Wymowa tego słowa nadal jest dla mnie trudna.

Because trudna agrees with wymowa, and wymowa is a feminine noun in Polish.

• wymowa = pronunciation
• trudna = difficult/hard, feminine singular

In Polish, adjectives must match the noun they describe in gender, number, and case. Since wymowa is feminine singular, the adjective has to be trudna.

Compare:

• ten wyraz jest trudny = this word is difficult
• ta wymowa jest trudna = this pronunciation is difficult

Because after wymowa you need the equivalent of of this word, and in Polish that requires the genitive case.

So:

• to słowo = this word nominative
• tego słowa = of this word genitive

The phrase works like this:

• wymowa słowa = the pronunciation of a word
• wymowa tego słowa = the pronunciation of this word

This is very common in Polish. Many noun-to-noun relationships that use of in English are expressed with the genitive.

It is genitive singular.

Why? Because wymowa is followed by the thing whose pronunciation you mean. In English, you say the pronunciation of this word. In Polish, that of this word relationship is usually shown by the genitive case.

Breakdown:

• tego = genitive singular form of ten / to / ta depending on gender
• słowa = genitive singular of słowo

So:

• słowo = word
• tego słowa = of this word

Dla mnie means for me, and in this sentence it sounds natural because the idea is still difficult for me.

So:

• dla mnie = for me
• mi = to me / for me in some contexts, but not the natural choice here

You would not normally say:

• Wymowa tego słowa nadal jest mi trudna.

That sounds unnatural or at least much less standard.

The usual pattern is:

• To jest dla mnie trudne. = This is difficult for me.
• Polska gramatyka jest dla mnie trudna. = Polish grammar is difficult for me.

So dla mnie is the normal expression here.

Nadal means still.

In this sentence, it shows that the situation continues:

• Wymowa tego słowa nadal jest dla mnie trudna.
• The pronunciation of this word is still difficult for me.

Its position is fairly flexible, though some placements sound more natural than others. For example:

• Wymowa tego słowa nadal jest dla mnie trudna.
• Wymowa tego słowa jest nadal dla mnie trudna.
• Nadal wymowa tego słowa jest dla mnie trudna.
  • possible, but more marked

The version you have is very natural.

In the present tense, Polish normally does use jest when you want to say is.

So:

• Wymowa tego słowa jest trudna. = The pronunciation of this word is difficult.

You may sometimes see jest omitted in headlines, notes, casual speech, or certain stylistic contexts:

• To trudne.
• Wymowa tego słowa dla mnie trudna.
  • possible in very informal or elliptical style, but not the standard full sentence

For normal neutral Polish, keeping jest is the safest choice.

Polish word order is more flexible than English word order, because grammatical relationships are often shown by case endings rather than by position.

Your sentence is neutral and natural:

• Wymowa tego słowa nadal jest dla mnie trudna.

But other orders are possible:

• Dla mnie wymowa tego słowa nadal jest trudna.
• Wymowa tego słowa jest nadal trudna dla mnie.
• Nadal jest dla mnie trudna wymowa tego słowa.

These versions can sound more emphatic, literary, or marked depending on context. A learner should usually stick with the original order unless there is a reason to emphasize something.

A rough English-friendly guide is:

• wy
  • something like vih or vɨ, but the vowel y is not exactly an English sound
• mo
  • like mo
• wa
  • like va

So the whole word is approximately:

• vih-MO-va

The stress is on the second-to-last syllable, which is very typical in Polish:

• wy-MO-wa

A few pronunciation notes:

• w in Polish sounds like English v
• y is not the same as English ee or i
• stress usually falls on the penultimate syllable

A native speaker might say it when talking about learning Polish, practicing reading, or struggling with a specific word.

For example:

• Znam znaczenie tego słowa, ale wymowa tego słowa nadal jest dla mnie trudna. = I know the meaning of this word, but its pronunciation is still difficult for me.

It sounds natural in both spoken and written Polish, though in everyday speech a speaker might also choose a shorter, more conversational version such as:

• Nadal trudno mi wymówić to słowo. = It’s still hard for me to pronounce this word.

Both are correct, but they are structured differently.

Yes, often you can.

• słowo = word
• wyraz = word / lexical item

So:

• Wymowa tego słowa nadal jest dla mnie trudna.
• Wymowa tego wyrazu nadal jest dla mnie trudna.

Both are grammatical. In everyday speech, słowo is often more common and more natural for many situations. Wyraz can sound a little more formal or linguistic, depending on context.

Yes. The original sentence is correct and natural, but a learner will also hear more conversational alternatives.

Very common alternatives include:

• Nadal trudno mi wymówić to słowo. = It’s still hard for me to pronounce this word.
• To słowo nadal trudno mi wymówić. = This word is still hard for me to pronounce.
• Wciąż mam problem z wymową tego słowa. = I still have trouble with the pronunciation of this word.

Your original sentence is slightly more descriptive and noun-based, while these alternatives are often more speech-like.

Because this sentence is built around the noun wymowa = pronunciation, not around the action to pronounce.

So the structure is:

• The pronunciation of this word is still difficult for me.

If you use a verb, the sentence changes shape:

• Nadal trudno mi wymówić to słowo. = It is still difficult for me to pronounce this word.

Both mean almost the same thing, but:

• wymowa focuses on the pronunciation itself
• wymówić focuses on your ability to say the word

Here is the sentence broken down word by word:

• Wymowa
  • pronunciation; feminine singular noun, nominative; the subject
• tego słowa
  • of this word; genitive phrase modifying wymowa
• nadal
  • still
• jest
  • is
• dla mnie
  • for me
• trudna
  • difficult; feminine singular adjective agreeing with wymowa

So the overall structure is:

[Subject] + [genitive phrase] + [still] + [is] + [for me] + [adjective]

That makes it a very useful model for similar sentences, for example:

• Gramatyka tego języka jest dla mnie trudna.
• Wymowa polskich spółgłosek jest dla mnie trudna.
