córka در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Córka: daughter (female child).
- Feminine noun. Plural: córki.
- Used in all family contexts.
- Essential for basic Polish vocabulary.
The Polish word córka is a noun that translates directly to 'daughter' in English. It refers to a female child in relation to her parents. This is a fundamental word used in everyday conversation when discussing family relationships.
- Core Meaning
- A female offspring.
Moja córka ma pięć lat.
- Usage Context
- You will hear and use 'córka' in various family contexts: when parents talk about their children, when siblings refer to each other's daughters, or in general discussions about family structures. It's a neutral and universally understood term.
- Examples in Conversation
- When someone asks, "Kto to jest?" (Who is that?), a parent might reply, "To moja córka." (That is my daughter.) Or when discussing family gatherings, "Przyjdzie też moja córka z mężem." (My daughter will also come with her husband.) It's a common term in everyday Polish life.
Mam dwie córki i jednego syna.
- Related Concepts
- The direct counterpart to 'córka' is 'syn' (son). Together, 'córka' and 'syn' form the core terms for male and female children. The plural form of 'córka' is 'córki'. When referring to one's children in general, one might use the term 'dzieci' (children).
Jego córka jest bardzo utalentowana.
Using córka correctly involves understanding its grammatical gender (feminine) and how it interacts with possessive pronouns, adjectives, and verbs in a sentence. As a feminine noun, it follows specific declension patterns, though in its nominative singular form, it's straightforward.
- Possessive Pronouns
- When indicating ownership, you'll use possessive pronouns. For 'my daughter', it's 'moja córka'. For 'your daughter' (singular, informal), it's 'twoja córka'. For 'his/her daughter', it's 'jego/jej córka'.
To jest moja córka, Anna.
- Adjective Agreement
- Any adjectives describing the daughter must also be in the feminine form. For example, 'smart daughter' is 'mądra córka', and 'young daughter' is 'młoda córka'.
Widziałem jego małą córkę w parku.
- Verb Conjugation
- The verb agrees with the subject. If 'córka' is the subject, the verb will be in the third person singular. For example, 'My daughter reads' is 'Moja córka czyta'.
Córka studiuje medycynę.
- Plural Form
- Remember the plural form is 'córki'. So, 'my daughters' is 'moje córki'. Adjectives and possessive pronouns will also change to their plural feminine forms.
Wszystkie jego córki są piękne.
- More Examples
-
- 'Czy masz córkę?' (Do you have a daughter?) - Here 'córkę' is in the accusative case.
- 'Rozmawiam z moją córką.' (I am talking with my daughter.) - 'córką' is in the instrumental case.
- 'To prezent dla twojej córki.' (This is a gift for your daughter.) - 'córki' is in the genitive case.
The word córka is ubiquitous in Polish, appearing in countless everyday scenarios. You'll hear it in intimate family settings, casual conversations with friends, formal introductions, and even in media.
- Family Gatherings
- At Christmas dinners, Easter lunches, birthdays, or weddings, you'll frequently hear parents referring to their daughters. "Gdzie jest moja córka?" (Where is my daughter?) or "Nasza córka wyszła za mąż." (Our daughter got married.)
Rodzice chwalili się swoją utalentowaną córką.
- Social Interactions
- When meeting new people, Poles often introduce their family members. "Poznajcie moją córkę, Kasię." (Meet my daughter, Kasia.) This is a very common way to establish connections.
Czy twoja córka lubi czytać książki?
- Workplace and Formal Settings
- Even in more formal contexts, such as talking to colleagues or during professional meetings, family discussions can arise. "Moja córka niedługo kończy studia." (My daughter is finishing university soon.)
Lekarz zapytał o stan zdrowia jego córki.
- Media and Literature
- In Polish movies, books, and news articles, 'córka' is a common term when characters or subjects are discussed. Storylines often revolve around parental relationships, making this word a frequent presence.
Książka opowiada historię ojca i jego córki.
- Diminutive Forms
- You might also hear the diminutive form, córeczka, which is used affectionately, especially by parents referring to their young daughters. It conveys a sense of endearment and tenderness.
Mama przytuliła swoją małą córeczkę.
When learning Polish, learners might make a few common mistakes related to the word córka, primarily concerning its grammatical gender, pluralization, and case usage.
- Confusing Gender
- The most frequent error is misapplying masculine or neuter adjective/pronoun forms to 'córka'. Since 'córka' is a feminine noun, all modifying words must agree in gender. For example, saying "mój córka" instead of "moja córka" is incorrect.
Incorrect: Mój córka jest wysoka.
Correct: Moja córka jest wysoka.
- Incorrect Pluralization
- Learners might incorrectly pluralize 'córka' or use the wrong plural form. The correct plural is 'córki'. Using 'córek' or 'córkas' would be mistakes.
