Breakdown of Przesyłka kosztuje czterdzieści złotych.
Questions & Answers about Przesyłka kosztuje czterdzieści złotych.
Przesyłka is a fairly general word for a shipment, delivery, or postal item. It can mean something being sent by post or courier.
It is similar to paczka, but not always identical:
- paczka = usually a package / parcel / box
- przesyłka = a broader term for any item sent, including a parcel, letter, registered item, etc.
So in this sentence, przesyłka sounds a bit more neutral or official than paczka.
In Polish, kosztować is a normal verb meaning to cost.
- przesyłka kosztuje... = the shipment costs...
You do not use a separate verb meaning is here. English also says The shipment costs..., not The shipment is costs...
Kosztuje is the 3rd person singular form, because przesyłka is singular.
