In Polish, the most universal greeting, which stands for both "Good morning" and "Good afternoon," is Dzień dobry. |
The first word, Dzień, means "day." Dobry, which in Polish is "good," follows Dzień. |
Dzień dobry is appropriate in both formal and informal situations. |
Please remember about the word order in the phrase Dzień dobry. |
In the evening, Poles say Dobry wieczór, which means "Good evening." |
Let's hear it one more time: Dobry wieczór. |
As we mentioned before, dobry stands for "good." Wieczór means "evening." |
Dobry wieczór is reserved for formal situations. |
The most popular greeting among friends is Cześć, which in English means "Hello." |
