The Polish verb wystarczyć translates to 'to be sufficient,' 'to suffice,' or 'to be enough.' It's used when something meets a required amount, quality, or need. You'll hear this word in everyday conversations, when discussing resources, time, or even personal capabilities. It implies that a certain quantity or quality is adequate for a particular purpose.
- Core Meaning
- To be enough or adequate for a specific purpose or need.
- Contexts
- Resources (money, food), time, effort, quantities, abilities.
- Synonymous Concepts
- Being sufficient, meeting requirements, being adequate.
Czy tych pieniędzy wystarczy na zakup nowego samochodu?
Mam nadzieję, że mojego czasu wystarczy na dokończenie projektu.
Czy tej porcji jedzenia wystarczy dla wszystkich gości?
- Usage Scenario
- Imagine planning a party. You need to know if you have enough food. You might ask, 'Czy tej ilości jedzenia wystarczy dla wszystkich?' (Will this amount of food be enough for everyone?). This highlights the practical application of the word in everyday planning and resource management.
- Another Scenario
- When discussing a budget, you might say, 'Mam nadzieję, że tych pieniędzy wystarczy do końca miesiąca.' (I hope this money will suffice until the end of the month.). This shows its use in financial contexts and planning.
The verb wystarczyć is typically followed by a subject (what is sufficient) and often a dative pronoun or noun indicating for whom or what it is sufficient. It can also be used impersonally. Here are common sentence structures:
- Subject + wystarczyć (dative pronoun)
- This is the most common structure. The subject is what is sufficient, and the dative pronoun indicates the person for whom it is sufficient. For example, 'Mi wystarczy jedna porcja.' (One portion is enough for me.) The dative pronouns are: mi (me), ci (you informal), mu (him), jej (her), nam (us), wam (you plural/formal), im (them).
- Subject + wystarczyć + dla (kogoś/czegoś)
- Sometimes, instead of the dative, the preposition 'dla' (for) is used with the genitive case. 'Ta ilość jedzenia wystarczy dla wszystkich.' (This amount of food will be enough for everyone.)
- Subject + wystarczyć + na (coś)
- This structure indicates what the sufficiency is for. 'Czy tych pieniędzy wystarczy na bilet?' (Will this money be enough for a ticket?). 'Na' is followed by the accusative case.
- Impersonal use (often with 'wystarczy, że...')
- The phrase 'wystarczy, że...' means 'it is enough that...' followed by a clause. ' Wystarczy, że powiesz mi prawdę.' (It is enough that you tell me the truth.)
Nam wystarczy dwadzieścia złotych na obiad.
Ta ilość wody wystarczy na podlewanie wszystkich roślin.

