Översättning - Polska-Engelska - Lato spendzilem na wsi pomagalem dziadkom...

W tlumaczeniu jest uzyte slowo grandfather,a w tlumaczeniu napisane jest dziadkom czyli liczba mnoga powinno byc grandparents.

Ops. You're right Katarzynka.

Maybe others that voted yes didn't notice that.

Thank you.. I'll edit it.

Pozdrawiam

Maybe we should correct the Polish version as I can see some really bad errors there.

"I went to visit the Baltic Sea." It sounds a bit awkward to me.
I also think that "After I came from there/from the seaside" ("Przyjechawszy z morza" would be smoother.

I'm not sure if I'm right though. What do you think?

Hi Oleśniczanin.

The alternative translation you gave to 'przyjechawszy z morza' is good. However, I don't think it would be a huge difference.

Why you say "I went to visit the Baltic Sea." is awkward?
Perhaps if I change to "I went to see the Baltic Sea"
Lilian which is one of our English experts, is very observant and I bet she would not let something pass before setting a poll.

"visit" or "see" a place (the Baltic) is fine. We use them to mean "know".

"Arriving from there" is an ellipsis of "After I arrived from there" and perfectly valid in English. The question is:
is "come" more accurate than "arrive"?
does the original use: "from the seaside" or "from there"?

The original does not use 'there', but I chose this word just not to repeat again 'sea'.

Przyjechać can mean both arrive and come.

Hi Lilian and Angelus,
I wasn't sure about "Arriving from there" because I'm not a native speaker, so I wanted to hear your opinion. If you say it's all right, it's so .

I've corrected the Polish version:
Lato spędziłem na wsi, pomagałem dziadkom, bawiłem się w różne zabawy. Odwiedziłem Morze Bałtyckie. Pogoda była ciepła i woda też. Przyjechawszy znad morza, pozostałe dni spędziłem w domu. Chodziłem na podwórko, grałem na komputerze, czytałem. Lato bardzo mi się podobało.
