- \n
- dom<\/a><\/strong> (noun, masculine, non-person, plural: domy<\/strong>) = house, home<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
But it can\u2019t be THAT simple, now can it? Of course not!<\/p>\n
The trouble begins when you decide to look at the context in which the words \u201chome\u201d or \u201chouse\u201d are used. For example \u2013 \u201cmy home town\u201d. It has:
\nmy = m\u00f3j<\/strong>
\nhome = dom<\/strong>
\nand
\ntown = miasto<\/strong><\/p>\nYet if you put it all together you end up with a big ball of nonsense, because \u201cmy home town\u201d when correctly translated is:<\/p>\n
- \n
- moje miasto rodzinne<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\u201cmoje<\/strong>\u201d is a neuter form of \u201cm\u00f3j<\/strong>\u201d and \u201cmiasto<\/strong>\u201d is the same as above, but what happened to \u201chome\u201d? It ended up translated as “rodzinne<\/strong>“, which is an adjective derived from the word \u201crodzina<\/strong>\u201d \u2013 family.<\/p>\n
- \n
- rodzinny<\/a><\/strong> (adj., fem: rodzinna<\/strong>, neuter: rodzinne, <\/strong>plural: rodzinne<\/strong>) = family (as an adjective), familial<\/li>\n
- rodzina<\/a><\/strong> (noun, feminine, plural: rodziny<\/strong>) = family (noun)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
And now I finally see that this \u201chome\u201d business can be complicated when learning Polish, too.<\/p>\n
At its most inclusive \u201chome\u201d can be translated into Polish in many different ways, you\u2019ve already seen \u201crodzina<\/strong>\u201d (family) above. But even in Polish, you can notice the distinction between \u201chouse\u201d and \u201chome\u201d. Because just like in English, when \u201chouse\u201d is translated into Polish it implies a physical place where people live. For that reason, sometimes \u201chouse\u201d can be translated as \u201cbudynek<\/strong>\u201d (building).<\/p>\n

- rodzinny<\/a><\/strong> (adj., fem: rodzinna<\/strong>, neuter: rodzinne, <\/strong>plural: rodzinne<\/strong>) = family (as an adjective), familial<\/li>\n
