Questions & Answers about Latem noszę sandały i kapelusz, a moja siostra woli lekką spódnicę.

What does Latem mean, and why is it not w lato?

Latem means in summer.

In Polish, seasons are often expressed with special forms used adverbially:

• latem = in summer
• zimą = in winter
• wiosną = in spring
• jesienią = in autumn

So Latem noszę sandały... is a very natural way to say In summer I wear sandals...

w lato is not standard here. You may sometimes see w lecie, but latem is the most common and natural choice in everyday Polish.

Why is there no ja before noszę?

Because Polish verb endings usually show who the subject is.

• noszę = I wear / I carry
• the ending -ę already tells you it is I

So Ja noszę sandały is possible, but the ja is usually omitted unless you want extra emphasis, for example:

• Ja noszę sandały, a on buty. = I wear sandals, and he wears shoes.

In the original sentence, noszę alone is enough.

What does noszę mean here? Is it I wear or I carry?
