to make a shopping list

Bedeutung

writing down needed items

🌍

Kultureller Hintergrund

Poles are very fond of 'gazetki' (store flyers). Making a list often involves checking these flyers for 'promocje' (discounts). The 'Sunday Trade Ban' (zakaz handlu w niedziele) means that making a list on Friday or Saturday is a vital weekly ritual. During Christmas (Boże Narodzenie), the list is often divided into categories: 'na sernik' (for cheesecake), 'na rybę' (for fish), etc. Younger generations in Poland are increasingly using apps like Listonic, which was actually founded in Łódź, Poland.

💡

Use 'zrobić' for the result

If you want to tell someone the list is ready, always use 'zrobiłem/zrobiłam'.

⚠️

Watch the case!

Remember: 'zrobić listę' (Accusative) but 'nie zrobić listy' (Genitive).

No, it is neutral. It's perfectly fine for both home and office, but for very formal documents, use 'sporządzić'.

Yes, but that refers to the ongoing process of making it, not the completed act.

It would be 'listy zakupów', but usually, you only make one list at a time.

Both! Older generations prefer 'karteczki', while younger people use apps like Listonic or Google Keep.

Because it's a 'list OF purchases'. In Polish, 'of' is expressed by the Genitive case.

Yes, 'zrobić listę zakupów na święta' is very common.

Yes, but 'spis' sounds more like an inventory or a very long, formal list.

Zapomniałem listy zakupów (Genitive because of the implied negation of having it).
