My Home in Polish: Rooms, Furniture, and jest/są

The locative just moved in with you. This lesson furnishes it: rooms, furniture, and the pattern for saying what stands where — the same one every Polish flat listing uses.

The Rooms

The Furniture

stół (table), krzesło (chair), łóżko (bed), szafa (wardrobe), lampa (lamp), telewizor (TV). All describable with the adjectives you own: duży stół, mała lampa, nowe łóżko.

What's Where: jest and są

One thing there: jest. Several: są. That's the whole rule — and with a locative in front, it builds every room description in the language.

Common Mistakes

• jest for plurals. Two windows need są: są dwa okna.
• Forgetting the locative. W kuchnia jest… — no. w kuchni.
• salon ≠ salon. It's the living room, not a hairdresser's (that's salon fryzjerski).

What You Can Do Now

You can describe your home room by room, read flat listings, and complain accurately about the size of the kitchen — a rite of passage in any language.
