Jak się masz? / How are you?

When we would like to ask someone “how are you?” in Polish language we would ask: “Jak się masz?”.

Typical answer to this question is “Dobrze, dziękuję, a ty?” (eng. “good, thank you, and you?”).

Depending on our mood, we can answer “Jak się masz?” question in many different ways, here are some examples:

Świetnie ! – Great!

Bardzo dobrze – Very good

Dobrze – Good

Nieźle – Not too bad

Tak sobie – So so

Bywało lepiej – It could be better

Źle – Bad

Bardzo źle – Very bad

Fatalnie! – Horrible!

Jak się masz?
Dobrze, dziękuję, a Ty?
Świetnie! Dzięki.

A ty, jak się masz? 🙂

“Nazywać się” = “to be called”

After today’s class you will be able to ask and answer question “what is your name?” in Polish language. Let’s first have a look at conjugation of verb “nazywać się“:

As we can see the core word for verb „nazywać się” is „nazywa”.

To ask someone „what is your name?” in Polish language we would use:

„Jak się nazywasz?” or “Jak masz na imię”?

We can answer to it in three different ways:

Nazywam się…

Mam na imię…

Jestem…

„Jestem” as we know from previous classes means „I am”. „Nazywam się” and „Mam na imię” means in English exactly the same which is „My name is…”.

Here is an audio with pronunciation of sentences from the examples below:

A ty? 🙂
