Hey Guys,

I run a small shop and i'm trying to make a sign that says 'Ask at the counter for details'.

Would this be right?:
Szczegolowe informacje pytac przy kasie

emkey

"O szczegółowe informacje pytaj w kasie" - I used polish fonts to make it more Pole-friendly:)

If your comp does not recognize them: "O szczegolowe informacje pytaj w kasie"

Undercoverguy, your version is correct as well. Just like emkey's version.

emkey

hey WooPeeA, the first version makes not much sense without "o" at the beginning.:)

WooPeeA

Ohh.. it's very small mistake. Even I didn't notice that

I'm not sure I like the personal construction here. It's not really common to have the form "pytaj" used referring to a customer. I'd go for:

"Szczegółowe informacje przy kasie"

Impersonal and informative. What do you think?

emkey

looks like after many years in Ireland I got used to being straight-forward.:)

"O szczegółowe informacje pytaj w kasie"

"O szczegolowe informacje pytaj w kasie"

Probably wouldn't matter but it would it make sense to have "l" instead of "ł" as they're different pronounciations?

It doesn't matter as most of people know that l=ł. The pronunciation is bit different. Poles pronounce "Ł" same as Irish people pronounce "w" [ex. Willy, West, World) and "L" is same as in English [ex. Louisiana, Lottery, Love]. Using "ł" is more correct in grama aspect, but IMO not big difference in real life, you can always say that you didn't have Polish fonts if somebody will ask.

if you write something ad use L as Ł this is a small mistake, do ot worry about it,
bu if you talk ad make it people cant know what you say
