Polish term or phrase: czym
Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help me with the pronunciation of:

Europa to nie cały świat,
ale czym byłby świat bez Europy?

in the form of phonetic transcription.

This is for a pro-EU rally on Sunday organised by a nonprofit German asssociation, of which I am a member
http://www.verein-interkultur.eu/main_neu/

Everyone involved in the rally is naturally working for nothing.

The sentence will be spoken as the Polish flag is carried onto a stage.

I'd be really grateful for some help.

Thanks in advance,
Tony Tranter-Krstev
