what are you doing?

意思

Asking about someone's current activity.

🌍

文化背景

Poles often use 'Co robisz?' as a literal inquiry. If you ask this, be prepared for a detailed answer about their current task, rather than just a 'Not much'. Among young people, 'Co robisz?' is frequently shortened in texts to 'Co rob?' or replaced by 'Co tam?'. It's the primary way to check availability for gaming or hanging out. Even in modern startups, the 'Pan/Pani' boundary is respected until explicitly invited to use 'Ty'. Using 'Co robisz?' too early can stall your professional integration. In villages, 'Co robisz?' might still carry the older connotation of 'What work are you performing?', reflecting the agrarian roots of the verb.

💡

Drop the 'Ty'

Don't say 'Co ty robisz?' unless you are surprised or angry. Just 'Co robisz?' is more natural.

⚠️

Watch the Register

Never use this with your Polish mother-in-law unless she has explicitly asked you to use 'Ty'!
