Also the letters u and i sometimes represent only semivowels when they follow another vowel, as in autor /ˈawtɔr/ ('author'), mostly in loanwords (so not in native nauka /naˈu.ka/ 'science, the act of learning', for example, nor in nativized Mateusz /maˈte.uʂ/ 'Matthew'). <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg/220px-Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="3488" data-file-height="2616"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 165px;" data-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg/220px-Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg" data-width="220" data-height="165" data-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg/330px-Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg/440px-Styl_urzedowy_-_Polish_sign.jpg 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>A formal-tone informative sign in Polish, with a composition of vowels and consonants and a mixture of long, medium and short <a href="/wiki/Syllables" class="mw-redirect" title="Syllables">syllables</a></figcaption></figure> Some <a href="/wiki/Loanword" title="Loanword">loanwords</a>, particularly from the <a href="/wiki/Classical_language" title="Classical language">classical languages</a>, have the stress on the antepenultimate (third-from-last) syllable. For example, fizyka (/ˈfizɨka/) ('physics') is stressed on the first syllable. This may lead to a rare phenomenon of minimal pairs differing only in stress placement, for example muzyka /ˈmuzɨka/ 'music' vs. muzyka /muˈzɨka/ – genitive singular of muzyk 'musician'. When additional syllables are added to such words through <a href="/wiki/Inflection" title="Inflection">inflection</a> or <a href="/wiki/Suffix" title="Suffix">suffixation</a>, the stress normally becomes regular. For example, uniwersytet (/uɲiˈvɛrsɨtɛt/, 'university') has irregular stress on the third (or antepenultimate) syllable, but the genitive uniwersytetu (/uɲivɛrsɨˈtɛtu/) and derived adjective uniwersytecki (/uɲivɛrsɨˈtɛt͡skʲi/) have regular stress on the penultimate syllables. Loanwords generally become nativized to have penultimate stress.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEGussmann20079-72">[71]</a> In psycholinguistic experiments, speakers of Polish have been demonstrated to be sensitive to the distinction between regular penultimate and exceptional antepenultimate stress.<a href="#cite_note-73">[72]</a> Another class of exceptions is verbs with the conditional endings -by, -bym, -byśmy, etc. These endings are not counted in determining the position of the stress; for example, zrobiłbym ('I would do') is stressed on the first syllable, and zrobilibyśmy ('we would do') on the second. According to <a href="/wiki/Linguistic_prescription" title="Linguistic prescription">prescriptive authorities</a>, the same applies to the first and second person plural past tense endings -śmy, -ście, although this rule is often ignored in <a href="/wiki/Colloquialism" title="Colloquialism">colloquial speech</a> (so zrobiliśmy 'we did' should be prescriptively stressed on the second syllable, although in <a href="/wiki/Usus" class="mw-redirect" title="Usus">practice</a> it is commonly stressed on the third as zrobiliśmy).<a href="#cite_note-74">[73]</a> These irregular stress patterns are explained by the fact that these endings are detachable <a href="/wiki/Clitic" title="Clitic">clitics</a> rather than true verbal inflections: for example, instead of kogo zobaczyliście? ('whom did you see?') it is possible to say kogoście zobaczyli? – here kogo retains its usual stress (first syllable) in spite of the attachment of the clitic. Reanalysis of the endings as inflections when attached to verbs causes the different colloquial stress patterns. These stress patterns are considered part of a "usable" norm of standard Polish - in contrast to the "model" ("high") norm.<a href="#cite_note-75">[74]</a> Some common word combinations are stressed as if they were a single word. This applies in particular to many combinations of preposition plus a personal pronoun, such as do niej ('to her'), na nas ('on us'), przeze mnie ('because of me'), all stressed on the bolded syllable. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(5)"><h2 id="Orthography">Orthography</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Polish_language&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Orthography" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-5 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-5"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main articles: <a href="/wiki/Polish_orthography" title="Polish orthography">Polish orthography</a> and <a href="/wiki/Polish_Braille" title="Polish Braille">Polish Braille</a></div><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/History_of_Polish_orthography" title="History of Polish orthography">History of Polish orthography</a></div> The <a href="/wiki/Polish_alphabet" title="Polish alphabet">Polish alphabet</a> derives from the <a href="/wiki/Latin_script" title="Latin script">Latin script</a> but includes certain additional letters formed using <a href="/wiki/Diacritic" title="Diacritic">diacritics</a>.

