Here are some phrases and questions that will help you talk about your family in Polish:
== Talking about Your Family ==
 
* 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:
Now that we know the names of family members in Polish, let's learn how to talk about our own families. Here are some useful phrases and sentences:


* "Mój ojciec" (masculine) means "My father"
* Moja mama ma na imię Anna. (My mother's name is Anna.)
* "Moja siostra" (feminine) means "My sister"
* Mój tata jest inżynierem. (My father is an engineer.)
* "Moje rodzeństwo" (neuter) means "My siblings"
* Mam jedną siostrę i jednego brata. (I have one sister and one brother.)
* Moja córka chodzi do szkoły. (My daughter goes to school.)
* Mój syn ma 5 lat. (My son is 5 years old.)
* Moja babcia lubi gotować. (My grandmother likes to cook.)
* Mój dziadek jest emerytem. (My grandfather is retired.)
* Mam dwóch wnuków i jedną wnuczkę. (I have two grandsons and one granddaughter.)
* Moja ciotka mieszka w Warszawie. (My aunt lives in Warsaw.)
* Mój wujek jest pilotem. (My uncle is a pilot.)
* Mam wielu kuzynów. (I have many cousins.)


It's also worth noting that Polish has a complex system of noun genders, which we will cover in a later lesson.
Feel free to adapt these sentences to talk about your own family. Don't forget to change the names and other details to match your own situation.


== Cultural Insight ==
== Family Vocabulary in Context ==


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.
To practice using the family vocabulary in context, let's look at a short dialogue between two people talking about their families:


== Practice ==
Anna: Cześć! Jak się masz? (Hi! How are you?)
Marta: Cześć! Dobrze, dziękuję. A ty? (Hi! I'm good, thank you. And you?)
Anna: Też dobrze. Jak się czuje twoja mama? (I'm good too. How is your mom feeling?)
Marta: Moja mama jest chora. (My mom is sick.)
Anna: O nie! Mam nadzieję, że szybko wyzdrowieje. (Oh no! I hope she gets well soon.)
Marta: Dzięki. Mój tata opiekuje się nią. (Thanks. My dad is taking care of her.)
Anna: To miło. Mam dwóch braci. Jeden jest starszy, a drugi jest młodszy ode mnie. (That's nice. I have two brothers. One is older, and the other is younger than me.)
Marta: Fajnie mieć rodzeństwo. Ja jestem jedynaczką. (It's nice to have siblings. I'm an only child.)
Anna: Rozumiem. Moja siostra mieszka za granicą. Często jej tęsknię. (I understand. My sister lives abroad. I miss her often.)
Marta: To musi być trudne. Mam nadzieję, że kiedyś się zobaczycie. (That must be tough. I hope you will see each other someday.)


Here are some exercises to help you practice talking about family in Polish:
In this dialogue, Anna and Marta ask about each other's families and share some information about their own families. Notice how the vocabulary we learned earlier is used in context.


1. Describe your family using the vocabulary and phrases we covered in this lesson.
== Summary ==
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.
