człowiekowi

This is the 2697th most frequent Polish word.


człowiekowi

"To the man/person" (dative form of "człowiek").


Here, 'człowiekowi' is in the dative case, used as an indirect object whom assistance is being given to.

Pomagam człowiekowi i udzielam wskazówek.

I help the person and provide advice.


In this sentence, 'człowiekowi' is again dative, indicating the recipient of the information.

Powiedziałem człowiekowi o tym spotkaniu.

I told the person about this meeting.


In this example, 'człowiekowi' serves the purpose of specifying the individual being explained the rules to, again in the dative case.

Tłumaczę człowiekowi zasady gry.

I explain the rules of the game to the person.
