Czy masz przy sobie prawo jazdy, czy zostało w domu na biurku?

At the beginning of a sentence, czy is a yes/no question marker. It does not translate neatly into one specific English word, but it signals that the whole sentence is a question.

So:

• Czy masz przy sobie prawo jazdy? = Do you have your driver’s license with you?

In everyday speech, Polish often drops this first czy and simply relies on intonation:

• Masz przy sobie prawo jazdy?

That is also completely natural.

Not quite. The second czy means or / whether in the sense of presenting an alternative.

So in this sentence:

• Czy masz przy sobie prawo jazdy, czy zostało w domu na biurku?

the structure is:

• Do you have your driver’s license with you, or did it stay at home on the desk?

This is a very common Polish pattern:

• Czy X, czy Y? = Is it X, or is it Y?

So the two czy words have different jobs here:

• the first one marks a question
• the second one introduces the alternative

Przy sobie means on you, with you, in your possession at the moment.

So:

• Masz przy sobie prawo jazdy = Do you have your driver’s license with you?

This phrase is very common when asking whether someone is carrying something:

• Masz przy sobie dokumenty? = Do you have your documents with you?
• Nie mam przy sobie gotówki. = I don’t have cash on me.

It is slightly different from just saying you own something in general. It means you have it physically with you right now.

Sometimes, but not in exactly the same way.

• przy sobie = on your person / with you right now
• ze sobą = with you / along with you

In this sentence, przy sobie is the most natural choice because the question is about whether you are carrying the license.

Compare:

• Masz przy sobie dowód? = Do you have your ID on you?
• Wziąłeś dowód ze sobą? = Did you take your ID with you?

Both can be similar in meaning in some contexts, but przy sobie strongly emphasizes possession at this moment.

Prawo jazdy is a fixed Polish expression meaning driver’s license / driving licence.

Literally, the parts are:

• prawo = right
• jazdy = of driving

So historically it is something like the right to drive, but in normal use it simply means driver’s license.

Even though it is made of two words, it behaves grammatically as one noun phrase.

For example:

• Mam prawo jazdy. = I have a driver’s license.
• Nie mam prawa jazdy. = I don’t have a driver’s license.

Zostało is the past tense of zostać, which often means to remain, to stay, or in context to be left behind.

Here:

• czy zostało w domu na biurku?

means something like:

• or was it left at home on the desk?
• literally: or did it remain at home on the desk?

This is a very natural Polish way to say that something was accidentally left somewhere.

For example:

• Telefon został w samochodzie. = The phone was left in the car.
• Klucze zostały w domu. = The keys were left at home.

Because prawo jazdy is grammatically neuter singular, and the past tense has to agree with it.

Past tense forms in Polish agree with gender:

• został = masculine singular
• została = feminine singular
• zostało = neuter singular
• zostali / zostały = plural

The head noun here is prawo, which is neuter, so the verb must be zostało.

That is true even though English translates the whole phrase as driver’s license.

Because Polish often omits subject pronouns when they are understood from context.

In English, you normally need it:

• Did you bring your driver’s license, or was it left at home?

In Polish, once prawo jazdy has already been mentioned, you can simply say:

• czy zostało w domu na biurku?

The subject is understood. If you added a pronoun, it would usually sound unnecessary unless you wanted special emphasis.

These prepositions reflect how Polish imagines location:

• w domu = in the house / at home
• na biurku = on the desk

So:

• w
  • locative case for being inside something
• na
  • locative case for being on a surface or at certain locations

That is why the forms are:

• dom → w domu
• biurko → na biurku

Both nouns are in the locative case because they follow prepositions expressing location.

Because w domu expresses location, while do domu expresses movement toward a place.

• w domu = at home / in the house
• do domu = to home / to the house

Here the license is not moving anywhere; it is located somewhere:

• zostało w domu = it was left at home

If you said do domu, it would suggest motion, which does not fit this sentence.

Yes, this word order is natural and idiomatic.

The sentence is arranged in a very normal conversational way:

• Czy masz przy sobie prawo jazdy, czy zostało w domu na biurku?

Polish word order is more flexible than English, so you may see variations, for example:

• Masz przy sobie prawo jazdy czy zostało w domu na biurku?
• Czy prawo jazdy masz przy sobie, czy zostało w domu na biurku?

But the original version is the most neutral and natural.

Because the second czy introduces another clause, giving an alternative:

• Czy masz przy sobie prawo jazdy, czy zostało w domu na biurku?

This is similar to English punctuation in a sentence like:

• Do you have your driver’s license with you, or was it left at home on the desk?

The comma helps separate the two parts of the sentence clearly.

It is perfectly normal everyday Polish.

It sounds like something someone might ask in real life, for example:

• a police officer
• a driving instructor
• a friend before leaving
• someone checking whether you brought your documents

It is neither especially formal nor especially slangy. It is standard, natural Polish.
