Chwileczkę, proszę.

Chwileczkę, proszę.

Chwileczkę, proszę. One moment, please. This is a wonderfully polite phrase. 'Chwila' means a moment, and 'chwileczkę' makes it a tiny, polite little moment.

It looks intimidating, but let's break it down. The c-h makes a hard 'h' sound. The w is a 'v'. And the c-z is the 'ch' in church. Finally, that little tail on the e makes it a nasal 'en' sound. Chwileczkę.
