Introduction in Polish
.
First things first
So, usually the first thing you need to learn during learning a new language is how to introduce yourself. Here are some of the useful phrases:
- Mam na imię... (name) - My name is... (name)
- Mam (number) lat. - I'm (number) years old.
- Pochodzę z... (place) - I'm come from... (place)
- Pracuję jako... (profession) - I work as... (profession)
- Interesuję się... - I'm interested with...
- W wolnym czasie... - In my free time...
Greetings
But to introduce yourself, you need to know how to greet a person you'll be talking with. For example:
- Hej! - Hey!
- Cześć! - Hello!
- Dzień dobry! - Good morning/afternoon!
- Dobry wieczór! - Good evening!
Basic words and phrases
Some other basic words that you should know contain:
- Proszę! - Please (when we're asking for something)
- Proszę! - Here you are! (when we're handing something to another person)
- Dzięki!/Dziękuję! - Thanks!/Thank you!
- Przepraszam. - Sorry (when we want to apologize)
- Przepraszam! - Excuse me! (for example: when we're going through the crowd)
- Tak - Yes
- Nie - No
- Rozumiem. - I understand.
- Nie rozumiem - I don't understand
Questions
In a basic conversation you should also ask some questions to another person... such as:
- Jak masz na imię? - What's your name?
- Ile masz lat? - How old are you?
- Gdzie mieszkasz? - Where do you live?
- Skąd jesteś? - Where are you from?
- Co robisz? - What are you doing?
- Jak tam?/Jak się masz? - What's up?/How are you?
- Mówisz po angielsku? - Do you speak English?
Goodbyes
After a conversation it's proper to say "Goodbye", right? Here are some ways to say it:
- Hej!/ Cześć! - Bye! (yes... it's the same as in the "Greetings" section)
- Pa! - Bye!
- Do widzenia - Goodbye
- Dobranoc! - Good night!
- Do zobaczenia - See you soon
- Żegnaj! - Farewell! (but it's too dramatic ^^)
- Nara! - See ya! (slang)
Exercises
To practise introductions even more, here you have some exercises! Enjoy! ^^
Translate to English
- Mam na imię Kasia.
- Mam 19 lat.
- Pracuję jako doktor.
- Interesuję się muzyką i sztuką.
- W wolnym czasie słucham jazzu i gotuję.
Translate to Polish
- My name is Frederica and I'm 23 years old.
- I'm working as a vet.
- Yes, I'm from Sweden!
- No, I don't speak Norwegian.
- Hey, Naomi! What's up?
Trivia
- The literal translation of "Mam (number) lat" is "I have (number) years"... for example "Mam 36 lat" is "I have 36 years"
- Due to massive influence of English language a lot of words are simplified and "Polish-ized"... for example we often say "Sory" instead of "Przepraszam".
- Polish language is one of few (or maybe the only one) in which "No" means "Yes"... with Polish pronounciation "No" is a sign of approval.
