Word(y) Wednesday: Mushroom

Following yesterday's post, today's word is Mushroom.

 
 

Grzyby

pronounced gzhih-bih
Mushrooms







Note:  The "rz" sound in Polish is like a softer z, almost like if you pretend to make a vacuum or lawn mower sound, or the sound of some other loud machinery.

Since the sound is hard to describe without hearing, here is an audio you can listen to of the pronunciation.  Check out the audio for ż (rz) - żaba, rzeka, tworzy. 



Singular form for Mushroom is Grzyb.




Na razie...
