Welcome to episode 461 of the Learn Polish Podcast, "Polish Basics - Learning to Greet in Polish with Daniel", where we are offering new and improved programming while maintaining our mission to help you learn Polish in a fun and interactive setting. This episode is all about greetings in Polish – a must-know topic for anyone planning a trip to Poland or interested in its language and culture.
This episode is guided by the insightful Daniel. To start off, Daniel goes over the fundamental greeting ‘dzień dobry’, equivalent to 'good day' or 'hello', which you would use regularly when meeting somebody. He explains this is a handy phrase to have at the ready, as it's culturally appropriate to use variations of the greeting depending on the time of day and formality of the situation.
We then transition into 'dobry wieczór,' which translates to 'good night' or 'good evening.' This is another common greeting to use throughout your day, particularly if you find yourself in a shop or out later in the night.
The next part of the lesson is about 'Cześć.' It has a dual meaning of ‘hello’ and ‘goodbye’ but is mostly used informally. The less common yet still essential greetings such as 'witam' (welcome) and 'do vidzénia' (goodbye) are also covered.
We wrap up the show detailing how to use various other casual greetings that are popular among youngsters. Even though greetings like 'seama’ (how’s it going) and ‘hey’ aren’t used traditionally, they are quite trendy and convey coolness. Daniel further shares some of his uses of these greetings amongst his friends.

Welcome to the 456th episode of Learn Polish Podcast. Today we discuss the traditions and customs surrounding the Easter holiday in Poland. As we delve into the symbolic representations of Easter from little lambs, colourful eggs to daffodils, we add an interesting angle by throwing light on how these symbols differ from those in Ireland.
In this thought-provoking episode, we also entertain the listeners with fun facts about some common Easter dishes and flowers that signify this holiday. Reminiscing about Easter in Poland and Ireland, we compare the differences and peculiarities of the holiday in both countries. For example, while the Poles follow a custom of painting eggs (pisanki), this tradition is seemingly absent in Ireland.
We also explain the Polish custom of Święconka or the blessing of the Easter basket and compare it with Irish traditions. We talk about how the variety of food and even alcohol is brought to church on Holy Saturday to be blessed and then eaten on Easter Sunday in Poland, a tradition which is not seen in Ireland.
Intriguingly, we also explore the language link between the Easter cake (Babka) and interesting phrases in Polish. We encourage you to join us on this fascinating journey to understand the rich cultural nuances of the Easter holiday in Poland and Ireland. We invite listeners to share their Easter traditions in the comments to help us broaden our understanding of these cultural celebrations.
Whether it's the charming tales of the Easter Bunny or the solemn church rituals, tune in to this podcast episode to feel the spirit of Easter from different cultural perspectives. Comment, share, and join us next week for more fascinating talks about the Polish language and culture!
