Thread: The Pronounciation of a Polish Word:

Dear kamka,

can you explain to me the correct pronounication of the letter of "y" in "romantyzm"? Will it usually occur capitalised or not so in texts?

Thanks

the "y" in romantyzm is pronounced similar to English "i" in "this" - perhaps a wee bit stronger.
Romantyzm will occur capitalised when it's meant to refer to the literary epoch.
