Learn Polish - Being professional
The Polish word for 'professional' is widely used ... but luckily it is easy to learn as it closely follows the 'tional' transfer rule
To get the Polish for 'professional' is similar to the 'tional' transfer rule we saw in the last lesson:
- We add 'ny' to the end (as we do for other words that end 'al')
- We replace 'ssi' with 'sj'
Profesjonalny
Here are 2 more easy to remember and useful words to grow your vocabulary.
- Material - Materiał
- Service - Serwis
Try saying the Polish for 'professional service' and 'professional material' out loud.
Note 'serwis' is mostly used to talk about 'servicing something' (service or repair) rather than things like 'customer service' but you can use it in this way and you will be understood.