Incorrect: Mam trzy córek.
Correct: Mam trzy córki.
- Ignoring Case Endings
- Polish is a case-inflected language. While 'córka' is the nominative form (subject), it changes in other cases. Forgetting to change the ending when 'córka' is an object, indirect object, or part of a prepositional phrase is a common error. For instance, using 'córka' when 'córkę' (accusative) or 'córce' (dative) is required.
Incorrect: Daję prezent córka.
Correct: Daję prezent córce.
- Overuse of Diminutives
- While 'córeczka' is a common and lovely term, using it in every context where 'córka' is appropriate can sound overly familiar or even condescending in some formal situations. It's best to stick to 'córka' unless a warm, affectionate tone is clearly intended.
Formal statement: Spotkanie z dyrektorem i jego córką.
Informal/Affectionate: Mama woła swoją małą córeczkę.
While córka is the standard and most common term for 'daughter' in Polish, there are related words and alternative ways to refer to a female child, depending on the context and desired nuance.
- Synonym: Dziecko (Female)
- 'Dziecko' means 'child'. While gender-neutral in its base form, context often clarifies. If someone says "Mam jedno dziecko, córkę" (I have one child, a daughter), 'dziecko' is used as a general term, and 'córka' specifies the gender. You might also hear "Moje dziecko jest bardzo podobne do swojej matki" where 'dziecko' is treated as feminine due to context.
- Diminutive: Córeczka
- This is an affectionate diminutive of 'córka'. It's used by parents or close family members to express tenderness towards a young daughter. It's similar to saying 'little daughter' or 'sweetheart' in English. Example: "Moja kochana córeczka." (My dear little daughter.)
- Relation to 'Potomek' (Offspring)
- 'Potomek' means 'offspring' or 'descendant'. It's a more formal or biological term. You could say "Ona jest jego potomkiem" (She is his offspring), but 'córka' is far more common for direct familial reference. 'Potomek' can refer to both sons and daughters.
- Slang/Informal Terms (Rare for 'Daughter')
- Unlike some languages where slang terms for 'daughter' might exist, Polish primarily relies on 'córka' and its diminutive. Any informal terms would likely be very localized or specific to certain subcultures and not standard vocabulary.
- Contrast with 'Syn' (Son)
- The direct counterpart is 'syn', meaning 'son'. Understanding 'córka' often goes hand-in-hand with learning 'syn' as they represent the two primary categories of offspring.
Ma dwie córki i jednego syna.
- Referring to a Granddaughter
- To refer to a granddaughter, you would use 'wnuczka'. This is distinct from 'córka'. Example: "Moja wnuczka jest bardzo inteligentna." (My granddaughter is very intelligent.)

Both 'córka' and 'syn' refer to children and are fundamental family terms.
'Córka' refers exclusively to a female child (daughter), while 'syn' refers exclusively to a male child (son). They are direct gendered counterparts.
Mam córkę i syna. (I have a daughter and a son.)
Both terms refer to young females.
'Dziewczynka' (girl) is a general term for a female child. 'Córka' (daughter) specifically denotes the child's relationship to her parents. A daughter is always a girl, but a girl is not always someone's daughter (e.g., a girl you meet at school).
Ta dziewczynka jest bardzo miła. (This girl is very nice.) Moja córka jest tą dziewczynką. (My daughter is this girl.)
These words are related to family, just like 'córka'.
'Matka' (mother) and 'ojciec' (father) are the parents, while 'córka' is the child. They represent different generations and roles within the family structure.
Matka i ojciec kochają swoją córkę. (Mother and father love their daughter.)
Both are core vocabulary for family.
'Rodzina' (family) is a collective noun referring to the entire unit (parents, children, etc.). 'Córka' refers to a specific member of that unit – a female child.
Moja rodzina jest duża. Mam córkę i dwóch synów. (My family is large. I have a daughter and two sons.)
It's a diminutive form of 'córka'.
'Córka' is the standard, neutral term for daughter. 'Córeczka' is an affectionate diminutive, used to express endearment, typically for young daughters. Using 'córeczka' in a formal context might sound inappropriate.
Kocham moją córkę. (I love my daughter - neutral). Kocham moją córeczkę. (I love my little/dear daughter - affectionate).

نحوه استفاده
Very high
-
Using masculine adjectives with 'córka'.
→
Moja córka jest miła. (My daughter is nice.)
Since 'córka' is feminine, adjectives like 'miła' (nice) must also be feminine. Using 'miły' would be incorrect.
-
Incorrect pluralization.
→
Mam dwie córki. (I have two daughters.)
The plural of 'córka' is 'córki'. Using 'córek' incorrectly after numbers like 'dwie' (two) is a common error. Note that after numbers 5+, the genitive plural 'córek' is used (e.g., 'pięć córek').
-
Using 'córka' when another case is needed.
→
Dziękuję mojej córce. (I thank my daughter.)
In this sentence, 'córce' is in the dative case, not the nominative 'córka'. The case indicates the grammatical function.
-
Confusing 'córka' with 'dziewczynka'.
→
Moja córka to ta dziewczynka. (My daughter is this girl.)
'Dziewczynka' (girl) is a general term for a female child. 'Córka' (daughter) specifies the parental relationship. You can't always assume a girl is someone's daughter.
-
Overusing the diminutive 'córeczka'.
→
Moja córka studiuje prawo. (My daughter studies law.)
While 'córeczka' is affectionate, using it in formal or neutral contexts can sound out of place. 'Córka' is the standard and appropriate term in most situations.
نکات
Master the 'C' and 'Ó'
The Polish 'c' in 'córka' sounds like 'ts' (as in 'cats'). The 'ó' sounds like 'oo' in 'pool'. Practice saying 'TSOOR-kah' with the stress on the first syllable to get the pronunciation right.
Gender Agreement is Key
Remember that 'córka' is feminine. This means any adjectives or possessive pronouns describing her must also be feminine (e.g., 'moja' for 'my', 'mądra' for 'smart').
Context is Everything
While 'córka' is standard, the diminutive 'córeczka' adds affection. Use 'córka' for neutral statements and 'córeczka' when speaking warmly about a young daughter.
Practice with Family
Try to use 'córka' in sentences about your own family or friends' families. For example, 'Mam córkę' (I have a daughter) or 'Jego córka ma pięć lat' (His daughter is five years old).
Visual Association
Connect 'córka' to the English word 'curtsy'. Imagine a daughter performing a polite curtsy. The 'ó' sound is like 'oo' in 'cool', so think 'coo-r-ka' - a daughter might do a 'curtsy'!
Watch Out for Cases
As you advance, learn the different case endings for 'córka'. For example, 'córkę' (accusative), 'córki' (genitive), 'córce' (dative), 'córką' (instrumental), 'córce' (locative). This is crucial for correct sentence structure.
Know the Plural
The plural form is 'córki'. Make sure to use the correct plural when referring to more than one daughter.
Family Importance
Family is highly valued in Polish culture. Using terms like 'córka' is very common and shows an understanding of social norms.
Write Sentences
Write at least three sentences using 'córka' in different contexts: introducing your daughter, describing her, and talking about her future.
Listen Actively
When listening to Polish, actively try to identify the word 'córka' and note the surrounding words to understand its usage in context.
حفظ کنید
روش یادسپاری
Imagine a 'curtsy' (sounds a bit like córka) that a polite daughter might do. Or think of a 'cork' that a daughter might help her father open at a celebration. The 'ó' sound is like 'oo' in 'cool'. So, 'coo-r-ka' - a daughter might make a 'cooing' sound when happy.
تداعی تصویری
Picture a girl wearing a crown, symbolizing royalty ('king's daughter'), and she's performing a graceful 'curtsy'. The 'ó' sound can be visualized as a loop or a circle, perhaps representing the completeness of family. Alternatively, imagine a large 'cork' being pulled from a bottle by a happy daughter.

ریشه کلمه
The word 'córka' originates from Proto-Slavic *"`dъkti"`*, which itself derives from Proto-Indo-European *"`dʰugh₂tḗr`"*. This ancient root is shared across many Indo-European languages, linking Polish to words like English 'daughter', German 'Tochter', and Latin 'filia' (though 'filia' comes from a different PIE root, *"`dʰeh₁-`"* meaning 'to suckle', while *"`dʰugh₂tḗr`"* is believed to relate to 'milk-giver' or 'one who nurses').
معنای اصلی: The Proto-Indo-European root *"`dʰugh₂tḗr`"* is thought to mean 'milk-giver' or 'one who nurses', highlighting the maternal role associated with daughters in ancient societies.
Indo-European -> Balto-Slavic -> Slavic -> West Slavic -> Lechitic -> Polishبافت فرهنگی
The term 'córka' is generally not sensitive. However, discussions about family can be personal. When referring to someone else's daughter, it's polite to use their name or appropriate possessive pronouns. The diminutive 'córeczka' should be used with care, as it implies a level of intimacy and affection.
In English-speaking cultures, 'daughter' is also a fundamental family term. The emotional bond and societal roles associated with daughters can vary but are generally significant. The Polish use of 'córka' and its diminutive 'córeczka' mirrors the affectionate language often used for daughters in English-speaking countries.
