Questions & Answers about Warto próbować, mimo problemów.

What exactly does warto mean, and how do I use it?

Warto is an impersonal predicative meaning “it’s worth (doing).” It doesn’t inflect for person, gender, or number. The most common pattern is: warto + infinitive (e.g., Warto iść = “It’s worth going”). You can also say who it’s worth it for with a clause: Warto, żebyśmy spróbowali (“It’s worth it for us to try”).

Why is there no subject “it”? Should I add to or jest?

Polish doesn’t need a dummy subject. Warto próbować already means “It’s worth trying.” Don’t say Jest warto próbować—that’s non‑standard. If you want a sentence with a clear subject, use the adjective warty/warte with a noun: To jest warte wysiłku (“This is worth the effort”).

Is Warto jest… ever acceptable?

You may hear warto jest colloquially, but many style guides discourage it. In neutral written Polish, use plain warto without jest.

Why is próbować in the infinitive?

Because warto normally takes an infinitive. English uses a gerund (“worth trying”); Polish uses the infinitive: warto + [infinitive].

Should I use or here?
