" to go " in polish

100% GOOD (1 votes)

Hi, i have a question about some verbs in polish.

I cant see the difference between the verb iść, jeźdźić, chodzić, jechać.

i think chodzić is " to walk " or " to hang out ".

and maybe jechać mean something like "ride" and i only can use it to say jadę na rowerse.

I dont know when should i use idę, jeżdżę or jadę ....

if you can help me, i'll be thankful

-idę do ....np. szkoły means i'm going now to school...
-chodzę....np. szkoły means I go [i attend] to school
-jeździć has many similar meanings: drive a car, go by train, ride a bicycle etc.
- chodzić is " to walk " when you do it for fun, BUT chodzić also means to attend, go often somewhere ex church, library.
" to hang out " as a social activity is 'łazić', 'szwedac sie' not walk
jeżdżę = i go regularly.................jadę=i'm going now

And the difference between iść and chodzić, as well as between jechać and jeździć is that iść ( jechać) means that you go (ride/drive) to a certain location. Your target is to get there. Chodzić (jeździć) on the other hand means walking (riding/driving) around, just for the sake of moving.
Eg.
Idę do kina - I go to the cinema. (because I want to get there)
Chodzę po placu - I'm walking around the square (because I'm on a walk for example)

Hi you are right chodzić is "to walk" or "go" (its when you go on your feet) You can use jechać when you "ride" a horse,a bike, but when you use car too (you use it when you go on something what has wheels or legs and you are into it or on it) you can jechać na rowerze, koniu, samochodem etc. but you can chodzić just on your feet
