Complaining and Making Complaints in Polish Hey everyone! Today, we had a very interesting and practical lesson about complaining and making complaints in Polish! This topic is perfect for those who want to learn how to express dissatisfaction in everyday situations—at a hotel, restaurant, store, or even at the airport. 🔹 Examples of Complaints During the lesson, we discussed various situations where you might need to make a complaint. Here are some examples: „Przepraszam, ale pokój jest za mały.” 🏨 "Excuse me, but the room is too small." „Przepraszam, ale w pokoju jest za zimno.” ❄️ "Excuse me, but the room is too cold." „Przepraszam, ale nie ma ciepłej wody w łazience.” 🚿 "Excuse me, but there is no hot water in the bathroom." „Przepraszam, ale kawa jest zimna.” ☕ "Excuse me, but the coffee is cold." „Przepraszam, ale czekam już 30 minut na zamówienie.” ⏳ "Excuse me, but I’ve been waiting for 30 minutes for my order." „Te buty są za małe, czy mogę je wymienić?” 👟 "These shoes are too small, can I exchange them?" „Mój telefon nie działa.” 📱 "My phone is not working." „Przepraszam, ale pokój jest brudny.” 🧹 "Excuse me, but the room is dirty." „Mój lot został odwołany, chciałbym zwrot pieniędzy.” ✈️ "My flight was canceled, I would like a refund." „Przepraszam, ale ten chleb jest nieświeży.” 🍞 "Excuse me, but this bread is not fresh." 🔹 New Words and Phrases: ✔️ Narzekać – to complain ✔️ Marudzić – to grumble ✔️ Składać reklamację – to make a complaint ✔️ Zwrot pieniędzy – refund ✔️ Działa / nie działa – works / doesn’t work ✔️ Odwołany lot – canceled flight 📢 INVITATION!
