Ok, let's get back to the episode. Świetnie, więc zacznijmy od tych pięciu różnych sposobów wykonywania zaproszenia.

Porozmawiamy o tym, kiedy używać każdego, jak poliwne są one i jak mówić je rzadko w rozmowach. Zostawię też Wam kilka przykładów, oczywiście, które mogą być używane w życiu, są to zwykłe przykłady. 1. I was wondering if you could. This phrase is a very polite way to make a request. It's perfect for when you don't want to seem pushy or demanding. It's polite and slightly formal. Also good for semi-formal situations or when you're asking for a favor that might be inconvenient. This phrase is followed by the base form of the verb, infinitive in other words, like help

Lend do. Example sentences. I was wondering if you could help me with this project. I was wondering if you could drive me to the station tomorrow. Do you think you could? This is another polite way to ask for something, but it feels a bit more friendly and casual. It's great when asking someone who might need a little encouragement to help you. It's not a formal expression, it's rather direct. Dobre dla codziennych rozmów i politycznych pytań. Wersja pozostaje w formie podstawowej, po "-kud", np. pomóc, udostępnić, więc jeszcze raz infinityw. Czy myślisz, że mógłbyś pomóc? Czy myślisz, że mógłbyś udostępnić?

Piosenka może być zrównoważona, więc pierwszy dźwięk jest właściwie "-dż". Słuchaj. Czy myślisz, że mógłbyś mi pomóc? Czy myślisz, że mógłbyś mi pomóc? To jest to, co dzieje się, kiedy ludzie mówią szybko, albo kiedy ludzie mówią w naturalnym tempo, prawda? Nie musi być szybko. Nie jest łatwo zrozumieć, co oni mówią, jeśli nie wiesz, jak dźwięki działają, kiedy mówimy w naturalnym sposób, więc dźwięki przechodzą pewne procesy, And here we're dealing with one of them, it's assimilation, ok? So it's not do you think, but do you think? Do you think? Check out these sentences. Do you think you could pick me up later?

Do you think you could explain that again? 3. Would you be able to? This is another polite and respectful way to make a request. It's slightly more formal than do you think you could and it's good to use when you're not sure if the person can actually do what you're asking. It's suitable for work situations or polite requests because it's semi-formal. The phrase is followed by the base form of the verb. Again, for instance, help, join, give, you know, base form. Would you be able to help? The words would you can sound like would you when spoken casually.

I've already spoken about this. This sound and yee sound combine into dż sound. Would you. Listen to these example sentences. Would you be able to send me the notes? Would you be able to finish that by tomorrow? Would you mind? This phrase is super polite and it's used when you want to show a lot of respect. So you're basically asking, is it okay if you do this? Would you mind? It's ideal when making sensitive or important requests. Very polite, hence good for formal situations and when asking something that could be inconvenient.

Or even would you. This is an example of assimilation. Examples. Would you mind helping me with lunch? Would you mind waiting here for a minute? 5. I need you to. This one is more direct and straightforward. It's not a suggestion or polite request. More like telling someone what you expect them to do. It's often used when something is urgent or important or when you're in power, when you're in charge. It's informal and commanding, so use it when you're in charge. Again, you're in charge. Or when you're in an urgent situation and you want people to act, act now, act fast.

Follow this phrase with the base form of the verb, like listen, do, come. I need you to do, I need you to listen, I need you to come. Szybkie słowa, dwie słowa dla Ciebie. Muszę, żebyś był spokojny. Muszę, żebyś koncentrował się na zadaniu w rękach. Najlepszy sposób, by zapamiętać język, jest powtarzanie, powtarzanie. Więc to jest to, co zrobimy teraz. Słuchaj i powtarzaj słowa na głośno. Następnie zainstaluj poprawkę i zakończ to z tych samych słów, okej? Zostawmy to. Zastanawiałam się, czy mógłbyś mi pomóc w tym projekcie. I was wondering if you could help me with this project.
