Plural Grammar Rules

The plural is the form which refers to more than one object or person. For example: I speak two languages the plural here is [languages] because it refers to more than one [language]. The examples below use plurals in different ways and places to demonstrate how they look when converted from their singular form.

Grammar + Rules - Polish
I speak one language [singular form] mówię w jednym języku
we speak three languages [plural noun] mówimy w trzech językach
he visits many countries [adverb + plural noun] odwiedza wiele krajów
they are happy now [plural pronoun] są szczęśliwi teraz
she has five red shoes [adjective + plural noun] ona ma pięć czerwonych butów
I want a sandwich without onions [preposition + plural noun] chcę kanapkę bez cebuli

The following is a list of examples showing both the singular and plural form. This demonstrates how the plural is used with humans, objects and animals.

Emergency Phrases

Now it's time to practice your Polish by looking at these phrases which are related to emergencies. Be prepared when traveling abroad, just in case you need help or by offering help to someone else. I recommend writing these expressions down on a notebook before traveling.

English - Polish
Help pomocy!
Call the ambulance wezwijcie pogotowie!
I need a doctor potrzebuję lekarza
Where is the closest pharmacy? gdzie jest najbliższa apteka?
Are you okay? jak się czujesz?
I am sick jest mi niedobrze
Call the police wezwijcie policję!