shown in the tables); this occurs at the end of words and in certain clusters, due to the neutralization mentioned in the <a href="#Phonology">Phonology</a> section above. Occasionally also voiceless consonant letters can represent voiced sounds in clusters. The spelling rule for the palatal sounds /<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_alveolo-palatal_fricative" title="Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative">ɕ</a>/, /<a href="/wiki/Voiced_alveolo-palatal_fricative" title="Voiced alveolo-palatal fricative">ʑ</a>/, /<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_alveolo-palatal_affricate" title="Voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate">tɕ</a>/, /<a href="/wiki/Voiced_alveolo-palatal_affricate" title="Voiced alveolo-palatal affricate">dʑ</a>/ and /<a href="/wiki/Voiced_alveolo-palatal_nasal" class="mw-redirect" title="Voiced alveolo-palatal nasal">ɲ</a>/ is as follows: before the vowel i the plain letters s, z, c, dz, n are used; before other vowels the combinations si, zi, ci, dzi, ni are used; when not followed by a vowel the diacritic forms ś, ź, ć, dź, ń are used. For example, the s in siwy ("grey-haired"), the si in siarka ("sulfur") and the ś in święty ("holy") all represent the sound /<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_alveolo-palatal_fricative" title="Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative">ɕ</a>/. The exceptions to the above rule are certain loanwords from Latin, Italian, French, Russian or English—where s before i is pronounced as s, e.g. sinus, sinologia, do re mi fa sol la si do, Saint-Simon i saint-simoniści, Sierioża, Siergiej, Singapur, singiel. In other loanwords the vowel i is changed to y, e.g. Syria, Sybir, synchronizacja, Syrakuzy. The following table shows the correspondence between the sounds and spelling: <a href="/wiki/Digraph_(orthography)" title="Digraph (orthography)">Digraphs</a> and <a href="/wiki/Trigraph_(orthography)" title="Trigraph (orthography)">trigraphs</a> are used: <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr> <th>Phonemic value </th> <th>Single letter/Digraph (in pausa or before a consonant) </th> <th>Digraph/Trigraph (before a vowel) </th> <th>Single letter/Digraph (before the vowel i) </th></tr> <tr> <td>/<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_alveolo-palatal_affricate" title="Voiceless alveolo-palatal affricate">tɕ</a>/ </td> <td>ć </td> <td>ci </td> <td>c </td></tr> <tr> <td>/<a href="/wiki/Voiced_alveolo-palatal_affricate" title="Voiced alveolo-palatal affricate">dʑ</a>/ </td> <td>dź </td> <td>dzi </td> <td>dz </td></tr> <tr> <td>/<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_alveolo-palatal_fricative" title="Voiceless alveolo-palatal fricative">ɕ</a>/ </td> <td>ś </td> <td>si </td> <td>s </td></tr> <tr> <td>/<a href="/wiki/Voiced_alveolo-palatal_fricative" title="Voiced alveolo-palatal fricative">ʑ</a>/ </td> <td>ź </td> <td>zi </td> <td>z </td></tr> <tr> <td>/<a href="/wiki/Voiced_alveolo-palatal_nasal" class="mw-redirect" title="Voiced alveolo-palatal nasal">ɲ</a>/ </td> <td>ń </td> <td>ni </td> <td>n </td></tr></tbody></table> Similar principles apply to /<a href="/wiki/Palatalization_(phonetics)" title="Palatalization (phonetics)">kʲ</a>/, /<a href="/wiki/Palatalization_(phonetics)" title="Palatalization (phonetics)">ɡʲ</a>/, /<a href="/wiki/Palatalization_(phonetics)" title="Palatalization (phonetics)">xʲ</a>/ and <a href="/wiki/Palatalization_(phonetics)" title="Palatalization (phonetics)">/lʲ/</a>, except that these can only occur before vowels, so the spellings are k, g, (c)h, l before i, and ki, gi, (c)hi, li otherwise. Most Polish speakers, however, do not consider palatalization of k, g, (c)h or l as creating new sounds. Except in the cases mentioned above, the letter i if followed by another vowel in the same word usually represents /<a