Proszę ... korekty? Poem- Mała kaczka Mała kaczka. Kocham ci kaczki. Jesteś żółty. Jesteś kaczka. Mała kaczka. Kocham ci kaczki. Jesteś mały. Jesteś piękna. Mała kaczka. Kocham ci kaczki.

What time do you start saying "Dobry wieczór"? My book said szósta godzina, but that seems early.

Na Pomoc! In the targ... This week, I'm visiting my mum in the Polish(ish) part of Chicago I grew up in. This always means a visit to the local small food shop, where you feel wonderfully transported as most of the foods are labeled in Polish and you likely won't hear a word of English the whole time you are there. Now that I'm actively learning Polish, even more or a reason to go there, as my ears get an exercise in listening for phrases and words I know when overhearing conversations, my eyes can recognize some of the food names, and most importantly actually have a (very) small conversation WITH someone in Polish! Very small mostly because I'm a super beginner in Polish. If I knew more, I'd have no problem saying anything at all to a cashier just to get more in person practice. Right now, I'm limited to saying "Dzień dobry"...which is a start. My big question is what to say when the cashier gives you your things? Of course, they say Dziękuję, but is it ok to respond "dziękuję", or should I say something else? In English, if the cashier says thank you before I do, I always respond "thank you" but in just more emphasis on the "you". Also, is "jak się matz?" ok to ask? If I'm asked that, and I say "Dobre, dziękuję" would it be too informal to ask "i ty?" Is there a way to ask "and how are you" or "and you" that is casual but not totally informal? Please help. :) Dzięki
