Polish Language Trivia Questions
1. How would you say: "Przepraszam, ile kosztuja te lody?", in English?

From Quiz Basic Polish Language

Answer: Excuse me, how much is that ice cream?

"Excuse me, where can I buy a sponge?" would be: "Przepraszam, gdzie moge kupic gabke?", "Sorry, did I offend you?" would be: "Przepraszam, czy obrazilem cie?", "Excuse me, have I got a pen on my face?" would be: "Przepraszam, czy mam dlugopis na twarzy?". Te lody is actually plural because there is no singular for ice-cream in Polish. It's a bit like sheep in the English language. Also, "przepraszam" has two meanings: sorry and excuse me.

2. What is a way to introduce yourself in Polish?

From Quiz Polish up your Polish

Answer: nazywam sie

You need to say "Nazywam sie..." and then say your first name and surname. "Kogo diloko" doesn't exist in Polish; "do widzenia" is good-bye and "przepraszam" means: excuse me, I am sorry.

3. A new day has started. You wake up and say to the first person you see:

From Quiz Indispensable Basic Polish Phrases

Answer: Dzien dobry

'Dzien dobry' is a way of saying 'good morning', even if it literally means 'good day.' You can also say, more informally, 'witam' or 'czesc' (both these phrases can be used at any time of a day). 'Dobranoc' means 'good night' and 'Dobry wieczor' is the Polish for 'Good evening'.

4. One of the months, "listopad", combines the word for "leaves" (="lis'cie") and "to fall" (="padac'"). Which month is it in English?

From Quiz Polish month names

Answer: November

Some of the other Slavic languages also have a month named "listopad", but not all agree which month it is! In Croatian, for example, "listopad" corresponds to October.

5. How would you say: "Zabraklo mi paliwa", in English?

From Quiz Basic Polish Language

Answer: I've run out of fuel

"My face is dirty" would be: "Moja twarz jest brudna", "I'm on fire" would be: "Pale sie", "My wife is pregnant" would be: "Moja zona jest w ciazy".

6. What does 'Gora' mean in a name such as Jasna Gora?

From Quiz Basic Polish For The Tourist

Answer: Mountain

Jezioro would be a lake. Most is a bridge. Think of the famous Karlov Most in Prague. Wyspa is an island. Wzgorze is a hill.

7. The two Polish months which DO derive their names from Latin, just as they do in English, both start with the letters "ma-". What are their names?

From Quiz Polish month names

Answer: marzec and maj

March is "marzec" (from Latin "Martius"), and May is "maj" (from "Maius"). If you answered "makaron and marchew", you're hungry for noodles and carrots!

8. How would you say: "Prosze mi podac maslo", in English?

From Quiz Basic Polish Language

Answer: Please pass me the butter

"Please don't kick me" would be: "Prosze mnie nie kopac", "Please be quiet" would be: "Prosze sie wyciszyc", "Please stay there" would be: "Prosze tam zostac".

9. How do you thank someone in Polish?

Answer: dziekuje

You can also add the word "bardzo" when you say "dziekuje", to make it "bardzo dziekuje" or "dziekuje bardzo" (thank you very much).

11. In the evening you would say to someone...

From Quiz Polish up your Polish

"Do svidanya" is actually Russian for "goodbye". :) "Dobranoc" is good night and "dzien dobry" means good morning.

12. While April refers to flowers in general, two other Polish month names are related to specific plants which may flower during that time. The first is the month of the linden tree -- "lipiec". Which month is it?

From Quiz Polish month names

Answer: July

The linden tree ("lipa") is also known as basswood or lime tree. Its flowers are popular with Polish people for the making of herbal teas and with Polish beekeepers for the making of prized honey.
