Tak, dzisiaj mamy kobiecy temat. Ja. Nie wiem, czasami mężczyźni też. But I believe that men are interested in the topic. Maybe they have a girl from Poland and they need to buy something. But we don't know when they are interested in it. So today I'm in Polish Makeup and Polish. And one of the first words.

Verb is to wear makeup yes and it is like malować się malować się yeah and is that kind of like to put it on malować się no yes yes exactly and sometimes you also use like uh robię makijaż yeah i do my makeup yeah uh yes but um this one is more natural more more common for example. So I'm just putting, yeah? I put my makeup only when I go to work, etc., etc. And here, for example, is the sentence. I don't put on makeup every day, is it? Yeah, exactly, exactly. So we're trying malować.

Also malować without this pronoun means like, for example, we can możesz malować ściany you can paint the walls yeah? Paint, paint the walls yeah? so malować also is like to paint yeah? But in this context it's obviously about make-up ok?

One of the first things jedną z pierwszych rzeczy których akurat ja nie używam już to jest podkład, pod is like basically under yes and it's not similar to like a dom the foundation of a house is it the same order not really sometimes it's it's obviously this word podcast it's not only used for for for for makeup yeah you know i'm not sure when it comes to your version so i'm not gonna lie.

Yes, but maybe yes. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. For example, I know that, for example, podkładka it's something... On the table when you eat and you just don't want to make mess, you know, on the table, don't like, and we want to avoid some, you know, crumbs and stuff. Yes, crumb stuff. Then you just, you just put, yes, down podkładki. Yeah? You've heard ever?

Tak? Na przykład, na przykład nakrywam do stołu, yes z moją table mask kind of thing yeah, yes podkładka yes yes and every every każdy talerz ma swoją podkładkę na przykład table mask yeah but I know what about this meaning what you've said yeah so it's maybe exercise for our our listeners, i na przykład jaki podkład używasz yes it's like what foundation do you use jaki, jaki jaki numer.

Jaki numer i tak dalej pięknie kryje so pięknie kryje it's like it covers well yes, like so cool kryć is like to cover, yeah. Exactly ok, the next one is tusz do rzęs or mascara and it's the same meaning like in English. Mascara is getting more popular these days. So if you don't if you just don't remember tusz do rzęs you just can use as a replacement which is mascara. Mascara, yeah, the same like in English. But also obviously we can use for example is tusz do brwi.

Yes to bros and rzenk is eyelashes yeah yes yes yes yes exactly yes sometimes people stick them on what are they what would you call them the stick on yes yeah i know i know but basically yes rzenso rzenso rzenso and rzenso yeah plural so tush do rzenstush do brwi tush do again it's like this for, yeah. Okay. And cień do powiek. Cień do powiek is like eyeshadow. A plural way is cień do powiek. Yes? Powieka is shadow. Yes? No, like eyeshadow. Yeah? Mi sięduję. Yeah.

Na przykład, jak ktoś już się starzeje, tak? To jest opadająca powieka. Yes? Like where's a lot of skin. Yes? Opadające powieki, tak? And the next one is puder. Puder is like powder. Yes, I would say that it's similar. Yeah, even the verb is like powder pudrować, tak? Na przykład, daj mi chwilę, tak? Muszę iść tam przy pudrować nosek, tak? Like my nose. I pudrować my nose.

Bronzer is the same. But obviously we pronounce it like more Polish. So it comes from bronzowy. Bronzowy color, like brown color. Rozświetlacz is like a highlighter. And it's all, basically. Which one, which is not in the presentation also, but used to be on the channel already, is like pomadka, pomadka or szminka. Yes, so lipstick, szminka, szminka or pomadka. So, you have a beautiful nail polish. Ah, basically, yes, when it comes to nails, it's like paznokcie, paznokcie, paznokcieć jeden.

But, yes, when it comes, oh, even I forgot in Polish now, lakier, lakier, yes? You have a beautiful lakier on the paznokcie, yes? It's like nail polish, yeah? Yeah. And just finally, because I see sometimes now like 95% of people have to stick on ones. What do you call them? Fake nails. What's that called? I don't know. It's the same in English, but it's used to like, we used to say like, tipse, tipse. Tipse, okay. Like tipse, like nafifki.

But tipse, tipse. Yeah, basically, you know, we just say like, fake, fake, fake nails, sztuczne, sztuczne paznokcie. Yeah, directly. Okay. Okay, thank you. Thank you very much, Martha.
