Lesson focus
In today's lesson, we will cover some high-frequency adjectives to help you express yourself in various situations.
In Polish, "It's delicious" is To jest pyszne.
The first word to means "this."
Then we have jest ("is"). Next, we have pyszne meaning, "delicious." When describing something in Polish, you have to use to ("this"), then the third-person singular of the verb "to be", which is jest ("is"), and then the adjective.
Now let's go over some other adjectives that you can use with the pattern we just introduced.
Let's try "spicy." In Polish, "It's spicy" is To jest pikantne.
The word for "spicy" is pikantne.
Another word for "spicy" is ostre.
So you can also say To jest ostre. "This is spicy."
If you are talking about a person, there are some main adjectives we need to cover.
"tall" - wysoki
"short" - niski
"fat" - gruby
"thin" - szczupły
When talking about a girl, if you would like to say that, "she is pretty," in Polish, this would be Ona jest ładna.
On the other hand, if you are talking about a man, you would say On jest przystojny. "He's handsome."
Now let's look at the negative. In Polish, "It's not spicy" is To nie jest ostre. We only added the negation nie in front of jest.

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.