href="/wiki/Voiced_palatal_approximant" title="Voiced palatal approximant">j</a>/, yet a palatalization of the previous consonant is always assumed. The reverse case, where the consonant remains unpalatalized but is followed by a palatalized consonant, is written by using j instead of i: for example, zjeść, "to eat up". The letters ą and ę, when followed by plosives and affricates, represent an oral vowel followed by a nasal consonant, rather than a nasal vowel. For example, ą in dąb ("oak") is pronounced <a href="/wiki/Help:IPA/Polish" title="Help:IPA/Polish">[ɔm]</a>, and ę in tęcza ("rainbow") is pronounced <a href="/wiki/Help:IPA/Polish" title="Help:IPA/Polish">[ɛn]</a> (the nasal assimilates to the following consonant). When followed by l or ł (for example przyjęli, przyjęły), ę is pronounced as just e. When ę is at the end of the word it is often pronounced as just <a href="/wiki/Help:IPA/Polish" title="Help:IPA/Polish">[ɛ]</a>. Depending on the word, the phoneme /<a href="/wiki/Voiceless_velar_fricative" title="Voiceless velar fricative">x</a>/ can be spelt h or ch, the phoneme /<a href="/wiki/Voiced_retroflex_fricative" title="Voiced retroflex fricative">ʐ</a>/ can be spelt ż or rz, and /<a href="/wiki/Close_back_rounded_vowel" title="Close back rounded vowel">u</a>/ can be spelt u or ó. In several cases it determines the meaning, for example: może ("maybe") and morze ("sea"). In occasional words, letters that normally form a digraph are pronounced separately. For example, rz represents /rz/, not /<a href="/wiki/Voiced_retroflex_fricative" title="Voiced retroflex fricative">ʐ</a>/, in words like zamarzać ("freeze") and in the name <a href="/wiki/Tarzan" title="Tarzan">Tarzan</a>. Doubled letters are usually pronounced as a single, <a href="/wiki/Gemination#Polish" title="Gemination">lengthened</a> consonant, however, some speakers might pronounce the combination as two separate sounds. There are certain clusters where a written consonant would not be pronounced. For example, the ł in the word jabłko ("apple") might be omitted in ordinary speech, leading to the pronunciation japko. </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(6)"><h2 id="Grammar">Grammar</h2> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Polish_language&action=edit&section=10" title="Edit section: Grammar" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> edit </a> </div><section class="mf-section-6 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-6"> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951"><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Polish_grammar" title="Polish grammar">Polish grammar</a></div> Polish is a highly <a href="/wiki/Fusional_language" title="Fusional language">fusional language</a> with relatively free <a href="/wiki/Word_order" title="Word order">word order</a>, although the dominant arrangement is <a href="/wiki/Subject%E2%80%93verb%E2%80%93object" class="mw-redirect" title="Subject–verb–object">subject–verb–object</a> (SVO). There are no <a href="/wiki/Article_(grammar)" title="Article (grammar)">articles</a>, and subject pronouns are often <a href="/wiki/Pro-drop_language" title="Pro-drop language">dropped</a>. <a href="/wiki/Noun" title="Noun">Nouns</a> belong to one of three <a href="/wiki/Grammatical_gender" title="Grammatical gender">genders</a>: masculine, feminine and neuter. The masculine gender is also divided into subgenders: animate vs inanimate in the singular, human vs nonhuman in the plural. There are seven <a href="/wiki/Case_(grammar)" class="mw-redirect" title="Case (grammar)">cases</a>: nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, instrumental, locative and vocative. <a href="/wiki/Adjective" title="Adjective">Adjectives</a> agree with nouns in terms of gender, case, and number. <a href="/wiki/Attributive_adjective" class="mw-redirect" title="Attributive adjective">Attributive