You'll encounter wystarczyć in a wide range of real-life situations in Poland. It's a very common and practical word.
- In the Supermarket/Shop
- When buying groceries, you might ask about quantities: 'Czy jedna paczka ryżu wystarczy dla trzech osób?' (Will one pack of rice be enough for three people?). Or when checking your budget: 'Mam tylko pięćdziesiąt złotych, mam nadzieję, że wystarczy na zakupy.' (I only have fifty zlotys, I hope it will be enough for shopping.)
- At Home/Family Gatherings
- Preparing a meal or planning an event: 'Czy tej zupy wystarczy dla wszystkich?' (Will this soup be enough for everyone?). Or discussing resources: 'Mam nadzieję, że nam wystarczy paliwa na całą podróż.' (I hope we will have enough fuel for the whole trip.)
- In a Work/Study Context
- Discussing project timelines or resource allocation: 'Czy tego czasu wystarczy na ukończenie zadania?' (Will this time be enough to complete the task?). Or about personal capacity: 'Nie wiem, czy moich umiejętności wystarczy do tej pracy.' (I don't know if my skills will be sufficient for this job.)
- General Discussions
- When talking about needs and provisions: ' Wystarczy powiedzieć 'tak' lub 'nie'.' (It is enough to say 'yes' or 'no'.). Or about personal satisfaction: 'Czy ta nagroda wystarczy jako rekompensata?' (Will this award be enough as compensation?).
A: Czy te dwie godziny wystarczą na przygotowanie prezentacji?
B: Tak, myślę, że powinno wystarczyć.
Learners of Polish might make a few common mistakes when using wystarczyć. Understanding these can help you avoid them.
- Using the wrong case after 'dla' or 'na'
- Mistake: Using the nominative case after 'dla' or 'na' when the genitive (for 'dla') or accusative (for 'na') is required. For example, saying 'wystarczy dla ja' instead of 'wystarczy dla mnie'. Or 'wystarczy na ja' instead of 'wystarczy na mnie'.
- Correct: 'Wystarczy dla mnie.' (It's enough for me.) 'Wystarczy na to.' (It's enough for that.)
- Confusing with 'starczyć' (to last, to be enough - imperfective)
- Mistake: Using 'wystarczyć' when the context implies a continuous process or duration rather than a completed sufficiency. 'Starczyć' is the imperfective counterpart and is used for ongoing sufficiency or when something lasts for a period. For example, saying 'Te pieniądze wystarczyły mi na rok' when you mean they lasted you for a year.
- Correct: 'Te pieniądze starczały mi na rok.' (This money lasted me for a year - describing a past duration.) 'Mam nadzieję, że te pieniądze starcza mi na cały rok.' (I hope this money will last me for the whole year - future duration.) 'Wystarczyć' is for a specific point or completion of sufficiency.
- Incorrect verb conjugation
- Mistake: Forgetting to conjugate the verb according to the subject, especially in plural forms. Forgetting that 'wystarczyć' changes form based on number and person.
- Correct: 'Te dwie butelki wody wystarczą nam.' (These two bottles of water will be enough for us.) (Plural subject 'butelki' requires plural verb 'wystarczą'.)
- Omitting the dative pronoun when it's implied
- Mistake: Saying 'Wystarczy dwadzieścia złotych' when it's unclear who it's for. While sometimes contextually understood, it's often better to be explicit.
- Correct: 'Nam wystarczy dwadzieścia złotych.' (Twenty zlotys will be enough for us.)
While wystarczyć is a very common and useful verb, there are other words and phrases that convey similar meanings, sometimes with subtle differences in nuance or formality.
- Starczyć (imperfective)
- Meaning: To last, to be enough (imperfective aspect). This verb is the imperfective counterpart to 'wystarczyć'. It implies a continuous state of being enough or lasting over time.
- Comparison: 'Wystarczyć' is perfective, focusing on the completion of sufficiency or a specific instance. 'Starczyć' is imperfective, focusing on the duration or ongoing nature of sufficiency. Example: 'Mam nadzieję, że tych pieniędzy wystarczy na prezent.' (I hope this money will be enough for a gift - a specific instance.) vs. 'Mam nadzieję, że tych pieniędzy starcza na wszystkie moje wydatki.' (I hope this money lasts for all my expenses - ongoing.)
- Być wystarczającym (to be sufficient - phrase)
- Meaning: To be sufficient. This is a more descriptive phrase using the verb 'być' (to be) and the adjective 'wystarczający' (sufficient).
- Comparison: This phrase is often used in more formal or technical contexts. 'Wystarczyć' is more idiomatic and common in everyday speech. Example: 'Ten raport jest wystarczający do podjęcia decyzji.' (This report is sufficient for making a decision.) vs. 'Ten raport wystarczy do podjęcia decyzji.' (This report will suffice for making a decision.)
- Posiadać wystarczającą ilość (to possess a sufficient quantity)
- Meaning: To have enough of something. This is a more formal and descriptive phrase.
- Comparison: This is a much more verbose way to express sufficiency, typically found in formal documents or technical descriptions. 'Wystarczyć' is concise and natural for spoken language. Example: 'Firma posiada wystarczającą ilość surowców.' (The company possesses a sufficient quantity of raw materials.) vs. 'Firmie wystarczy surowców.' (The company will have enough raw materials.)
- Dość (enough - adverb)
- Meaning: Enough. This is an adverb that can modify adjectives or adverbs, or be used predicatively.
- Comparison: 'Dość' is not a verb itself but an adverb. It's often used in conjunction with adjectives or adverbs to indicate a sufficient degree. Example: 'Mam dość tego.' (I have enough of this.) or 'To jest dość dobre.' (This is good enough.) While related, it doesn't replace the verb 'wystarczyć' which describes the act of being sufficient.
How Formal Is It?

