Capturing an image with a camera.
Contexto cultural
Poles love 'selfies' but often use the English word while keeping the Polish verb: 'robić selfie'. It is common for guests to 'robić zdjęcia' throughout the entire night, often sharing them instantly on WhatsApp groups. In Polish churches, 'robić zdjęcia' is often restricted during Mass. Look for signs saying 'Zakaz fotografowania'. The phrase 'robić coś dla zdjęcia' (doing something just for the photo) is a common critique of modern influencer culture in Poland.
Aspect Matters
Use 'robić' for the hobby of photography and 'zrobić' when you want to capture one specific moment right now.
The 'Brać' Trap
Never use 'brać'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers and sounds very strange to Poles.