adjectives</a> most commonly precede the noun, although in certain cases, especially in fixed phrases (like język polski, "Polish (language)"), the noun may come first; the rule of thumb is that generic descriptive adjectives normally precede (e.g. piękny kwiat, "beautiful flower") while categorizing adjectives often follow the noun (e.g. węgiel kamienny, "black coal"). Most short adjectives and their derived <a href="/wiki/Adverb" title="Adverb">adverbs</a> form <a href="/wiki/Comparative" title="Comparative">comparatives</a> and <a href="/wiki/Superlative" class="mw-redirect" title="Superlative">superlatives</a> by inflection (the superlative is formed by prefixing naj- to the comparative). <a href="/wiki/Verb" title="Verb">Verbs</a> are of imperfective or perfective <a href="/wiki/Aspect_(grammar)" class="mw-redirect" title="Aspect (grammar)">aspect</a>, often occurring in pairs. Imperfective verbs have a present tense, past tense, compound future tense (except for być "to be", which has a simple future będę etc., this in turn being used to form the compound future of other verbs), subjunctive/conditional (formed with the detachable particle by), imperatives, an infinitive, present participle, present gerund and past participle. Perfective verbs have a simple future tense (formed like the present tense of imperfective verbs), past tense, subjunctive/conditional, imperatives, infinitive, present gerund and past participle. Conjugated verb forms agree with their subject in terms of person, number, and (in the case of past tense and subjunctive/conditional forms) gender. <a href="/wiki/Passive_voice" title="Passive voice">Passive</a>-type constructions can be made using the auxiliary być or zostać ("become") with the passive participle. There is also an impersonal construction where the active verb is used (in third person singular) with no subject, but with the reflexive pronoun się present to indicate a general, unspecified subject (as in pije się wódkę "vodka is being drunk"—note that wódka appears in the accusative). A similar sentence type in the past tense uses the passive participle with the ending -o, as in widziano ludzi ("people were seen"). As in other Slavic languages, there are also subjectless sentences formed using such words as można ("it is possible") together with an infinitive. <a href="/wiki/Yes%E2%80%93no_question" title="Yes–no question">Yes–no questions</a> (both direct and indirect) are formed by placing the word czy ("whether") at the start, although it's often omitted in casual speech. Negation uses the word nie, before the verb or other item being negated; nie is still added before the verb even if the sentence also contains other negatives such as nigdy ("never") or nic ("nothing"), effectively creating a <a href="/wiki/Double_negative" title="Double negative">double negative</a>. <a href="/wiki/Cardinal_number_(linguistics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Cardinal number (linguistics)">Cardinal numbers</a> have a complex system of inflection and agreement. Zero and cardinal numbers higher than five (except for those ending with the digit 2, 3 or 4 but not ending with 12, 13 or 14) govern the <a href="/wiki/Genitive_case" title="Genitive case">genitive case</a> rather than the nominative or accusative. Special forms of numbers (<a href="/wiki/Collective_numeral" class="mw-redirect" title="Collective numeral">collective numerals</a>) are used with certain classes of noun, which include dziecko ("child") and <a href="/wiki/Plurale_tantum" title="Plurale tantum">exclusively plural</a> nouns such as drzwi ("door"). </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading"

words from other languages. When borrowing, pronunciation was adapted to Polish phonemes and spelling was altered to match <a href="/wiki/Polish_orthography" title="Polish orthography">Polish orthography</a>.

