| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Kasia's post. |
| Marzena: Nie znoszę deszczu... |
| Eric: "I hate rain..." |
| Marzena: (SLOW) Nie znoszę deszczu... (Regular) Nie znoszę deszczu... |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "I can't stand." |
| Marzena: nie znoszę |
| Eric: This is a relatively strong way to say that one hates something. You can use a softer expression, but this one sounds better when complaining about the rain. Listen again- "I can't stand" is... |
| Marzena: (SLOW) nie znoszę (REGULAR) nie znoszę |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "rain." |
| Marzena: deszczu |
| Eric: "Rain" is a genitive case. You have to use this case because the whole sentence is a negation. Listen again- "rain" is... |
| Marzena: (SLOW) deszczu (REGULAR) deszczu |
| Eric: All together, "I hate rain..." |
| Marzena: Nie znoszę deszczu... |
