Questions & Answers about Dziękuję za pomoc.

How do you pronounce Dziękuję za pomoc?

A natural approximation for an English speaker is:

jen-KOO-yeh za POH-mots

A few details:

• Dzię- starts with a very soft dź sound, something like the j in jeans, but softer.
• -kuję sounds roughly like KOO-yeh.
• ę in dziękuję is often not pronounced as a full nasal vowel in normal speech. Before k, it sounds close to en/em.
• pomoc is pronounced roughly POH-mots, with c sounding like ts.

The stress is on the second-to-last syllable in dziękuję:
dzię-KU-ję

What does dziękuję literally mean grammatically?

Dziękuję is the 1st person singular form of the verb dziękować, so grammatically it means I thank.

Polish often leaves out the subject pronoun when it is already clear from the verb form, so:

• Dziękuję = I thank / thank you

You do not need to say Ja dziękuję unless you want extra emphasis.
