| POST |
| Eric: Listen again to Maciek's post. |
| Marzena: Dają czadu! |
| Eric: "They rock!" |
| Marzena: (SLOW) Dają czadu! (Regular) Dają czadu! |
| Eric: Let's break this down. First is an expression meaning "they give." |
| Marzena: dają |
| Eric: This is a plural form of "to give" but in this phrase it means more like "show". The whole phrase is a set expression, so you cannot change the verb or the noun. Listen again- "they give" is... |
| Marzena: (SLOW) dają (REGULAR) dają |
| Eric: Then comes the phrase - "rock,” or “power." |
| Marzena: czadu |
| Eric: This word, meaning "power" or just "rock," is used as a set with the previous verb meaning "They rock". It is usually used by young people. Listen again- "rock, power" is... |
| Marzena: (SLOW) czadu (REGULAR) czadu |
| Eric: All together, "They rock!" |
| Marzena: Dają czadu! |
