<span link>Once you've mastered this lesson, take a look at these related pages: [[Language/Polish/Vocabulary/Medecine|Medecine]] & [[Language/Polish/Vocabulary/Means-of-Transport|Means of Transport]].</span>
Before we dive into introducing ourselves, let's quickly review some basic Polish greetings. Greetings are essential for social interactions and can vary depending on the time of day and level of formality. Here are a few common greetings you should be familiar with:
== Basic Phrases ==


To begin with, let's start with some basic phrases that are used in introductions:
* Dzień dobry - Good morning/Good day (used until around 6 p.m.)
* Dobry wieczór - Good evening (used after 6 p.m.)
* Cześć - Hi/Hello (informal)
* Do widzenia - Goodbye


* Cześć - Hi
Now that we've refreshed our memory with basic greetings, let's move on to learning how to introduce ourselves in Polish.
* Dzień dobry - Good morning/afternoon (before noon)
* Dobry wieczór - Good evening (after noon)
* Jak się masz? - How are you?


== Introducing Yourself ==
== Introducing Yourself ==


Now, let's move on to the most important part of introductions - introducing yourself. In Polish, to introduce yourself, you use the phrase:
When introducing yourself in Polish, it's important to start with a greeting and then provide some basic information about yourself. Here's an example conversation:
 
A: Dzień dobry! Jak masz na imię? (Good day! What's your name?)
B: Cześć! Mam na imię Anna. (Hi! My name is Anna.)
 
Let's break down the conversation to understand each part better.
 
=== Greeting ===
 
In the example above, person A starts the conversation with the greeting "Dzień dobry!" which means "Good day!" This is a polite and formal way to start a conversation in Polish. However, if you are in an informal setting or with friends, you can use the casual greeting "Cześć!" which means "Hi!" or "Hello!"
 
=== Asking for the Name ===
 
After the greeting, person A asks person B for their name by saying "Jak masz na imię?" which translates to "What's your name?" This is a common way to ask for someone's name in Polish. The phrase "na imię" literally means "for a name."
 
=== Introducing Your Name ===


* Nazywam się... (My name is...)
Person B responds by saying "Mam na imię Anna" which means "My name is Anna." The phrase "Mam na imię" is used to introduce one's name in Polish. It literally translates to "I have for a name." Make sure to replace "Anna" with your own name when introducing yourself!


So, if you want to introduce yourself in Polish, you can use this phrase followed by your name. For example:
Now that you know the basic structure of introducing yourself in Polish, let's practice some more examples:


*Nazywam się Magda. My name is Magda.
* Jak masz na imię? - What's your name?
* Mam na imię Jan. - My name is Jan.
* Jak się nazywasz? - What's your name? (more informal)
* Nazywam się Katarzyna. - I'm called Katarzyna.


If you want to be more polite, you can also use the phrase:
Remember to use the appropriate greeting based on the time of day and level of formality. Now, let's move on to sharing your age in Polish.


* Bardzo mi miło. (Nice to meet you.)
=== Sharing Your Age ===


So, a more complete example of an introduction in Polish could be:
After introducing your name, it's common to share your age when getting to know someone. Here's an example conversation:


*Nazywam się Magda. Bardzo mi miło. (My name is Magda. Nice to meet you.)
A: Ile masz lat? (How old are you?)
B: Mam 25 lat. (I am 25 years old.)


It's also common to include some additional information about yourself, such as age, occupation, or where you come from. Here are some examples:
In the example above, person A asks person B about their age by saying "Ile masz lat?" which means "How old are you?" The word "lat" represents the word "years" in Polish.


* Mam 30 lat. (I am 30 years old.)
Person B responds by saying "Mam 25 lat" which means "I am 25 years old." The word "mam" means "I have" and "25" represents the age. Make sure to replace "25" with your own age when sharing it with others.
* Jestem nauczycielem. (I am a teacher.)
* Pochodzę z Polski. (I come from Poland.)


To use these examples in introductions, just add them after "Nazywam się..." and "Bardzo mi miło." Here's an example:
Let's practice a few more examples:


*Nazywam się Magda, mam 30 lat i jestem nauczycielem. Bardzo mi miło. (My name is Magda, I am 30 years old and I am a teacher. Nice to meet you.)
* Ile masz lat? - How old are you?
* Mam 30 lat. - I am 30 years old.
* Ile masz lat? (informal) - How old are you? (informal)
* Mam 18 lat. - I am 18 years old.


== Cultural Insight ==
Now that you know how to introduce yourself and share your age, let's move on to the final part of introducing yourself: sharing where you come from.


In Poland, it's customary to shake hands when introducing yourself. Men usually shake hands with both men and women, while women usually kiss cheeks when meeting each other or when greeting men. It's also common to use titles such as Pan (Mr.) and Pani (Mrs. or Ms.) when addressing someone you don't know well.
=== Sharing Your Origin ===


Furthermore, Polish people often ask where you come from or where you live, as this information is important for building relationships. Be prepared to answer this question and ask about the other person's hometown.
When getting to know someone, it's common to ask and share where you come from. Here's an example conversation:


== Vocabulary ==
A: Skąd jesteś? (Where are you from?)
B: Jestem z Polski. (I am from Poland.)


Here's a list of vocabulary words and phrases that will be useful when introducing yourself:
In the example above, person A asks person B about their origin by saying "Skąd jesteś?" which means "Where are you from?"


{| class="wikitable"
Person B responds by saying "Jestem z Polski" which means "I am from Poland." The word "z" means "from" and "Polski" represents the country name "Poland." Make sure to replace "Polski" with your own country name when sharing your origin.

Now that we've refreshed our memory with basic greetings, let's move on to learning how to introduce ourselves in Polish.
