So today we're going to talk about the word, one word, kawał.

00:01:02.517 --> 00:01:07.617
Roj, czy słyszałeś o tym słowie wcześniej?

00:01:07.917 --> 00:01:11.317
Have you heard about this word in the past?

00:01:11.817 --> 00:01:16.757
Kawał nie. Słuchałam kawał. Ale kawał zeszłał.

00:01:17.337 --> 00:01:18.757
Słyszałem. Słyszałem.

00:01:20.177 --> 00:01:27.457
Ale kawał nie. Okay, okay. Kawa, kawał, they're quite far.

00:01:28.617 --> 00:01:34.637
Dla mnie podobnie, zimnie. No, no, no, no. Nie, nie, nie. Okay.

00:01:35.737 --> 00:01:39.257
Okay, możemy zaczynać. We can start.

00:01:40.217 --> 00:01:45.857
One word, a lot of meanings. Kawał. Kawał. Okay.

00:01:46.957 --> 00:01:51.017
Basically, kawał means a part of larger whole.

00:01:52.017 --> 00:01:54.997
And I'm gonna show you first example.

00:01:55.897 --> 00:02:02.697
Odłamal kává drevna do kominka. He broke off a piece of wood for the fireplace.

00:02:03.237 --> 00:02:07.897
Yeah? So basically, kává, as I say, a larger hole. Yes?

00:02:08.157 --> 00:02:14.017
Like a piece of wood is something larger, we would say.

00:02:14.677 --> 00:02:20.597
And basically, I would like to ask you also, have you heard the word odlamať?

00:02:21.557 --> 00:02:23.477
Like to break off something.

00:02:25.937 --> 00:02:30.917
So też na czekoladę odłamać czekoladę? Yes, exactly, exactly.

00:02:31.157 --> 00:02:33.777
For example, let's say kupiłam czekoladę.

00:02:34.237 --> 00:02:35.697
Ale jadłem wszystko.

00:02:36.517 --> 00:02:41.077
Piiłam bardzo głodnie. Proszę Marta, nie mam nic dla ciebie.

00:02:41.817 --> 00:02:50.477
Nie, nie. To ja kupiłam czekoladę i chcę się z nią podzielić z tobą.

możemy opowiedzieć historię deprze

00:05:35.176 --> 00:05:39.896
historia is a story it's worth

00:05:39.896 --> 00:05:42.756
knowing because in

00:05:42.756 --> 00:05:45.816
english story and history they're like

00:05:45.816 --> 00:05:49.536
two different things yeah his story

00:05:49.536 --> 00:05:52.196
is like more serious when it comes to

00:05:52.196 --> 00:05:58.176
some for example historical events yeah but in polish there's the same story

00:05:58.176 --> 00:06:04.656
and history yeah so basically i don't know i went home tak wróciłam do domu

00:06:04.656 --> 00:06:10.656
oh my god oh my boże tak ale mam historię.

00:06:12.656 --> 00:06:18.996
I have such an interesting story I like to tell, yeah? It's something like this.

00:06:19.956 --> 00:06:25.456

And also kawał dobrej roboty.

00:06:31.456 --> 00:06:38.156
Kawał dobrej roboty, which means great job, like a solid piece of work or a job well done.

00:06:39.196 --> 00:06:45.856
Mam nadzieję, że kiedyś ktoś powie tak o naszym podcaście.

00:06:48.363 --> 00:06:52.083
Roy, what do you think? I think that's right.

00:06:52.323 --> 00:06:59.423
I think that's right. Certainly, but when I work as a chef, it's always like, what is wrong, isn't it?

00:07:01.083 --> 00:07:09.843
Yeah, but when we finish a project or something, we count that someone will

00:07:09.843 --> 00:07:13.323
say a lot of good robots, great job. Yeah.

00:07:14.043 --> 00:07:15.663
I die bones, pieniądze, tak?

00:07:18.383 --> 00:07:20.983
Tak. Jakiś profit, tak?

00:07:23.763 --> 00:07:33.523
Okay. Also, a really common meaning, one of the last, a long stretch of time or distance. Yeah?

00:07:34.003 --> 00:07:38.683
For example, we work on project. Yes? Long-term project.

00:07:39.543 --> 00:07:42.383
To zajęło nam kawał czasu. Yes?

00:07:43.463 --> 00:07:46.923
Zająć also means like took yes, time,

00:07:47.243 --> 00:07:55.483
in this time in this meaning so to zajął nam kawał czasu yeah or when it comes

00:07:55.483 --> 00:08:00.583
to this distance jeszcze kawał drogi przed nami, ok? jeszcze.

00:08:03.723 --> 00:08:13.263
Exactly exactly for example we are going somewhere yeah and by car, tak?

00:08:13.403 --> 00:08:16.443
Jedziemy autem nad morze, tak? Z rodziną.

00:08:17.663 --> 00:08:25.263
I tata mówi, oh, możecie iść spać. You can go to sleep. Jeszcze kawał drogi przed nami, tak?

00:08:26.823 --> 00:08:31.403
Okay. And what about like a marathon? If somebody's going on a marathon, would you?

00:08:31.543 --> 00:08:38.323
Can be, can be, can be, can be also, because it also can be like way on foot.
