Bedeutung
Cooking a meal for others.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The 'Niedzielny Obiad' (Sunday Dinner) is a cornerstone of family life, usually served around 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM and lasting for hours. In big cities, the 'lunch break' has replaced the traditional 'obiad' time, leading to 'obiad' being eaten much later, often called 'obiadokolacja'. If you are a guest, 'zrobić obiad' for you is a sign of high respect. It's impolite to refuse at least a small portion. Polish students often 'make obiad' together in dorms to save money, usually consisting of pasta or 'pierogi'.
The 'Z' Factor
Always use the 'z-' prefix when you want to sound like you've actually accomplished the cooking task.
Smacznego!
After you 'zrobisz obiad', always say 'Smacznego!' (Enjoy your meal) to those eating it.

Timing is Everything
If you invite a Pole for 'obiad' at 7 PM, they will be very confused. Call it 'kolacja' or 'obiadokolacja' instead.
