Or just: piędziesiąt groszy, or 50 groszy. Much easier
Hey, but we don’t have weird exeptions in numbers, like english “eleven” or something. And we usually just call that just pięćdziesiąt groszy.
Źdźbło 😂 my favorite word to torture foreigners.
Give 1zl and say keep the change to avoid the word!
wdyt about konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka?
Pisiont groszy
I just say “Pisiąt groszy” and my mom hates me for it
Notice how it’s actually lots of small words that make one big word, break it up and you’ll make it easier
‘Żółć’ (Word using only ‘polish’ letters), Szczepan Brzęczyszczykiewicz, Konstantypolitańczykowianeczka, Stół z powyłamywanymi nogami, etc, there’s so many of those.
I guess my Polish is getting good because I only made one mistake.
Dwadziestsiadwa grosze plus dwadziestsiaosiem grosy-
Pięćdziesiąt groszy = fifty cents.
Look at this tho.
Pięć = five
Dziesiąt = ten
So, pięćdziesiąt = five tens.
Pięćdziesieciogroszowka is just fivetenscentscoin very specific and easy to “disassemble” but together it looks like an abomination lol

I love to torture British people with RABARBAR
The thing is I could read and speak Polish if each sentence was made up of one word only every time…
50 groszy.
Nothing stops you from taking shortcuts in this lang as well.
My tongue cramped just reading that.
It’s tough out here with the polish last name too, like this one guys name is Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz.
Pół złotego?
Don’t learn that, no one says this, just say pięćdziesiąt groszy or just casually piędziesiont groszy
And you still fucked it up with all that prep time because it’s pięćdziesięciocentówka.
yellowness – żółć
is my fav word because every letter is a polish special letter
Nobody uses that word ever
I like how i managed to read it in polish not being a polish speaker… Give or take accent… But then I am a native Slovak.
Interesting thing I noticed is that you basically:
1. Wrote 50 as a word
2. Used “cen” In front of “groš” To make a cent… I love that. Haha… “groš” (Slovak spelling) is somewhat of a universal word for coins/money among western slavs.
3. Combined all 3 words into one… How German of you 😛
Every slav can basically easily pronounce the word, it is just intuitively understandable as for me. The only problem with reading polish I encounter is enormously strange letter combination which produce sounds they shouldn’t, but if someone will write down polish in cyrillic it actually becomes incredibly easy to understand, especially if you know ukrainian or belarusian.
I’m living in Krakow for the next 3 months and feel awful that I can’t speak any Polish, it’s so embarrassing. Just trying to learn a few basic words is torturing my brain, definitely a lot harder than other languages Ive learnt the basics of (German/French). Will stick at it and hope I can say a few basic sentences fluently by the time I leave haha.
Pisiont grosz
Calm, I bet lot of Poles couldn’t write it properly xD
You can just say piśont groszy, that’s much easier
Polish looks so intimidating, but when I started learning it back in 2005 I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the spelling and pronunciation rules are solid and consistent, so that when you know them, you’re able to pronounce even the most frightening looking words reasonably well. Rapid progress after that.
But 50 cents coins means pięćdziesiąt centów not pięćdziesiąt groszy
