One of the first questions you will be asked by people you meet is 'what do you like?' so let's get to know this all important verb.

I like sport - Lubię sport

So how do you think you would say the following phrase. Click the play button to see if you are right.

I like a natural taste -

What do you like? - Co lubisz?
You like camping - Lubisz kemping

The way we ask what someone likes is probably familiar to you now. We just add 'czy' to the start of the sentence.

Do you like jazz? - Czy lubisz jazz? -

Most music genres (jazz, rock, pop, hip-hop, rap) are the same as the English names so try asking a few sentences out loud like 'Do you like pop?'

You might have started to notice some patterns

The I form of a verb - myślę, mam, lubię - ends in 'ę' or 'm'
The you (informal) form of a verb - myślisz, masz, lubisz - always ends with 'sz'

These patterns are true for almost all verbs in Polish. Later we'll see how you can work out the other forms (he/she/it/we/they) using these patterns.
