Hi!
In answer to your question about goods, it is correct. Dobra =3D 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 =3D dobro
goods =3D dobra
to be good =3D by=C4=87 dobrym
