Significado
To have contact with something.
Contexto cultural
In Poland, 'mieć do czynienia' is often used when discussing bureaucracy (urzędy). It carries a weight of 'handling' something that might be difficult or formal. In Polish business meetings, using this phrase shows professionalism. It sounds more objective than saying 'I talk to clients'. Using the negative 'nie mieć nic do czynienia' is a very strong statement of social rejection in Poland. It is more definitive than in some other cultures. In Polish legal language, this phrase is used to define the relationship between a person and a piece of evidence or a crime.
The 'Nothing' Rule
To say 'I want nothing to do with it', use 'Nie chcę mieć z tym nic do czynienia'. The word 'nic' (nothing) is the key here.
Case Alert
Always check your endings! 'Z' requires the Instrumental case. 'Z problemem' (masculine), 'z kobietą' (feminine), 'z ludźmi' (plural).
