Let’s talk about how to describe location of something. These are the most common words you can use to describe where an object is located in comparison with another object:
Near – blisko
Close – blisko
Between – pomiędzy
Behind – za
In front of – z przodu
Under – pod
Over – nad
On – na
In – w
Opposite – naprzeciwko
I’m attaching a little video with pronunciation:

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.
