§ "Wynik" vs. "Rezultat"
Many English speakers get confused between wynik and rezultat. Both can be translated as "result" or "outcome." However, wynik specifically refers to the quantifiable or measurable outcome, often in terms of numbers, scores, or definite findings. Think of it as the 'score' or the 'data' produced by a process.
Jaki jest wynik egzaminu? (What is the result of the exam?)
Here, you're asking for a specific score or grade. It's a numerical outcome.
Rezultat, on the other hand, is more general. It can refer to any consequence or effect, not necessarily a numerical one. It’s about the overall impact or conclusion.
To jest rezultat naszej ciężkiej pracy. (This is the result of our hard work.)
This refers to the overall achievement or success, not a specific number.
§ Incorrect Cases with "Wynik"
As a noun, wynik changes its ending depending on its role in the sentence. This is called declension. A common mistake is using the wrong case.
- DEFINITION
- Nominative: wynik (the result)
This is the basic form, used when wynik is the subject of the sentence.
Jaki jest ostateczny wynik? (What is the final result?)
- DEFINITION
- Genitive: wyniku (of the result)
Used after prepositions like bez (without), dla (for), do (to), or to show possession.
Nie jestem zadowolony z tego wyniku. (I am not happy with this result.)
- DEFINITION
- Dative: wynikowi (to/for the result)
Less common, but important when wynik is the indirect object.
Przyglądał się każdemu wynikowi z uwagą. (He looked at every result with attention.)
- DEFINITION
- Accusative: wynik (the result)
Used when wynik is the direct object of the verb. It often looks the same as the nominative for masculine inanimate nouns.
Oczekujemy dobrego wyniku. (We expect a good result.)
§ Using "Wynik" with Verbs
Sometimes learners struggle with which verbs to pair with wynik. Here are some common collocations:
Osiągnąć wynik (to achieve a result)
Musimy osiągnąć lepszy wynik. (We must achieve a better result.)
Sprawdzić wynik (to check the result)
Czy możesz sprawdzić wynik testu? (Can you check the result of the test?)
Podać wynik (to give/state the result)
Lekarz podał mi wynik badań. (The doctor gave me the results of the tests.)
豆知識

知っておくべき文法
Nouns in Polish have grammatical gender (masculine, feminine, neuter). 'Wynik' is a masculine noun. This affects adjective and verb agreement, as well as declension.
Dobry wynik (a good result - masculine adjective ending '-y').
Polish nouns decline, meaning their endings change depending on their grammatical function in a sentence (case). 'Wynik' will change its ending when used in different cases.
Nie jestem zadowolony z wyniku (I am not happy with the result - genitive case).
The plural form of 'wynik' is 'wyniki'. The 'k' often softens to 'ki' in plural forms for masculine nouns ending in 'k' or 'g'.
Osiągnęliśmy dobre wyniki (We achieved good results).
When 'wynik' is used as a direct object, it will be in the accusative case. For masculine inanimate nouns like 'wynik', the accusative form is the same as the nominative (base) form.
Spodziewam się dobrego wyniku (I expect a good result).
Prepositions often govern specific cases. For example, 'po' (after) with 'wynik' can often take the locative case (po wyniku - after the result), but also the accusative case depending on the meaning.
Po ogłoszeniu wyniku wszyscy się cieszyli (After the announcement of the result, everyone was happy).

使い方
Wynik is a versatile word you'll encounter frequently. It's often used when talking about results, scores, or consequences. Think of it as the 'what happened' after something else took place. For example, after an exam, you get a 'wynik' (a score). After a match, there's a 'wynik' (a result).
A common mistake is to confuse 'wynik' with 'powód' (reason). While 'wynik' is the outcome, 'powód' is what caused it. Remember, 'wynik' is the 'what' and 'powód' is the 'why'. Also, don't confuse it with 'skutek', which also means 'effect' or 'consequence', but 'wynik' is often used for more concrete, measurable outcomes like scores or final decisions.
