§ Basic meaning of ulica

Street (a public road in a city or town with houses or buildings on one or both sides).

The word ulica is feminine in Polish. This means any adjectives or other words describing it will also be in their feminine form. This is super important for correct grammar.

§ How to use ulica in sentences

Let's look at some examples of ulica in action. Pay close attention to how it changes.

  • Accusative (direct object, the street): ulicę
  • Instrumental (by/with the street): ulicą
