Zaimki osobowe: ja, ty on, ona...”
W języku polskim główne zaimki osobowe to: ja, ty, on, ona, ono, my, wy, oni, one.
(In Polish, the main personal pronouns are: ja, ty, on, ona, ono, my, wy, oni, one.)
- Pronouns are not always necessary in Polish because verbs indicate the subject.
| Osoba (Person) | Liczba pojedyncza (Singular) | Liczba mnoga (Plural) |
|---|---|---|
| 1. osoba (1st person) | ja (I) | my (we) |
| 2. osoba (2nd person) | ty (you) | wy (you) |
| 3. osoba męski (3rd person masculine) | on (he) | oni (they) |
| 3. osoba żeński (3rd person feminine) | ona (she) | one (they) |
| 3. osoba nijaki (3rd person neuter) | ono (it) | — (—) |
Exceptions!
- "Ono" is rare – instead of saying it is a book (Ono jest książką), Poles say To jest książka.
- Formal “you” forms – Pan / Pani / Państwo are used instead of ty/wy in polite or formal situations.
