Day 155: Lonely Until Midnight
In the flat they share in Legionowo, Karina (A) complains to her older sister Wiola (B) about the neighbour's dog.
How to study this lesson 3 steps
- Read the situation under the title. It says who is talking and how they know each other, which decides how politely they speak.
- Read the dialogue line by line with its translation, until every line makes sense. Point at (or tap) a Polish word to see what it means.
- Spend at least 30 minutes listening to native Polish, for example from the Resources page. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it yet.
Dialogue
Audio recordings are on the way. For now, each lesson is the dialogue with its English translation.

Pies sąsiada znowu wył po dwudziestej drugiej. Napiszę skargę do spółdzielni!
The neighbour's dog was howling after ten again. I'm going to complain to the housing cooperative!

Have you told him? You should talk to him first.

Poszłam wczoraj, ale go nie było. Wrócił dopiero przed północą.
I went round yesterday, but he wasn't in. He only got back just before midnight.

No to jasne. Psu brakuje towarzystwa, bo cały dzień siedzi sam.
Well, that explains it. The dog's lonely because it's on its own all day.

To może sąsiad powinien kupić mu drugiego psa?
So maybe the neighbour should get it a second dog?

Żeby wyły na dwa głosy? Nie, dziękuję.
So they can howl in harmony? No, thanks.
