1. How are you in Polish
Jak się masz?
Pronounced: Yak shie mash
This is  the most popular way in Polish to ask How are you in Polish. It’s an informal phrase, so
you can’t use these words at work, but if you see your friend (also boyfriend or girlfriend) – it’s
the best way to ask.
2. How are you doing?  – formal

Jak się Pan/Pani ma?
Pronounced: Jak shie Pan/Pani ma
This is a formal way of asking how are you in Polish. To make it formal – {Jak się masz} – you
have to add [Pan] or [Pani], depending on gender. As a result,  Polish people ask [Jak się Pan/
Pani ma]. We can also translate it like [How are you doing, Sir?], or [How are you doing, Miss?].
Pan means {Sir}, Pani – {Miss}.
If you talk to your friend you don’t have to add {Pan} or {Pani}.
 3.
What’s new? How are things?
Co nowego
Pronounced: Tso novego
{Co nowego?} is the way to ask “What’s new?” in Polish (we can also translate it like “How is
your business?”). You can say this phrase with friends. To make it formal – like, if you talk to
your boss – you should add [Pan] or [Pani] as we discussed before, so it looks like [Co nowego u
Pana/Pani?].
4. How are you doing?/What’s the news?
Co słychać?
Pronounced: Tso slichach
This is also frequently used to as “How are you doing” in Poland. We can translate this to
English as “What’s the news?” You can say it to everyone and everywhere. This phrase is also
used in formal occasions – on TV and radio – it’s a good way to start  speech.
If you want to make this phrase formal, add [u Pana] or [u Pani] and get [Co słychać u Pana] or
[Co słychać u Pani], if you talk to a group of people say {Co słychać u Państwa?}.
5. How do you feel?
Jak się czujesz? Jak zdrowie?
Pronounced: Yak shie chuyesz, Yak zdrovie
This phrase is informal, but people (friends) don’t use it often. {Jak zdrowie?} means {How is
your health}. If someone is ill or feels bad, you can say {Jak się czujesz?}
The formal way is [Jak się Pan czuje] or [Jak się Pani czuje] – in this way, doctor asks the patient
{How do you feel}. The typical answers are: [dobrze] – good, or [źle] – bad.
 6.
How’s it going in Polish
Jak leci?
Pronounced: Yak lechi
This is very short and easy to remember. Use it only with your friends as it’s informal.
 7.
What’s going on?
Co się dzieje?
Transliteration: Tso shie dzhieye
