and

and

The Polish word "and" does not exist; the English "and" translates to "i" or "oraz" in Polish.

The word 'a' in Polish, used here, functions similarly to 'and' in English to connect contrasting clauses.

Poszliśmy na spacer, a Piotr został w domu.

We went for a walk, and Piotr stayed at home.

In this sentence, 'i' is used as a conjunction to state elements in a list.

Ania kupiła jabłka i banany.

Ania bought apples and bananas.

Here, 'i' is part of a paired construction emphasizing both actions or items equally.

Muszę się nauczyć i biegania, i pływania.

I need to learn both running and swimming.