Currently, English words are the most common imports to Polish.<a href="#cite_note-Knara-2017-79">[78]</a> Loanwords make up 26.2% of the Polish vocabulary, with 36.3% originating from Latin, 19.7% from German, 15.9% from French, 7.1% from Czech, 3.8% from Greek, 3.5% from English, 3.1% from Italian, 1.9% from Ukrainian and Belarusian, 1.4% from Russian, and 1.5% from other languages; 5.9% are artificial borrowings (usually <a href="/wiki/Compound_words" class="mw-redirect" title="Compound words">compound words</a> of undetermined origin).<a href="#cite_note-80">[79]</a> The Latin language, for a very long time the only official language of the Polish state, has had a great influence on Polish. Many Polish words were direct borrowings or calques (e.g. <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/rzeczpospolita" class="extiw" title="wikt:rzeczpospolita">rzeczpospolita</a> from res publica) from Latin. <a href="/wiki/Latin" title="Latin">Latin</a> was known to a larger or smaller degree by most of the numerous <a href="/wiki/Szlachta" title="Szlachta">szlachta</a> in the 16th to 18th centuries (and it continued to be extensively taught at secondary schools until <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>). Apart from dozens of loanwords, its influence can also be seen in a number of verbatim Latin phrases in <a href="/wiki/Polish_literature" title="Polish literature">Polish literature</a> (especially from the 19th century and earlier). During the 12th and 13th centuries, Mongolian words were brought to the Polish language during wars with the armies of <a href="/wiki/Genghis_Khan" title="Genghis Khan">Genghis Khan</a> and his descendants, e.g. dzida (spear) and szereg (a line or row).<a href="#cite_note-Knara-2017-79">[78]</a> Words from <a href="/wiki/Czech_language" title="Czech language">Czech</a>, an important influence during the 10th and 14th–15th centuries include <a href="/wiki/Sejm" title="Sejm">sejm</a>, hańba and brama.<a href="#cite_note-Knara-2017-79">[78]</a> In 1518, the Polish king <a href="/wiki/Sigismund_I_of_Poland" class="mw-redirect" title="Sigismund I of Poland">Sigismund I the Old</a> married <a href="/wiki/Bona_Sforza" title="Bona Sforza">Bona Sforza</a>, the niece of the Holy Roman emperor Maximilian, who introduced Italian cuisine to Poland, especially vegetables.<a href="#cite_note-ciekawostkihistoryczne.pl-81">[80]</a> Hence, words from Italian include pomidor from "pomodoro" (<a href="/wiki/Tomato" title="Tomato">tomato</a>), kalafior from "cavolfiore" (<a href="/wiki/Cauliflower" title="Cauliflower">cauliflower</a>), and pomarańcza, a portmanteau from Italian "pomo" (<a href="/wiki/Pome" title="Pome">pome</a>) plus "arancio" (orange). A later word of Italian origin is autostrada (from Italian "autostrada", highway).<a href="#cite_note-ciekawostkihistoryczne.pl-81">[80]</a> In the 18th century, with the rising prominence of France in Europe, <a href="/wiki/French_language" title="French language">French</a> supplanted Latin as an important source of words. Some French borrowings also date from the Napoleonic era, when the Poles were enthusiastic supporters of <a href="/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon">Napoleon</a>.

German words found in the Polish language are often connected with trade, the building industry, civic rights and city life. Some words were assimilated verbatim, for example handel (trade) and dach (roof); others are pronounced similarly, but differ in writing Schnur—sznur (cord). As a result of being neighbors with Germany, Polish has many German expressions which have become literally translated (<a href="/wiki/Calques" class="mw-redirect" title="Calques">calques</a>).

The <a href="/wiki/Poland-Turkey_relations" class="mw-redirect" title="Poland-Turkey relations">contacts with Ottoman Turkey</a> in the 17th century brought many new words, some of them still in use, such as: jar ("yar" deep valley), szaszłyk ("şişlik" shish kebab), filiżanka ("fincan" cup), arbuz ("karpuz" <a href="/wiki/Watermelon" title="Watermelon">watermelon</a>), dywan ("divan" carpet),<a href="#cite_note-83">[82]</a> etc. From the founding of the Kingdom of Poland in 1025 through the early years of the <a href="/wiki/Polish%E2%80%93Lithuanian_Commonwealth" title="Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth">Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth</a> created in 1569, Poland was the most tolerant country of Jews in Europe. Known as the "<a href="/wiki/Heaven_for_the_nobles,_Purgatory_for_the_townspeople,_Hell_for_the_peasants,_and_Paradise_for_the_Jews" class="mw-redirect" title="Heaven for the nobles, Purgatory for the townspeople, Hell for the peasants, and Paradise for the Jews">paradise for the Jews</a>",<a href="#cite_note-84">[83]</a><a href="#cite_note-85">[84]</a> it became a shelter for persecuted and expelled European Jewish communities and the home to the world's largest Jewish community of the time.

When borrowing English words, Polish often changes their spelling. For example, Latin suffix '-tio' corresponds to -cja. To make the word plural, -cja becomes -cje. Examples of this include inauguracja (inauguration), dewastacja (devastation), recepcja (reception), konurbacja (conurbation) and konotacje (connotations).
