mieć otwarty umysł

to have an open mind

Being receptive to new ideas.

🌍

문화적 배경

In Poland, being 'open-minded' is often linked to the 'Inteligencja' (the intellectual class) tradition, where broad knowledge and curiosity were marks of status. Modern Polish startups heavily use the English loanword 'open-minded' or the direct translation to describe their company culture. Younger Poles use 'mieć otwartą głowę' more frequently than 'umysł', especially when talking about creativity or social issues. In more traditional rural areas, 'otwartość' might be viewed with slight suspicion if it means abandoning long-held traditions, though this is changing rapidly.
