Questions & Answers about Tak, mam skierowanie na badanie krwi.

What does skierowanie mean in this sentence?

Skierowanie means a referral — usually a medical referral from a doctor, allowing or instructing you to have a test, see a specialist, or get a procedure done.

So mam skierowanie literally means I have a referral.

In medical contexts, this is a very common word in Polish.

Why is it mam skierowanie and not something like jestem skierowanie?

Because Polish uses mam (I have) to express possession, just like English.

• mam = I have
• skierowanie = a referral

So:

• Mam skierowanie = I have a referral

You would not use jestem here, because jestem means I am, and a referral is something you possess, not something you are.
