mieć wiarę w siebie

to have self-confidence

معنی

to trust your own abilities

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Poland, 'wiara w siebie' is often contrasted with 'pokora' (humility). While modern society prizes self-belief, older generations might still view too much of it as a lack of modesty. In the Polish tech and startup scene, this phrase is used almost exactly like 'self-efficacy' in English, emphasizing the 'can-do' attitude. Romantic-era Polish literature often focused on faith in the nation, but modern literature has shifted toward the individual's 'wiara w siebie' as a tool for survival. Commentators often cite a 'lack of faith in themselves' (brak wiary w siebie) as the reason the national football team loses, making it a national talking point.

The 'Siebie' Rule

Remember that 'siebie' never changes. It's the same for I, you, he, she, we, and they. This is your best friend in Polish grammar!

⚠️

Negatives change the case

If you say 'I DON'T have faith', 'wiarę' (Accusative) becomes 'wiary' (Genitive). 'Nie mam wiary w siebie.'
