| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Kasia's post. |
| Marzena: Z moim jedynym. |
| Eric: "With my one and only." |
| Marzena: (SLOW) Z moim jedynym. (Regular) Z moim jedynym. |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "with my." |
| Marzena: z moim |
| Eric: "With my" suggests that the object of this sentence is a man or another masculine noun. For a woman you would have to change the ending. Listen again- "with my" is... |
| Marzena: (SLOW) z moim (REGULAR) z moim |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "only, sole." |
| Marzena: jedynym |
| Eric: "Only" here is really more like "the only one". It will always refer to a man, for a woman you would have to change the ending. Listen again- "only, sole" is... |
| Marzena: (SLOW) jedynym (REGULAR) jedynym |
| Eric: All together, "With my one and only." |
| Marzena: Z moim jedynym. |
