to delve into. Start off with us on the journey of dissecting these prepositions by understanding when and how to use 'z', which could concern place, city, or country. Further solidify your comprehension with a hands-on quiz! Following that, get enlightened on the usage of 'od' in relation to people, days, hours, and months. Lastly, encounter the less conventional 'znad', used in the context of water bodies. While this episode is teeming with new information, our host maintains a light-hearted atmosphere with friendly banter throughout.
