| Michael: We heard a varied mix of ads, too. |

| KEY VOCAB AND PHRASES |
| Michael: Let's have a closer look at the usage of one of the phrases from this lesson. The phrase is... |
| Marzena: To się pije! |
| Michael: meaning "This is what people drink!" |
| Michael: Let’s break this expression down. |
| Marzena: To is a demonstrative pronoun meaning "this." Then is pije się. |
| Michael: This is a reflexive form of the verb "to drink." |
| Marzena: That verb is pić. |
| Michael: We can translate the use of the reflexive verb into making it a passive voice. It’s a good slogan for advertisements. |
| Marzena: Yes, you’re more likely to hear it in an ad than in normal conversation. |
| Michael: Can you give us an example using this word? |
| Marzena: Sure. For example, you can say... Soki Orange, to się pije! |
| Michael: ... which means "Orange juice, this is what people drink!" |
| Michael: Okay, now onto the lesson focus. |

| Marzena: To say that something was made or opened in a given year, we use ordinal numbers. |
| Michael: How do we make ordinal numbers in Polish? |
