All About Adjective Comparison in Polish

In Polish, there are 3 types of adjective comparison: simple, irregular, and descriptive*. Keep in mind that all adjectives keep their genderized endings ("-a" for feminine, "-y"/"-i" for masculine, "-e" for neuter, "-i" for plural masculine, "-e" for plural feminine), no matter if they're in their positive, comparative, or superlative form.

Funny enough, the simple comparison type is the most complicated one. Don't get scared with all the rules I'm about to show you here; I promise once you get through the 1st type, you'll be relieved to see how simple the remaining two are.

1st type: simple (stopniowanie proste)

comparative degree

You simply add suffixes "-szy"/"-ejszy" to the adjective stem, depending on the gender and number, of course. So for masculine adjectives, it's "-szy"/"-ejszy", for feminine -- "-sza"/"-ejsza", etc.

"-szy":

> for adjective stems ending with only one consonant (consonant before a gender letter)

e.g. weak - słaby (m.) => "b" is our consonant, "y" is our gender letter (tells us the adjective is masculine and singular)

masculine: słaby -> słabszy feminine: słaba -> słabsza neuter: słabe -> słabsze

Of course, Polish loves irregularities, so there are a few catches. Adjective stems ending with g, ł, n change: g->ż, ł->l, n->ń.

e.g. drogi (m.) - expensive drogi -> droższy miła (f.) - nice miła -> milsza tanie (n.) - cheap tanie -> tańsze

If g/ł/n ends the stem and it's proceeded by either "a" or "o", the vowel changes into an "e":

e.g. biały (m.) - white biały -> bielszy wesoła (f.) - cheerful wesoła -> weselsza

Schematically, "ą" will change into "ę" and "t" into "c":

e.g. gorące (n.) - hot gorące -> gorętsze

"-ejszy":

> if the stem ends with more than one consonant

e.g. serious - poważny (m.) => 2 consonants before the gender letter, so we know this adjective falls into the "-ejszy" category

fajny (m.) - cool fajny -> fajniejszy luźna (f.) - loose luźna -> luźniejsza zabawne (n.) - funny zabawne -> zabawniejsze

Thankfully, there's only one irregularity rule here. Just like g/ł/n in the other suffix, "-ejszy" has three magical letters as well. They are: s, r, n that change into: s->ś, r->rz, n->ni.

e.g. mądry (m.) - smart mądry - mądrzejszy ładna (f.) - pretty ładna -> ładniejsza jasne (n.) - bright jasne -> jaśniejsze

WATCH OUT! There are few adjectives that still apply to the first comparison group, even though their stems end in two consonants.

e.g. prosty -> prostszy twardy -> twardszy

superlative degree

Apart from adding the adequate suffix, your adjective also needs a "naj-" prefix. This one's pretty simple, there are no irregularities and it's a neutral prefix for every adjective.

e.g. długi (m.) - long długi -> dłuższy -> najdłuższy wysoka (f.) - tall wysoka -> wyższa -> najwyższa stare (n.) - old stare -> starsze -> najstarsze

2nd type: irregular (stopniowanie nieregularne)

Just like in English, there are some adjectives that have a weird comparative form. There's no other way than just to learn them by heart, but worry not -- there are only like 5 common adjectives like that.

duży -> większy -> największy mały -> mniejszy -> najmniejszy dobry -> lepszy -> najlepszy zły -> gorszy -> najgorszy lekki -> lżejszy -> najlżejszy

3rd type: descriptive (stopniowanie opisowe)

Some adjectives' comparative and superlative forms can be created not by changing the adjectives, but by putting an extra word in front of it. What's interesting in this type of adjective comparison is that you can use this type to create the comparative of every adjective. Sometimes, however, it won't sound natural.

e.g. szybki (m.) - fast it would sound natural if you said "szybki->szybszy" (1st type), but technically it is correct to use "szybki->bardziej szybki" (but it sounds weird). There are also adjectives that would sound weird in the 1st type. e.g. niebieski (m.) - blue "niebieski->bardziej niebieski"(3rd type) is natural and okay, but "niebieski->niebieściejszy" (1st type) is wrong.

comparative degree

Simply put "bardziej" (more) in front of the adjective and voilà!

e.g. chciwy (m.) - greedy chciwy -> bardziej chciwy wygodna (f.) - comfortable wygodna -> bardziej wygodna zniszczone (n.) - destroyed zniszczone -> bardziej zniszczone

superlative degree

Instead of "bardziej", place "najbardziej" (the most) before your adjective.

e.g. chciwy -> bardziej chciwy -> najbardziej chciwy wygodna -> bardziej wygodna -> najbardziej wygodna zniszczone -> bardziej zniszczone -> najbardziej zniszczone

