Contexte culturel
In Polish schools, 'zeszyt' (the notebook) is sacred. Teachers often grade the quality and neatness of a student's notes. Sharing notes (kserowanie notatek) used to be a huge part of university life before digital files became common. In Polish meetings, taking notes is seen as a sign of respect and professional engagement. While paper is still popular, 'robić notatki na laptopie' is now standard in modern Polish offices and universities.
Avoid 'Brać'
Never use 'brać' with 'notatki'. It's the most common mistake for English speakers.
Use 'Z'
Always use the preposition 'z' (from) when saying what the notes are based on, e.g., 'notatki z wykładu'.
