Learn Polish - Yes it is / No it isn't

In this lesson we'll see how we can reply to questions that we formed in the previous lessons with yes it is and no it isn't.

Thinking Brain

The Polish for 'yes' and 'no' are short and easy to learn

  • Yes - Tak
  • No - Nie

'Nie' also means 'not'.

  • It is not an ideal hotel - To nie jest idealny hotel

Note the word ordering here - literally 'It not is an ideal hotel'

When answering questions we do it the same way as we do in English

  • Yes, it is an ideal hotel - Tak, to jest idealny hotel
  • No, it's not an ideal hotel - Nie, to nie jest idealny hotel

Heads up!

Word ordering is fairly relaxed in Polish so expect to hear both of these:
