Introduction[edit | edit source]

Welcome to the lesson on numbers and counting in Polish! In this lesson, you will learn how to count in Polish and use numbers in everyday situations. Numbers are an essential part of any language, and mastering them will greatly enhance your ability to communicate effectively in Polish. So let's get started!

Cardinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Cardinal numbers are used to represent the quantity or the number of things. In Polish, cardinal numbers are used in various contexts, such as counting objects, telling time, giving phone numbers, and more. Here is a table showing the cardinal numbers from 0 to 10:

Polish	Pronunciation	English Translation
zero	zeh-roh	zero
jeden	ye-den	one
dwa	dvah	two
trzy	tshih	three
cztery	ch-teh-rih	four
pięć	pyehnts	five
sześć	shehshch	six
siedem	shye-dem	seven
osiem	oh-syem	eight
dziewięć	dyeh-vye-nyh	nine
dziesięć	dyeh-syehnts	ten

It's important to note that the pronunciation provided here is just an approximation and may vary depending on regional accents.

Counting Objects[edit | edit source]

When counting objects in Polish, you need to use the appropriate form of the noun depending on the number. In Polish, nouns have different forms called cases, which indicate their grammatical role in a sentence. For example, when counting apples, you would use the nominative case:

jeden jabłko (one apple)
dwa jabłka (two apples)
pięć jabłek (five apples)

Notice how the form of the noun "jabłko" changes depending on the number. This is a common feature in many Slavic languages, including Polish.

Telling Time[edit | edit source]

In Polish, cardinal numbers are also used to tell time. Here are some examples:

Jest pierwsza (It's one o'clock)
Jest druga (It's two o'clock)
Jest piąta (It's five o'clock)

Remember that in Polish, the hour is usually expressed using the feminine form of the ordinal number, while the minutes are expressed using the cardinal number.

Giving Phone Numbers[edit | edit source]

When giving phone numbers in Polish, you would use the cardinal numbers. Here is an example:

Mój numer telefonu to siedem siedem dziewięć pięć cztery trzy jeden dwa (My phone number is 77954312)

Remember to use the appropriate form of the noun "numer telefonu" (phone number) depending on the context.

Ordinal Numbers[edit | edit source]

Ordinal numbers are used to indicate the order or position of something in a sequence. In Polish, ordinal numbers are formed by adding a suffix to the cardinal number. Here is a table showing the ordinal numbers from 1st to 10th:

Polish	Pronunciation	English Translation
pierwszy	pyer-vshee	first
drugi	droo-gee	second
trzeci	tshyeh-tsee	third
czwarty	ch-var-tee	fourth
piąty	pyan-tih	fifth
szósty	shoshtih	sixth
siódmy	shoo-ohd-mih	seventh
ósmy	oos-mih	eighth
dziewiąty	dyeh-vya-nee-tee	ninth
dziesiąty	dyeh-shan-tee	tenth

Just like with cardinal numbers, the pronunciation provided here is an approximation and may vary depending on regional accents.

Dates[edit | edit source]

Ordinal numbers are commonly used when talking about dates in Polish. Here are a few examples:

pierwszego stycznia (January 1st)
czternastego lutego (February 14th)
dwudziestego piątego grudnia (December 25th)

Remember to use the appropriate form of the ordinal number depending on the gender and case of the noun it modifies.

Ranking[edit | edit source]

Ordinal numbers are also used to express ranking or position. For example:

Pierwsze miejsce (First place)
Drugi największy (The second largest)
Trzecia strona (The third page)

Fractions[edit | edit source]

In Polish, fractions are expressed using ordinal numbers. Here are a few examples:

pół (half)
trzecia część (one-third)
jedna czwarta (one-fourth)

Remember that the noun following the fraction should be in the genitive case.

Additional Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

Here are some additional vocabulary words related to numbers and counting:

liczba (number)
dwadzieścia (twenty)
trzydzieści (thirty)
czterdzieści (forty)
pięćdziesiąt (fifty)
sto (one hundred)
tysiąc (one thousand)
milion (one million)

Feel free to practice using these words in various contexts to improve your understanding of numbers and counting in Polish.

-As you can see, some Polish sounds can be challenging. I recommend listening to Polish speakers or using online resources to improve your pronunciation.
+It's important to note that the pronunciation provided here is just an approximation and may vary depending on regional accents.
+=== Counting Objects ===
+When counting objects in Polish, you need to use the appropriate form of the noun depending on the number. In Polish, nouns have different forms called cases, which indicate their grammatical role in a sentence. For example, when counting apples, you would use the nominative case:
+* jeden jabłko (one apple)
+* dwa jabłka (two apples)
+* pięć jabłek (five apples)
-After the number 5, you add the word "naście" to form the numbers from 11 to 19. For example: "jedenaście" means "eleven" and "trzynaście" means "thirteen".
+Notice how the form of the noun "jabłko" changes depending on the number. This is a common feature in many Slavic languages, including Polish.
-For numbers from 20 and above, you need to combine the tens with the units. For example, 23 is "dwadzieścia trzy" which means "twenty three".
+=== Telling Time ===
+In Polish, cardinal numbers are also used to tell time. Here are some examples:
-Here are the tens:
+* Jest pierwsza (It's one o'clock)
+* Jest druga (It's two o'clock)
+* Jest piąta (It's five o'clock)

-To form any number greater than 99, we combine the hundreds, tens and units with the word "i" (and). For example, 258 is "dwieście pięćdziesiąt osiem" which means "two hundred fifty eight".
+=== Giving Phone Numbers ===
+When giving phone numbers in Polish, you would use the cardinal numbers. Here is an example:
