Jak tam? Wszystko dobrze? Dzisiaj nie, nie bardzo, bo spadł deszcz cały czas. Ale to dobrze, bo deszczu też potrzeba. It's like, ja myślę, że jestem w domu w Irlandie. I would say. May was so ugly. Really. No.

It is. What is it? What is it? What is it? And today, Today we are going to talk about transport conditions. What means means of transport? Yeah? Okay. So let's start. One of the first and the most common for sure. Na pewno to jest samochód, tak? Najbardziej powszechny, najbardziej popularny środek transport samochód albo auto. We use like two words. Auto is also German word for a car. So samochód, the difference is there when it comes to conjugation, declension.

Samochód is masculine. Auto is neuter. Yeah. And what is more, a little reminder, then we are talking about some means of transport. We use instrumental case, for example, jadę samochodem, jadę autem, jadę... I don't know, autobus, yeah, etc., etc. So we use when it comes to means of transport, instrumental case. Okay, let's continue. As I mentioned, autobus, autobus is bus. Yeah, so we just can think about the word auto and bus. The motorway is autostrad as well, isn't it?

Could you repeat? The motorway is autostrad, isn't it? Yes, autostrada. Yes, yes. Basically, I think that autostrady in Poland, they're not so common at all. Because we have some speed limits. Not, for example, in Germany, there are no speed limits on the roads. Here they are. But yeah. But yeah. It's 110 kilometers. It's not good. Right, right, right.

So basically, we call it bus. but I will also for example some local buses yes like at the city, but we also have the word bus yes for bus but there's like the little ones yes for example between cities etc etc you can see you can tell the difference between between these pictures yes this one is bigger I would know how to say the smaller one but I see it It would be peaceful. Just call him a small bus. Yes, exactly, small bus. But also, I can say that słowo bus exists also in slang.

For example, jedziemy busem. Jedziemy busem. When we say it, we're thinking about this bigger one. But in slang, we just call it busem because it's shorter. Yes, it's the same. So, for example, jedziemy busem czy tramwajem, for example. Ok so autobus bus bus is smaller ok, Autokar is coach. Yes, for some long distance, let's say, trips. One of the popular probably is Flixboss. Advertisement. Obviously, I'm kidding. So, for example, jedziemy autokarem?

Czy lecimy samolotem, tak? Yes, in Poland, I would say that coachs are really common still.

Autokary są popularne. But they are more expensive. I would say, than trains. Autocarem there are no student discounts when you choose coach in Poland. So, for example, I would prefer to go by coach. Roy, do you sometimes drive?

Or rarely? Very rarely, it's not easy for me, I always feel good for me, for example, when I go to Narda or something, it's like 12 hours, maximum 3-4 hours, because I was from Wodzie to Berlin, 6 hours, it was not good for me, because now everything is on the phone, and sometimes people talk a lot, but I can't sleep, so for me it's not easy for me. Probably you use it when you are abroad. Probably, yes. Kiedy jesteś za granicą, pewnie, co? No, dokładnie. Gdzieś tam,

jak potrzeba. If there is a... Okay. So, autokar. Autokar. Still, like this word includes, yes, auto. Auto, yeah. Autokar.

Autokar. Okay. And one of the last, the last word for today is samolot. samolot, plane. Yeah, so lubię latać samolotem. I like, yes, flying by plane, yeah. Or boję się latać samolotem. Do you know what does it mean? Boję bać się. You're afraid of flying? Yes, exactly. Are you? Bojysz się czy raczej nie? Lubisz? Very good. Ja lubię samolot, ale przed na lotnisko, bo to jest dużo czas i czekasz na lina It's a queuing up. At prava, tak, at prava. Krone, just confirmat, tak, ja.

Yeah. A czy ty zazwyczaj latasz z Łodzi czy z innych miast? Dla mnie lepiej w Łodzi, bo na przykład kiedy Warszawa or Wrocław or coś, musisz na otoczcie nie tylko czas do lotnisku, ale może być upadek i musi być proste dwie godziny. Kiedy jest dwie godziny, zawsze nie jest upadek. and it's always 4 hours for a lot of people, and that's not good. So when I'm in Łodzi, it's better for me, but there's not a lot of outpouring from our lotnisko.

Get it, get it. Basically, I saw that the lotnisko in Łodzi is very developed. There are more planes. Like the airport in Łódź, it develops all the time. I see there's like more and more flights year by year. I pamiętaj. Remember, be careful. Not upadek, but wypadek. When it comes to accidents, accidents, for example, car accident, it's wypadek. Upadek means something different. It's like fall. Like, for example, upaść is like to fall, tak?

On upadł i złamał nogę, for example. Yes, like he fell and he broke his leg. Yeah. so be careful yes, in case it's problematic when we have to go to the plane somewhere else and something can happen something can happen.

Even the same when it comes to trains sometimes there are delays so exactly, and it was all when it comes to means of transport which I prepared for the day I didn't mention about all of them you can you can write in the comments which i skipped but expect that second part can can turn turn out someday so thank you for for listening thank you very much so you can get lessons from you find her link in the show notes you find everything about me scan the qr code or
