When you're first starting out with Polish, it's super helpful to learn pronouns right away. They're those little words that stand in for people or things, like "I," "you," "he," and so on. Today, we're looking at "my" – that's we in English.
You'll use "my" when you're talking about yourself and at least one other person. For example, if you and a friend are going somewhere, you'd say "My idziemy" (We are going). It's a basic but essential building block for constructing simple sentences.
When you're starting to learn Polish, you'll quickly encounter pronouns like "my." This simple two-letter word means "we" in English, and it's essential for forming basic sentences about groups of people, including yourself.
You'll use "my" when you want to say that you and others are doing something together. For instance, if you and your friends are going to the cinema, you would use "my" to express this collective action.
It's an invariable word, meaning its form doesn't change based on gender or case, which makes it relatively straightforward to use once you've learned it.
So, get comfortable with "my" because it's a building block for more complex Polish sentences!
When you're speaking Polish at a C1 level, understanding the nuances of pronouns, especially "my," becomes important. While "my" directly translates to "we," its usage can sometimes be implied by verb conjugations, meaning you might omit it if the context is clear. However, using "my" explicitly adds emphasis or clarifies when there might be ambiguity. For example, if you want to stress that it is *we* who are doing something, not someone else, you would include "my." This level of understanding allows for more precise and emphatic communication.
When we say 'my' in Polish, we're talking about 'we' in English. It's a simple word that helps us refer to a group of people, including ourselves. For example, if you want to say 'We are learning Polish,' you would use 'my.' It's a fundamental pronoun that you'll use very often.

- Pronoun for 'we'
- Refers to speaker + others
- Used as the subject of a sentence
§ What 'my' means in Polish
The Polish word my is straightforward. It means 'we' in English. Just like in English, 'we' refers to a group of people that includes the speaker. It's a basic but super important word you'll use all the time.
- DEFINITION
- The Polish pronoun that means 'we'. It refers to a group of people including the person speaking.
§ When to use 'my'
You use my exactly when you would use 'we' in English. Think about any situation where you're talking about yourself and at least one other person. It can be two people, a small group, or a large crowd. As long as you're part of that group, you use my.
My idziemy do sklepu. (We are going to the store.)
This is a classic example. You and some other people are off to the store. Simple.
Co my robimy dzisiaj? (What are we doing today?)
Here, someone is asking about plans for a group that includes themselves.
§ 'My' and verb conjugations
This is where Polish gets a little different from English. In Polish, verbs change their endings depending on who is doing the action. For my (we), the verb ending is almost always -my. This is super helpful because often, even if you don't say my, the verb ending tells you 'we' are the ones doing it.
Czy my jemy obiad? (Are we eating dinner?)
Here, 'jemy' (we eat) has that -my ending. You could technically just say "Czy jemy obiad?" and it would still mean "Are we eating dinner?" because of the verb ending.
Another example:
Uczymy się polskiego. (We are learning Polish.)
Notice how my isn't even there! But 'Uczymy' (we learn) clearly indicates 'we' as the subject.
§ When to include 'my' (and when not to)
So, if you can drop my, when do you actually use it? Good question! You use it for emphasis or clarity.
- For emphasis: If you want to really highlight that *we* are doing something, in contrast to someone else.
- For clarity: If the context isn't super clear and you want to make sure everyone knows you're talking about 'we'.
Most of the time, especially in casual conversation, native speakers often omit my if the verb ending does the job. As a learner, it's totally fine to include it always. You won't sound wrong, just perhaps a little more formal or emphatic.
Oni idą, ale my zostajemy. (They are going, but we are staying.)
In this case, my is used to clearly contrast with 'oni' (they). You're emphasizing that *we* are doing the opposite action.
Practice using my in simple sentences. Combine it with verbs you already know, making sure that verb has the -my ending. You'll get the hang of it quickly!
§ Understanding 'my' (we) in Polish
Alright, let's talk about the Polish word my. It simply means 'we'. Straightforward, right? But like many things in Polish, there are a few important details to keep in mind to use it correctly. This isn't just about knowing the definition; it's about making sure your sentences sound natural and grammatically correct.
§ Basic use of 'my'
You use my when you want to emphasize 'we' or when the verb alone isn't clear enough, though that's rare. Most of the time, the verb ending will do the job.
- DEFINITION
- My - we (first person plural pronoun)
My idziemy do sklepu.
Translation hint: We are going to the shop.
My lubimy czytać książki.
Translation hint: We like to read books.
§ When to use 'my'
For emphasis: If you really want to stress that *we* are doing something, not someone else, then use my.
To my zrobiliśmy!
Translation hint: We did it! (Implying: *We*, not them.)
When starting a sentence: It's common to include my at the beginning of a sentence, though it's not strictly necessary.
My mieszkamy w Polsce.
Translation hint: We live in Poland.
§ Cases and 'my'
Now, here's where Polish grammar gets a bit more involved. While my is the Nominative (subject) form, it changes depending on its function in the sentence. You won't use my for all situations where you mean 'us' or 'our'.
- IMPORTANT
- The word my only exists in the Nominative case (subject of the sentence). For other cases, you'll use different forms of 'we/us/our'.
Here are some common forms you'll encounter that mean 'us' or 'our', but they are NOT my:
Nas (Genitive, Accusative) - us/our. Used for 'of us', 'for us', 'us' (as a direct object).
Nie ma nas w domu.
Translation hint: There is no us (we are not) at home. (Genitive after 'nie ma')
On widział nas.
Translation hint: He saw us. (Accusative direct object)
Nam (Dative) - to us/for us.
Daj nam spokój.
Translation hint: Give us peace (Leave us alone).
Nami (Instrumental) - with us/by us.
Idziesz z nami?
Translation hint: Are you going with us?
Nasze/nasza/nasz/nasi (Possessive adjective) - our.
To jest nasz dom.
Translation hint: This is our house.
§ Prepositions with 'my' forms
When using prepositions, you will almost always use a different form of 'us' than my. Prepositions typically govern specific cases. For 'with us', it's z nami (z + Instrumental). For 'about us', it's o nas (o + Locative, which takes Genitive forms for pronouns).
Mówiłem o nas.
Translation hint: I was talking about us.
Chodź do nas.
Translation hint: Come to us.
In summary, my means 'we' and acts as the subject. For other grammatical roles, Polish uses different forms. Keep practicing, and you'll get the hang of it.
Polish Word: my
- DEFINITION
- we
The Polish word my means "we" in English. It's a fundamental pronoun you'll use constantly. Let's break down where you'll actually hear and use this word.
§ At Work
In a professional setting, "my" is crucial for teamwork and reporting. You'll often hear it in meetings, project updates, or when discussing shared responsibilities.
To my zrobimy to zadanie do piątku. (We will do this task by Friday.)
My potrzebujemy więcej czasu na ten projekt. (We need more time for this project.)
It's essential for conveying collective action or shared needs.
§ At School or University
When you're a student, or if you're talking about students, "my" comes up frequently. Group projects, study sessions, and discussions about classes are all common contexts.
My mamy egzamin jutro. (We have an exam tomorrow.)
Czy my możemy iść do biblioteki? (Can we go to the library?)
It's useful for making suggestions or asking questions on behalf of a group.
§ In the News and Public Discourse
In news reports, political speeches, or general public discussions, "my" is often used to refer to a nation, a community, or a collective viewpoint.
My, Polacy, jesteśmy dumni z naszej historii. (We, Poles, are proud of our history.)
My wierzymy w wolność słowa. (We believe in freedom of speech.)
This usage is common in more formal or rhetorical contexts.
§ Everyday Conversations
Even in casual chats, "my" is essential. Planning activities, sharing opinions, or just talking about what you and others are doing will involve this word.
Co my jemy na obiad? (What are we eating for dinner?)
My idziemy do kina. (We are going to the cinema.)
Cieszymy się, że my jesteśmy razem. (We are happy to be together.)
As you can see, "my" is a simple but incredibly versatile word that's vital for expressing collective actions and ideas in Polish, no matter the context.
§ Don't confuse 'my' with 'ja'
Many beginners, especially those coming from English, sometimes mix up 'my' (we) with 'ja' (I). Remember, they are two completely different words with different meanings. 'Ja' is singular, referring to just yourself. 'My' is plural, referring to a group that includes you.
Ja jestem studentem. (I am a student.)
My jesteśmy studentami. (We are students.)
§ Verb conjugation with 'my'
This is super important. In Polish, verbs change their endings depending on the subject. For 'my' (we), the verb ending is almost always '-my'. If you forget this, your sentences will sound off and be grammatically incorrect.
- Wrong
- My idziesz. (We you go - grammatically incorrect)
- Correct
- My idziemy. (We go.)
My czytamy książkę. (We are reading a book.)
My jemy obiad. (We are eating lunch.)
§ Omitting 'my'
In Polish, because verb endings tell you who the subject is, you can often drop pronouns like 'my' if the context is clear. This is very common in spoken Polish and makes sentences sound more natural. Beginners sometimes overuse 'my' because they're used to always including a subject in English. It's not a 'mistake' in terms of grammar, but it can make your Polish sound a bit clunky.
- Common in English
- We are going to the shop.
- Natural Polish (with 'my')
- My idziemy do sklepu.
- More natural Polish (omitting 'my')
- Idziemy do sklepu. (We are going to the shop.)
§ Not using the correct case for 'we' when it's not the subject
'My' is the nominative form (the subject of the sentence). When 'we' is the object of a verb or preposition, you need to use a different case. This is a common challenge for English speakers because English doesn't have grammatical cases in the same way Polish does.
- For example, if someone is talking to us, you wouldn't use 'my'. You would use 'nas'.
- If something belongs to us, you wouldn't use 'my'. You would use 'nasze' (our).
On widzi nas. (He sees us.)
To jest nasz dom. (This is our house.)
Learning Polish cases takes time and practice. For now, just remember that 'my' is for 'we' as the doer of the action. Other situations will require other forms, which you will learn as you progress.
§ What 'my' Means
- Polish Word
- my
- Definition
- we
- CEFR Level
- A1
The Polish word my is straightforward: it means 'we'. It's a pronoun you'll use constantly in everyday conversation. Like in English, it refers to a group of people that includes the speaker.
§ How to Use 'my'
You use my just like 'we' in English, usually as the subject of a sentence. Remember that in Polish, the verb ending changes based on who is doing the action. For 'my', the verb ending for present tense verbs is usually -my.
My jesteśmy przyjaciółmi. (We are friends.)
My czytamy książkę. (We are reading a book.)
Dokąd my idziemy? (Where are we going?)
§ 'My' vs. 'Nasz' and 'Nam'
It's common for beginners to confuse my with other related words like 'nasz' and 'nam'. Let's clarify:
- My: This means 'we'. It's the nominative case pronoun, used when 'we' are the subject of the sentence (doing the action).
My jedziemy do Warszawy. (We are going to Warsaw.)
- Nasz / Nasza / Nasze: These mean 'our'. They are possessive adjectives, meaning they show ownership and agree in gender and number with the noun they modify.
To jest nasz dom. (This is our house.)
To jest nasza książka. (This is our book.)
- Nam: This means 'us' or 'to us'. It's the dative case form of 'my', used when 'we' are the indirect object of the verb (receiving the action or benefiting from it).
On dał nam prezenty. (He gave us presents.)
The key difference is their grammatical function:
- Use my when 'we' are performing the action.
- Use 'nasz/nasza/nasze' to show possession ('our').
- Use 'nam' when 'we' are the indirect recipient ('to us').
§ Summary
My is a basic, essential word for 'we' in Polish. Master its use as the subject of a sentence, and remember that the verb ending often carries the 'we' meaning, so my can sometimes be omitted. Keep practicing, and these distinctions will become second nature.
How Formal Is It?
"My, naród polski, oświadczamy naszą wolę."
"My idziemy do kina."
"My tam wpadniemy później."
"My lubimy bawić się razem."

informalइसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें
The Polish word "my" means "we" in English. It's a personal pronoun and is used as the subject of a sentence. For example, in the sentence "My jemy obiad," which means "We are eating dinner," "my" is the subject.
A common mistake for English speakers is sometimes forgetting to use "my" when the verb conjugation already implies "we." While Polish verbs often carry enough information to indicate the subject (e.g., "Jemy obiad" also means "We are eating dinner"), explicitly using "my" is perfectly fine for emphasis or clarity. Another mistake is confusing it with similar-sounding words or using it in contexts where a different pronoun is needed.
सुझाव
Basic use of 'my'
In Polish, 'my' directly translates to 'we'. It's used when the speaker is part of the group performing an action or being described.
Pronunciation of 'my'
Pronounce 'my' like the English word 'me' but with a slightly softer 'y' sound, similar to the 'i' in 'sit'.
Example: 'My jemy.'
To say 'We eat.' in Polish, you would say: 'My jemy.'
Example: 'My śpimy.'
To say 'We sleep.' in Polish, you would say: 'My śpimy.'
Omitting 'my' with verb conjugation
In Polish, the pronoun 'my' is often omitted because the verb ending already indicates 'we'. For example, 'Jemy' (we eat) is more common than 'My jemy.'
When to use 'my' explicitly
Use 'my' explicitly for emphasis or clarity, especially when you want to highlight that 'we' are doing something, as opposed to someone else.
Example: 'My, a nie oni.'
If you want to say 'We, not them.', you would use 'my': 'My, a nie oni.'
'My' in questions
You can also use 'my' in questions. For example, 'Czy my idziemy?' translates to 'Are we going?'
Don't confuse with 'mi'
Do not confuse 'my' with 'mi', which means 'to me' or 'me' (dative case).
Practice with simple sentences
Start by forming simple sentences like 'My czytamy.' (We read.) or 'My pracujemy.' (We work.) to get comfortable with its usage.