难度评级
The verb itself is straightforward, but understanding the correct case usage after prepositions like 'na', 'dla', and 'do', as well as the dative case with the subject, can be challenging for learners. Recognizing its perfective aspect is also key.
Applying 'wystarczyć' correctly in writing requires a good grasp of Polish grammar, particularly case endings and verb aspects. Avoiding confusion with 'starczyć' is also important.
While the meaning is simple, producing sentences with correct case and preposition usage in spontaneous speech can be difficult. Native speakers often use the dative construction naturally, which might be less intuitive for learners.
The meaning is usually clear from context, and the pronunciation is not overly complex. Understanding the dative constructions is the main challenge.

Dative Case (Celownik)
The verb 'wystarczyć' often uses the dative case for the person for whom something is sufficient. For example: 'Mi wystarczy.' (It is enough for me.) Here, 'mi' is the dative of 'ja' (I).
Prepositions 'na' and 'dla' with Cases
'Wystarczyć na' is followed by the accusative case (e.g., 'wystarczyć na bilet'), and 'wystarczyć dla' is followed by the genitive case (e.g., 'wystarczyć dla wszystkich').
Verb Aspect (Perfective vs. Imperfective)
'Wystarczyć' is a perfective verb, indicating a completed action or state. Its imperfective counterpart is 'starczyć', used for ongoing sufficiency or duration.
Subject-Verb Agreement
The verb must agree in number with the subject. If the subject is plural, the verb takes the plural form: 'Te pieniądze wystarczą.' (This money will suffice - plural subject 'pieniądze').
Impersonal Constructions
The phrase 'Wystarczy, że...' (It is enough that...) introduces a subordinate clause and is used impersonally, meaning the verb 'wystarczyć' doesn't change based on a specific subject in the main clause.

容易混淆的词
'Starczyć' is the imperfective counterpart of 'wystarczyć'. While both mean 'to be enough', 'wystarczyć' refers to a completed sufficiency or a specific instance, whereas 'starczyć' implies duration or an ongoing state of being enough. For example, 'Te pieniądze wystarczą na dzisiaj' (this money will be enough for today - specific) vs. 'Te pieniądze starczą na miesiąc' (this money will last for a month - duration).
'Dość' is an adverb meaning 'enough'. It's not a verb. You can say 'Mam dość' (I have enough) or 'To jest dość dobre' (This is good enough). 'Wystarczyć' is the verb that expresses the act of being sufficient.
'Wymagać' means 'to require' or 'to demand'. It's the opposite of sufficiency. If something 'wystarcza', it means it meets a 'wymóg' (requirement), but 'wymagać' itself doesn't mean 'to be enough'.

Informal/Colloquial容易混淆
Both verbs relate to the concept of 'enough' or 'sufficiency'.
'Wystarczyć' is perfective and implies a completed action or a specific instance of sufficiency. For example, 'Czy tych jabłek wystarczy na ciasto?' (Will these apples be enough for the cake? - a specific use). 'Starczyć' is imperfective and implies duration or an ongoing state of being enough. For example, 'Mam nadzieję, że tych jabłek starczy na całą zimę.' (I hope these apples will last for the whole winter - duration).
Wystarczyć: Ta porcja kawy wystarczy mi na jeden kubek. Starczyć: Ta paczka kawy starczy mi na tydzień.
'Dość' means 'enough' and is related to the concept of sufficiency.
'Wystarczyć' is a verb meaning 'to be sufficient'. 'Dość' is an adverb that can modify adjectives or be used predicatively. You can't use 'dość' as a verb in the same way. For example, you say 'Mi wystarczy' (It is enough for me), but you can't say 'Mi dość' to mean the same thing. You can say 'Mam dość' (I have enough), which is different.
Wystarczyć: Mi wystarczy tej zupy. Dość: Mam dość tej zupy.
This phrase directly translates to 'to be sufficient'.
'Wystarczyć' is a single, common verb. 'Być wystarczającym' is a phrase using the verb 'być' (to be) and the adjective 'wystarczający' (sufficient). While the meaning is very similar, 'wystarczyć' is more idiomatic and frequently used in everyday speech. 'Być wystarczającym' can sound more formal or descriptive.
Wystarczyć: Te pieniądze wystarczą. Być wystarczającym: Te pieniądze są wystarczające.
Both relate to needs and quantities.
'Potrzebować' means 'to need'. 'Wystarczyć' means 'to be enough'. They are often related: if something 'wystarcza', it means your 'potrzeba' (need) is met. If something 'nie wystarcza', you still 'potrzebujesz' more. They represent opposite sides of the same coin: need vs. provision.
Potrzebować: Potrzebuję więcej czasu. Wystarczyć: Ten czas nie wystarczy.
Both relate to suitability for a purpose.
'Nadawać się' means 'to be suitable' or 'to be fit for a purpose'. 'Wystarczyć' means 'to be sufficient' in terms of quantity or quality. You can have enough of something ('wystarczyć'), but it might not be suitable ('nie nadawać się'). Or something might be suitable ('nadawać się'), but you might not have enough of it ('nie wystarczyć').
Nadawać się: Ten nóż nadaje się do krojenia chleba. Wystarczyć: Czy tego chleba wystarczy?

Using nominative case after 'dla' or 'na'.
→
Wystarczy dla <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>wszystkich</mark>. Wystarczy na <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>chleb</mark>.
The preposition 'dla' requires the genitive case, and 'na' requires the accusative case. Using the nominative case is grammatically incorrect.
-
Confusing 'wystarczyć' (perfective) with 'starczyć' (imperfective).
→
Te pieniądze wystarczą na dzisiaj. (Specific instance) vs. Te pieniądze starczą na miesiąc. (Duration)
'Wystarczyć' refers to a completed sufficiency or a single instance, while 'starczyć' refers to something lasting over time. Using the wrong aspect changes the meaning.
-
Omitting the dative pronoun when it's natural to include.
→
Mi wystarczy. (It's enough for me.)
While sometimes contextually understood, explicitly stating 'mi', 'ci', 'nam', etc., makes the sentence clearer and more natural, especially for learners.
-
Incorrect plural conjugation.
→
Te dwie butelki wody wystarczą.
When the subject is plural (e.g., 'dwie butelki'), the verb must also be in the plural form ('wystarczą'), not the singular ('wystarczy').
-
Using 'wystarczyć' as an adverb.
→
Mam <mark class='bg-violet-200 dark:bg-violet-800 px-0.5 rounded'>dość</mark>. (I have enough.)
'Wystarczyć' is a verb. For the adverb 'enough', use 'dość' or 'wystarczająco' (as an adverb modifying an adjective/verb).

挑战
Try to use 'wystarczyć' in five different sentences today, each describing a different scenario: one about money, one about time, one about food, one about effort, and one about a personal feeling of satisfaction. Ensure you use the correct case after any prepositions.
词源
The verb 'wystarczyć' is derived from the prefix 'wy-' (out, thoroughly) and the verb 'starczyć' (to suffice, to last). The root 'starczyć' itself is related to words concerning measure and quantity.
原始含义： The original concept likely involved 'starczyć' meaning to last or endure, with 'wy-' adding a sense of completion or sufficiency.
Indo-European, Slavic branch.文化背景
Using 'wystarczyć' is generally neutral. However, in contexts where scarcity is a sensitive topic, ensuring that something 'wystarczy' for everyone can be a matter of social importance.
While English has 'enough' and 'sufficient', the Polish 'wystarczyć' often carries a more active sense of 'meeting' a requirement, especially when used with dative pronouns (e.g., 'mi wystarczy'). It's less passive than just 'is enough'.

常见问题
10 个问题'Wystarczyć' is a perfective verb, meaning it describes a completed action or a specific instance of sufficiency. For example, 'Czy tych pieniędzy wystarczy na bilet?' (Will this money be enough for a ticket?). 'Starczyć' is imperfective, describing an ongoing state or duration of sufficiency. For example, 'Mam nadzieję, że te pieniądze starczą na cały miesiąc.' (I hope this money will last for the whole month.). Think of 'wystarczyć' as 'to suffice' and 'starczyć' as 'to last' or 'to be enough over time'.
You use the dative case. For example, 'Mi wystarczy' (It is enough for me), 'Ci wystarczy' (It is enough for you - informal), 'Mu wystarczy' (It is enough for him), 'Jej wystarczy' (It is enough for her), 'Nam wystarczy' (It is enough for us), 'Wam wystarczy' (It is enough for you - plural/formal), 'Im wystarczy' (It is enough for them). The subject is the thing that is sufficient.
The most common prepositions are 'na' and 'dla'.