Incomparable adjectives

There are some adjectives in Polish that don't have a comparative or superlative form. Those are all the adjectives that tell us about what something is made of and where it comes from. In colloquial Polish, however, every adjective can be compared in the 3rd form.

e.g. warszawski (m.) - from Warsaw warszawski -> bardziej warszawski -> najbardziej warszawski It's not grammatically correct because a thing or a person simply can't be more from Warsaw that something or someone else. If you hear someone say "bardziej warszawski", though, they probably mean that the thing they're talking about resembles/reminds them of Warsaw more than the other thing. drewniana (f.) - wooden Again -- in colloquial Polish "bardziej drewniana lalka" would mean "more wooden doll" and someone who said it probably meant that more wood was used to make the doll than it was used to make the other thing they're comparing the doll to.

Reverse comparison

It is possible in Polish to compare things that are less *adjective*. It very much resembles the 3rd type of comparison, except that instead of "bardziej" you use "mniej" (less), and "najbardziej" turns into "najmniej" (the least).

e.g. chciwy (m.) - greedy chciwy -> mniej chciwy -> najmniej chciwy wygodna (f.) - comfortable wygodna -> mniej wygodna -> najmniej wygodna zniszczone (n.) - destroyed zniszczone -> mniej zniszczone -> najmniej zniszczone

And I believe that would be all about adjective comparison in Polish. I realize it's a lot of information and some probably complicated things, so don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions or don't understand something. I'll be more than glad to help.

Have fun learning!

*I'm not sure if those are their correct English names. In Polish they're called: proste, nieregularne, opisowe (respectively), and I translated them literally.

Perfective 🆚 Imperfective Aspects in Polish

Most of Polish verbs (but not every one) have two grammatical aspects — perfective and imperfective. Online dictionaries usually use only the perfective version of a verb (unless it’s a really good dictionary), simply because they’re usually shorter and easier to remember or pronounce. Don’t worry, though, that you’ll have to learn two verbs at once — in most cases the perfective aspect can be made by adding a prefix to the imperfective one.

We use the perfective aspect for actions that are (or will be) completed, have been done once. The imperfective one - for uncompleted or habitual actions.

please notice: perfective verbs cannot be used in present tense.

Here are some examples of such verbs in both their aspects:

pomóc/pomagać - to help

rozczarować/rozczarowywać - to disappoint

stworzyć/stwarzać - to create

zmienić/zmieniać - to change

iść/chodzić - to go/to walk

otworzyć/otwierać - to open

napisać/pisać - to write

zrobić/robić - to do

Zrobić means to do something and finish the action. You’ve done something, completed it, you can now forget about it and go do another thing. It has no present tense, it only exists in the future and the past.

Zrobiłam pranie. - I did the laundry.

Zrobicie mi zdjęcie? - Will you take a photo of me?

Robić, however, implies a habitual or continuous action. It exists in all three tenses.

Robię pranie. - I’m doing the laundry. (right now) / I do the laundry. (habitually)

Robiliście mi zdjęcie? - Were you taking a photo of me?

Będą robić obiad? - Will they be making dinner?

How do you conjugate zrobić/robić?

zrobić:

past

ja zrobiłem/zrobiłam

ty zrobiłeś/zrobiłaś

on zrobił

ona zrobiła

ono zrobiło

my zrobiliśmy/zrobiłyśmy

wy zrobiliście/zrobiłyście

oni zrobili

one zrobiły

future

ja zrobię

ty zrobisz

on/ona/ono zrobi

my zrobimy

wy zrobicie

oni/one zrobią

robić:

present

ja robię

ty robisz

on/ona/ono robi

my robimy

wy robicie

oni/one robią

past

ja robiłem/robiłam

ty robiłeś/robiłaś

on robił

ona robiła

ono robiło

my robiliśmy/robiłyśmy

wy robiliście/robiłyście

oni robili

one robiły

future

ja będę robić

ty będziesz robić

on/ona/ono będzie robić

my będziemy robić

wy będziecie robić

oni/one będą robić

Aspects in the imperative:

Sometimes, when it comes to imperfective/perfective aspects, you have to be careful using the imperative mood. It’s considered very rude to use the imperative of an imperfective verb, especially when you’re addressing people older than you or someone you’re bound to respect (e.g. your boss). In this case, the imperfective aspect shows your impatience and irritation with the person you’re talking to.

In imperfective:

Otwieraj okno! - Open the window!

Pisz ten list! - Write the letter!

> makes you seem annoyed, impatient, a hastener

In perfective:

Otwórz okno! - Open the window!

Napisz ten list! - Write the letter!

> makes the demand more polite, even softer

When you want to tell someone not to do something, however, the imperfective form is the one you want to use.

Nie zamykaj okna. - Don’t close the window.

Nie pisz tego listu. - Don’t write that letter.
