Prowadzący czyta pytanie.

Prowadzący means something like the presenter, the host, the person leading something, or sometimes the teacher/instructor, depending on context.

It comes from the verb prowadzić = to lead, to conduct, to run.

So literally, prowadzący is roughly the one who is leading/conducting.

In different situations, it could refer to:

• a TV or radio host
• a meeting leader
• a course instructor
• a person conducting an event

So the exact English translation depends on the situation.

That is very common in Polish.

Prowadzący is originally an adjective/participle form, but it is often used as a noun to mean the person who leads/conducts.

This is similar to English expressions like:

• the injured
• the accused
• the elderly

In Polish, forms like this are very productive. So prowadzący can function as:

• an adjective: prowadzący program = the presenter hosting the program
• a noun: Prowadzący czyta pytanie = The presenter is reading the question

Yes, in this sentence it is masculine singular.

That means the sentence is referring to a male presenter/leader, or to a person described with the masculine form by default.

The feminine form would be prowadząca:

• Prowadząca czyta pytanie. = The female presenter is reading the question.

There is also a plural form:

• Prowadzący czytają pytanie. = The presenters are reading the question.
  or male/mixed group
• Prowadzące czytają pytanie. = The female presenters are reading the question.

Because Polish normally uses the simple present tense where English often uses either reads or is reading.

So:

• czyta can mean reads
• or is reading

Polish does not usually form the present continuous the way English does.

So Prowadzący czyta pytanie can mean:

• The presenter reads the question
• The presenter is reading the question

Context tells you which is more natural.

Czyta is:

• 3rd person singular
• present tense
• from the verb czytać = to read

So it agrees with a singular subject:

• on/ona/ono czyta = he/she/it reads / is reading

Here the subject is prowadzący, so the verb is singular:

• Prowadzący czyta...

Because pytanie is a neuter singular noun, and here it is the direct object: the question.

The verb czytać takes the accusative case, and for many neuter singular nouns, the accusative looks the same as the nominative.

So:

• nominative: pytanie = a question / the question
• accusative: pytanie = a question / the question

That is why the form does not change.

Compare:

• To jest pytanie. = This is a question.
• Czytam pytanie. = I am reading the question.

Same form, different grammatical role.

It is in the accusative singular, because it is the direct object of czyta.

The basic pattern is:

• kto? co? → nominative for the subject
• kogo? co? → accusative for the direct object

In this sentence:

• Prowadzący = subject
• pytanie = object

So:

• Prowadzący czyta pytanie.
• The presenter reads the question.

Because Polish has no articles.

There is no separate word for a/an/the in normal Polish grammar.

So pytanie can mean:

• a question
• the question

And prowadzący can mean:

• a presenter
• the presenter

Context tells you which one is intended.

In this sentence, English would usually translate it as The presenter is reading the question or The presenter reads the question, but Polish does not need a word for the.

Yes. Polish word order is more flexible than English word order.

The neutral order here is:

• Prowadzący czyta pytanie.

But other orders are possible, for example:

• Pytanie czyta prowadzący.
• Czyta pytanie prowadzący.

These alternatives usually change the focus or emphasis, not the basic meaning.

The version with subject + verb + object is the most straightforward and natural for learners.

A rough pronunciation guide is:

pro-va-DZON-tsih

A bit more carefully:

• pro like pro
• wa like va
• dzą has a nasal vowel; roughly dzon
• cy sounds like tsih

Important points:

• w in Polish sounds like English v
• cz sounds like English ch
• c sounds like ts
• ą is a nasal vowel, often approximated by English speakers as on/om depending on context

And czyta is roughly:

• CHIH-ta

Pytanie is roughly:

• pih-TAH-nye

This is a question about aspect, which is very important in Polish.

• czytać = to read (imperfective)
• przeczytać = to read through / to finish reading (perfective)

So:

• Prowadzący czyta pytanie. = The presenter is reading the question / reads the question.
• Prowadzący przeczyta pytanie. = The presenter will read the question / will finish reading the question.

A perfective verb like przeczyta cannot normally mean an ongoing present action. It refers to a completed future event.

So if you want is reading, czyta is the right choice.

Yes, sometimes.

In educational contexts, prowadzący can mean:

• the instructor
• the person teaching the class
• the seminar leader

For example, at a university, students may say:

• Prowadzący odwołał zajęcia.
• The instructor cancelled the class.

So although the literal idea is the person leading/conducting, in real life it can often be translated as teacher, instructor, presenter, or host, depending on context.

Yes, it is perfectly natural.

It is a simple, standard sentence with:

• a subject: Prowadzący
• a verb: czyta
• a direct object: pytanie

It sounds like something you might hear in:

• a classroom
• a quiz show
• an exam setting
• a meeting
• an event led by a host or moderator

So it is a very normal example of everyday Polish structure.
