Let me introduce ... - Learn how to present other people in Polish. December 09 2016, 0 Comments
Let me introduce myself. My name is Daria and I'm writing this blog to show you how to present other people in Polish.
As usually, certain situations call for a certain level of formality. When it comes to introducing others in a relaxed situation with your friends you just say the following:
- To (jest) moja dziewczyna, Anka. (This is my girlfriend, Anka)
- To (jest) mój chłopak, Maciek. (This is my boyfriend, Maciek)
You can simply leave out the word jest in the above sentences and use a shorter version as in these examples:
- To moja żona. (This is my wife)
- To mój mąż. (This is my husband)
- To moja koleżanka z pracy, Maria. (This is my [female] work colleague, Maria)
- To mój kolega z pracy, Marcin. (This is my [male] work colleague, Marcin)
- Poznaj mojego chłopaka. (Meet my boyfriend) - used when introducing someone to one person
- Poznajcie moją żonę. (Meet my wife) - use it when you introduce someone to a group of people
- Czy wy się znacie? (Do you know each other?) - asking a group of people
- Kto to jest? (Who is this?)
- Znasz go?/Znasz ją? (Do you know him/Do you know her?)
Formal introductions look like the following:
- Chciałbym przedstawić naszego nowego dyrektora, pana Jana Nowickiego. (Let me introduce our new director, Mr. Jan Nowicki) - a man speaking
- Czy państwo się znają? (Do you know each other?) - speaking to a group of people
