Taaak, dla czego nie :)

You’ll never get that from me!

Gruahahahhaaaaa!

“cz” marks the same sound as the English “ch”. “j” marks the same as “y” in “yes”. Otherwise you read it letter by letter, a bit as if it was Spanish.

So… Is Ch’yvinos’tavch legible enough? :) Although, the pronounciation of the j would be so weak that you could perhaps skip it. It does alter the sound a bit, but doesn’t really sound as an independent sound in this word. So, also Ch’vinos’tavch could maybe be a valid transcription? And of course real Polish language does not have the combination czj anyway :)

Seems so. Wikipedia tells there are seven classes of vertebrates:

• Agnatha (jawless fishes, paraphyletic)
• Chondrichthyes (cartilaginous fishes)
• Osteichthyes (bony fishes, paraphyletic)
• Amphibia (amphibians)
• Reptilia (reptiles, paraphyletic)
• Aves (birds)
• Mammalia (mammals)

So yes, fishes is the same thing as vertebrates.

Probably because if you were a vertebrate living in the sea, you needed some sort of gills and fins and such. And those are what makes people assume something is a “fish”.

The only land animals that aren’t fish are animals with exoskeletons. Whales are fish just as much as you and me are. And we are fish :)
