I recommend you use google translate to translate it from English to Polish. Then use the pronunciation button to hear how it sounds.WiFO215 said:Yes, it is a Polish name. Thanks so much Jimmy! I take it that the s is pronounced like a z similar to German.
If no results arise with the "cc" tag, try the search again without it.From YouTube, search for any word followed by a comma and cc, for instance, "mordor, cc."
