As a Polish language teacher with over 20 years of experience, I know how important it is to learn how to talk about family in a new language. In this lesson, we will focus on learning the names of family members in Polish and how to talk about your family.
With the completion of this lesson, consider investigating these related pages: Family & Transportation.
Vocabulary
Here is a table with the most common family members in Polish:
| Polish | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| mama | 'mama' | mother |
| tata | 'tata' | father |
| siostra | 'shyoh-strah' | sister |
| brat | 'brot' | brother |
| babcia | 'bahb-chyah' | grandmother |
| dziadek | 'jah-dek' | grandfather |
| ciocia | 'cho-tcha' | aunt |
| wujek | 'woo-yek' | uncle |
| kuzyn | 'koo-zin' | cousin |
| syn | 'sin' | son |
| córka | 'coor-kah' | daughter |
Here are some phrases and questions that will help you talk about your family in Polish:
- To ask someone if they have siblings: "Czy masz rodzeństwo?" (che mahsh rod-zhens-tvo) - Do you have any siblings?
- To talk about your parents: "Mój ojciec/moja matka" (Moy ohtsyets/moya maht-kah) - My father/my mother
- To talk about your brother or sister: "Mój brat/moja siostra" (Moy brot/moya shyoh-strah) - My brother/my sister
- To introduce your family members: "To jest moja rodzina. To jest moja mama/tata/siostra/brat" (To yest mo-ya rod-zee-nah. To yest mo-ya ma-ma/tata/shyoh-strah/brot) - This is my family. This is my mother/father/sister/brother.
Grammar
In Polish, the word for "my" changes depending on the gender of the noun that follows it. For example:
- "Mój ojciec" (masculine) means "My father"
- "Moja siostra" (feminine) means "My sister"
- "Moje rodzeństwo" (neuter) means "My siblings"
It's also worth noting that Polish has a complex system of noun genders, which we will cover in a later lesson.
Cultural Insight
Family is very important in Polish culture, and there are many traditional Polish names for family members that are still commonly used today. For example, "Babcia" and "Dziadek" are common Polish names for grandparents. In addition, Polish families often gather together for holidays and special occasions, such as Christmas and Easter.
Practice
Here are some exercises to help you practice talking about family in Polish:
1. Describe your family using the vocabulary and phrases we covered in this lesson. 2. Ask a friend if they have siblings and how many brothers and sisters they have. 3. Practice introducing your family members in Polish and asking someone about their family.
