Wyciąg bankowy pokazuje transakcje.

Wyciąg bankowy means bank statement.

• wyciąg = extract, statement, printout
• bankowy = banking / bank-related

Together, they form a natural Polish phrase for a statement from a bank.

Because bankowy is an adjective meaning bank-related.

In Polish, a noun is often described with an adjective:

• wyciąg bankowy = bank statement
• literally: bank-related statement

You could sometimes express similar ideas with a noun in the genitive, but in this case wyciąg bankowy is the standard phrase.

The ending -y shows that bankowy agrees with wyciąg.

Wyciąg is:

• masculine
• singular
• here in the nominative case because it is the subject

So the adjective must match it:

• wyciąg bankowy

This agreement is a very important feature of Polish adjectives.

Pokazuje is the 3rd person singular form of the verb pokazywać = to show.

It matches the subject wyciąg bankowy, which is a singular thing:

• Wyciąg bankowy pokazuje... = The bank statement shows...

Other forms would be:

• ja pokazuję = I show
• ty pokazujesz = you show
• on/ona/ono pokazuje = he/she/it shows

Here, English uses it shows, but Polish usually just uses the verb form without a separate word for it.

Because Polish usually drops subject pronouns when they are not needed.

The verb ending already tells you the person and number:

• pokazuje = he/she/it shows

Since the subject wyciąg bankowy is already stated, adding a pronoun would be unnecessary.

Because transakcje is the accusative plural form of transakcja.

Base form:

• transakcja = transaction

Plural:

• transakcje = transactions

In this sentence, transakcje is the direct object of pokazuje, so we need the accusative plural. For this noun, the accusative plural looks the same as the nominative plural.

So:

• transakcje can mean transactions as a subject or as an object, depending on the sentence

In this sentence:

• Wyciąg bankowy = subject
• pokazuje = verb
• transakcje = object

So the structure is:

• The bank statement
  • shows
    • transactions

Polish often allows more flexible word order than English, but case endings and verb meaning help you identify the roles.

Yes, to some extent.

The neutral, standard order is:

• Wyciąg bankowy pokazuje transakcje.

But Polish allows other orders for emphasis, for example:

• Transakcje pokazuje wyciąg bankowy.

That might sound more marked or contrastive, like emphasizing transactions or clarifying what shows them.

For learners, the basic subject–verb–object order is the safest choice.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

VY-chyongk ban-KO-vy po-KA-zu-ye tran-ZAK-tsye

A few useful details:

• wy- often sounds roughly like vɨ; English has no exact match
• ciąg contains a nasal vowel sound
• w in Polish sounds like English v
• j in Polish sounds like English y
• cz sounds like ch in chocolate
• je at the end of pokazuje sounds like ye

If you want to sound natural, the stress is usually on the second-to-last syllable:

• wyCIĄG
• banKOwy
• pokaZUje
• transAKcje

It can often correspond to either shows or is showing, depending on context.

Polish present tense does not work exactly like English present simple vs. present continuous. So:

• pokazuje may mean shows
• or is showing

In a sentence like this, the most natural English translation is usually shows.

Pokazywać is imperfective.

That matters because Polish verbs often come in aspect pairs:

• pokazywać = imperfective, ongoing/repeated/general showing
• pokazać = perfective, to show once/to complete the showing

In the present tense, imperfective verbs can describe regular or current actions:

• Wyciąg bankowy pokazuje transakcje. = The bank statement shows transactions.

A perfective verb normally does not have a true present meaning in the same way; its present-tense forms usually refer to the future.

Because Polish has no articles.

So:

• wyciąg bankowy could mean a bank statement or the bank statement
• transakcje could mean transactions or the transactions

Context tells you which meaning is intended. This is very normal in Polish.
