Stop! – stop

Policja! – police

Czy ktoś może zadzwonić na policję? – can someone call the police?

Karetka – ambulance

Potrzebujemy karetkę – we need an ambulance

Nie czuję się dobrze – I do not feel good

Zabłądziłem (m)/Zabłądziłam(f) – I’m lost

Nie mogę znaleźć wyjścia – I can’t find my way out

About the Author: Kasia

My name is Kasia Scontsas. I grew near Lublin, Poland and moved to Warsaw to study International Business. I have passion for languages: any languages! Currently I live in New Hampshire. I enjoy skiing, kayaking, biking and paddle boarding. My husband speaks a little Polish, but our daughters are fluent in it! I wanted to make sure that they can communicate with their Polish relatives in our native language. Teaching them Polish since they were born was the best thing I could have given them! I have been writing about learning Polish language and culture for Transparent Language’s Polish Blog since 2010.

    Potrzebujemy karetki (dopełniać), or is it Potrzebujemy karetkę (biernik). I thought that potrzebować takes genitive as an exception to the rule of using the direct object case (accusative-biernik). Am I mistaken?

    Thanks for the effort that you put into these blogs. They are very informative and interesting. Keep up the good work!
