[Tlhingan-hol] Polish-language presentation on tlhIngan Hol

[Wiechu]

Hi!

In answer to your question about goods, it is correct. Dobra = Goods. It's
a direct translation. Stuff which you can buy or sell. It certainly does
not mean "things which are good". I believe Russian word for goods is
"tovari".

It does seem to be quite the same in Polish as in English.

good = dobro
goods = dobra
to be good = być dobrym
