Polish (Polski) is spoken by about 40 million people across Poland and Polish communities across Europe.

Polish declines nouns, adjectives, and names across seven cases, has no articles, and distinguishes perfective and imperfective verb aspects.

English to Polish translation tips
- Polish case endings do the work that English word order does, so nearly every noun changes form depending on its role in the sentence. English requires an explicit subject in nearly every sentence and marks questions with word order, so translations into English often need pronouns and auxiliaries that the source language leaves out.
- This bundle defaults to contemporary standard Polish as used in Poland. It does not claim review of regional or heritage varieties.
- Polish nouns, adjectives, numerals and pronouns inflect for case. Government belongs to the Polish verb or preposition, so an English object cannot simply be copied into a default case.
- Perfective and imperfective verbs distinguish bounded events from processes, habits and repeated events. Aspect must be chosen from meaning and context rather than mapped mechanically from English tense.
- Singular past and conditional forms mark the speaker's gender. If the English source does not identify it, label the intended speaker or use a natural recast when one is available.
- Formal address normally uses Pan, Pani or Państwo with third-person agreement. Keep that system separate from informal ty and second-person forms throughout a message.
Polish false friends to watch for
- aktualny looks like “actual” but means current or up to date.
- ordynarny looks like “ordinary” but means vulgar, coarse or crude.

How do you say hello in Polish?
Hello in Polish is Cześć. The common-phrases table on this page lists more everyday Polish expressions, such as Dziękuję (thank you) and Do widzenia (goodbye).
Can I translate Polish back to English?
Yes. Use the swap button next to the language selectors, or open the dedicated Polish to English translator page.
Is my text kept private?
Your English text is sent securely for translation and is not stored as raw content. There are no ads and no tracking cookies.
How much English text can I translate at once?
You can translate up to 2,000 characters of English per request. For longer documents, translate them in sections.
How should formal English 'you' be translated into Polish?
Select Pan for a man, Pani for a woman or Państwo for a group and use third-person agreement. Do not combine those forms with informal second-person ty morphology unless the relationship deliberately changes.
Why can Polish reveal a speaker's gender in the past tense?
First-person singular past forms differ, such as wysłałem for a man and wysłałam for a woman. English usually leaves that distinction unstated, so provide the needed context instead of accepting a silent guess.
