Czy przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta?

Czy is a question particle. It signals that the whole sentence is a yes/no question.

So:

• Przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta. = The fitting room is still open.
• Czy przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta? = Is the fitting room still open?

Unlike English, Polish does not need to move the verb to the front to make this kind of question. Adding czy is one very common way to do it.

Przymierzalnia means fitting room, changing room, or try-on room in a shop.

It comes from the verb przymierzać / przymierzyć, meaning to try on clothes.

So if you are in a clothing store, przymierzalnia is the place where you go to try clothes on.

Because przymierzalnia is a feminine singular noun, and adjectives in Polish must agree with the noun in gender, number, and case.

So:

• otwarty = masculine singular
• otwarta = feminine singular
• otwarte = neuter singular or non-masculine-personal plural

Since przymierzalnia is feminine, we use otwarta.

A very common clue is the ending -a. Many Polish nouns ending in -a are feminine.

So:

• przymierzalnia → feminine
• therefore:
  • jest otwarta
  • not jest otwarty

This is a useful pattern, although there are some exceptions in Polish.

Jest means is. It is the 3rd person singular form of być = to be.

In this sentence:

• przymierzalnia = the fitting room
• jest = is
• otwarta = open

So literally: The fitting room is still open?

In the present tense, Polish often omits to be in some contexts, but with a predicate adjective like otwarta, jest is normally used here.
So Czy przymierzalnia jeszcze otwarta? would sound incomplete or nonstandard in normal speech.

Here jeszcze means still.

So:

• Czy przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta? = Is the fitting room still open?

It suggests that the speaker thinks it may close soon, or that it might already have closed.

Be careful: jeszcze can also mean yet, more, or another depending on context. In this sentence, still is the natural meaning.

Yes.

• Czy przymierzalnia jest otwarta? = Is the fitting room open?
• Czy przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta? = Is the fitting room still open?

Adding jeszcze adds the idea of time: the speaker is asking whether it remains open at this moment.

Not completely. Polish word order is more flexible than English word order.

The most neutral version is:

• Czy przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta?

But you may also hear:

• Czy jeszcze jest otwarta przymierzalnia?
• Przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta?
• Jeszcze jest otwarta przymierzalnia?

These alternatives can sound less neutral, more conversational, or more marked for emphasis. For a learner, the original sentence is the safest and most natural standard option.

Yes. In spoken Polish, intonation alone can make it a question:

• Przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta?

This is very common in everyday conversation.

Using czy can sound a bit clearer or slightly more careful. Both are correct.

It is in the nominative case because it is the subject of the sentence.

You can think of the structure as:

• przymierzalnia = subject
• jest = verb
• otwarta = predicate adjective

Since the fitting room is the thing being described, nominative is used.

Because Polish has no articles like English a or the.

So przymierzalnia can mean:

• a fitting room
• the fitting room

The exact meaning depends on context. In a shop, this sentence would usually be understood as Is the fitting room still open?

Yes, otwarta is completely natural here.

You may also sometimes hear czynna in contexts like businesses, desks, offices, or services being open and operating:

• Czy kasa jest jeszcze czynna? = Is the checkout still open?
• Czy sklep jest jeszcze czynny? = Is the shop still open?

For a fitting room, otwarta sounds very normal.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

pshy-mye-zal-nya

A few helpful points:

• przy- sounds roughly like pshy
• rz here sounds like the zh sound in measure
• ni before a gives a soft nya sound

So the whole word is approximately:

pshy-mye-zal-nya

Not perfect, but close enough to help an English speaker get started.

Yes, it sounds normal and polite enough.

If you want to make it a bit softer or more explicitly polite, you could say:

• Czy przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta, proszę pani / proszę pana?
• Przepraszam, czy przymierzalnia jest jeszcze otwarta?

Adding przepraszam = excuse me is especially common when speaking to staff.

Then both the noun and adjective would change:

• Czy przymierzalnie są jeszcze otwarte?
  = Are the fitting rooms still open?

Breakdown:

• przymierzalnia → przymierzalnie
• jest → są
• otwarta → otwarte

This is a good example of how Polish words change to match number as well as gender.
