المعنى
A meal that has a good flavor.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Obiad' is the most important meal. It usually consists of two courses: soup (like Rosół or Żurek) and a main dish (like Pierogi or Schabowy). In this region, the traditional 'smaczny obiad' must include 'rolada' (beef olive), 'kluski śląskie' (Silesian dumplings), and 'modra kapusta' (red cabbage). The concept of 'obiad' often shifts to the evening to match local 'dinner' times, but the traditional dishes remain the same. Business 'lunch' is becoming popular, but people still refer to the meal they eat at home later as 'obiad'.
Always compliment the cook
In Poland, even if the food is just okay, saying 'To smaczny obiad' is considered basic good manners.
Watch the 'd' at the end
In Polish, final voiced consonants become unvoiced. So 'obiad' sounds like it ends with a 't'.

الأسئلة الشائعة
12 أسئلةIt's both and neither. It's the main meal of the day, usually eaten between 1 PM and 5 PM. It's more like a very late lunch or a very early dinner.
Usually no. 'Obiad' implies a warm, cooked meal. A sandwich would be 'kanapka' and part of 'śniadanie' or 'kolacja'.
You say 'Zjadłem smaczny obiad' (masculine) or 'Zjadłam smaczny obiad' (feminine).
'Smaczny' means tasty/good. 'Pyszny' means delicious/excellent. 'Pyszny' is more enthusiastic.
Yes, if the noun changes. But for 'obiad' (masculine), it stays 'smaczny' in the most common cases (Nominative and Accusative).
Yes, it's very common. When they ask 'Czy smakowało?' (Did it taste good?), you answer 'Tak, to był smaczny obiad'.
It's a traditional Sunday family meal, usually the most elaborate 'smaczny obiad' of the week.
No, for drinks we usually use 'dobry' (good) or 'orzeźwiający' (refreshing). 'Smaczny' is for food.
This is due to 'final-obstruent devoicing', a rule in Polish where voiced consonants at the end of words are pronounced as their unvoiced counterparts.
Traditionally yes (soup then main), but in modern life, many people just eat one course and still call it 'obiad'.
The plural is 'smaczne obiady'.
You could say 'niesmaczny obiad', but it's quite blunt. Better to say 'nie smakuje mi' (it doesn't taste good to me).
