Jeden egzemplarz jest tutaj.

Egzemplarz usually means copy, specimen, or individual item/unit.

In this sentence, Jeden egzemplarz jest tutaj, it most naturally means One copy is here or One экземпляр/item is here, depending on context.

Common uses:

• egzemplarz książki = a copy of a book
• ostatni egzemplarz = the last copy
• wadliwy egzemplarz = a defective unit/item

It is a more formal or specific word than something like rzecz (thing).

Because egzemplarz is a masculine noun, and jeden must agree with it in gender.

Polish one changes form depending on the gender of the noun:

• jeden for masculine
• jedna for feminine
• jedno for neuter

So:

• jeden egzemplarz = one copy/item
• jedna książka = one book
• jedno okno = one window

This is normal adjective-like agreement in Polish.

It is in the nominative case.

That is because egzemplarz is the subject of the sentence:

• Jeden egzemplarz = the thing being talked about
• jest tutaj = is here

So the structure is basically:

• [subject in nominative] + [verb] + [place]

Since nothing is happening to the item, and it is simply being identified as being in a place, nominative is the expected case.

In standard Polish, when you say that something is somewhere, you normally use jest.

So:

• Jeden egzemplarz jest tutaj = One copy is here

Polish sometimes omits forms of to be, but not usually in ordinary present-tense location sentences like this one.

For example:

• To jest książka = This is a book
• