- wolny pokój – available room
- potwierdzić rezerwację – to confirm the reservation

Verb Usage and Conjugations
The lesson includes exercises focusing on verbs related to booking and communication like chciałbym zarezerwować (I would like to book), potwierdzić (to confirm), dzwonić (to call), and prosić (to ask/request). Understanding these verbs in present and past tenses is crucial to expressing yourself clearly when making arrangements.
Short Story and Contextual Practice
A short narrative about planning a holiday accommodation in Zakopane helps you see the vocabulary and verbs in a natural context. The story uses everyday expressions to describe booking a room with a balcony and mountain view, confirming bookings via email, and anticipating a pleasant trip.
Language Notes: Polish vs. English Booking Expressions
Unlike English, Polish often uses the verb zarezerwować (to reserve/book) together with the noun phrase, e.g., zarezerwować pokój, where English might simply say “book a room.” Polite requests commonly use the conditional mood, such as Chciałbym zarezerwować (I would like to book), which softens the tone. Also, the phrase proszę o (I ask for) is commonly used in formal written and spoken requests, like Proszę o potwierdzenie rezerwacji (Please confirm the reservation).
Useful English equivalents:
- Chciałbym zarezerwować pokój – I would like to book a room
- Czy mają Państwo wolny pokój? – Do you have an available room?
- Proszę o informację – Please provide information
