Lesson Transcript

Hi, everybody! This is Marzena from PolishPod101.com.
Do you know how to say “thank you” in Polish? In this lesson, you'll learn three different ways to say "thank you" and how to respond.
Let’s start with the easiest one.
Dziękuję.
[slowly] Dziękuję.
It means “thank you.”
If you want to show your sincere appreciation for something, you can say this phrase.
Dziękuję bardzo.
[slowly] Dziękuję bardzo.
The word bardzo means "very." So this expression means "Thank you very much."
It expresses a deeper appreciation for a personal kindness.
When you want to show your appreciation in a more casual way, you can use this expression.
Dzięki is.
[slowly] Dzięki is.
It means something like "thanks," and you can use it between friends or to show appreciation for a small favor.
Now you know 3 different ways to say "thank you" in Polish! But how do you respond if someone thanks you?
If someone says "thank you" in Polish, simply say Nie ma za co. It means "you're welcome."
Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what we've learned. Listen to the expressions and repeat after me.
“Thank you."
