    Translation

    I am from Sweden, so what if from Sweden.

    Vocabulary

    • jestem — I am
    • cóż — so what, well (emphatic 'co')
    • że — that (conjunction)
    • ze — from (variant of 'z' before consonant clusters)
    • Szwecja — Sweden (genitive: Szwecji)

    Grammar note

    'Ze Szwecji' — genitive after 'z/ze' (from). 'Że ze Szwecji' — 'że' introduces an implicit subordinate clause ('so what that [I am] from Sweden'). The 'że/ze' collision is the phonetic trap.
