Lesson focus
In today's lesson, we will continue to learn more phrases that will help you with basic etiquette. Poles are very hospitable.
They use phrases of gratitude quite often. Even though you may not get the chance to use Proszę (the phrase for "You're welcome") during your trip in Poland, there's a very good chance you will hear it.
So let's have a closer look at it!
In Polish, "You're welcome" is Proszę.
Proszę
Let’s break it down by syllable: Proszę
Now let's hear it once again: Proszę
To recap, the word Proszę means "You're welcome."
You can also respond to someone that has thanked you by using two very similar expressions.
They are Nie ma za co, which means "Not at all" and Drobiazg, which means "It's nothing."
Nie ma za co
Let’s break it down by syllable: Nie ma za co
Now let's hear it once again: Nie ma za co
Drobiazg
Let’s break it down by syllable: Drobiazg
Now let's hear it one more time: Drobiazg
Please remember, Nie ma za co means "Not at all" and Drobiazg means "It's nothing."
We can use any of these expressions - Proszę, Nie ma za co, and Drobiazg - in any situation, formal or informal.

Outro
Okay, to close out this lesson, we'd like you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so powodzenia, which means “good luck” in Polish.
"You're welcome." - Proszę.
Proszę.
Proszę.
"Not at all." - Nie ma za co.
Nie ma za co.

"It's nothing." - Drobiazg.
