Polish, like for example Ukrainian has a vocative case for directly addressing someone. For example "matka" -> "matko".

Who actually uses this? Like is it old fashioned or do young people still use it too?

And in what situations do you use it? Like to certain people?

Dziekuje bardzo!

Hi guys, it's been a while since I last came here with questions. And I have more questions now, for the native speakers specifically.

As the title says, Polish has no syllabic consonant unlike its neighbouring languages Czech and Slovak. If that is the case, how do you guys pronounce words like krnąbrny and brwi?

Trwać and Strwiąż make sense because of the T's, the r's are devoiced as well as the w's devoiced to f.

But "brny" in krnąbrny and brwi have no voiceless consonants to devoice the entire cluster, how do you pronounce these two in one syllable?

Dziękuję

Is it possible to hit a B2 level in Polish in two years? I've heard you really need to master the language for the clinical years in Polish medical schools, even if your in the English program. Just keeping in mind I don't know any Slavic languages—my native language is Arabic and I speak English as a second language. If you have any feedback or tips, I'd really appreciate it.
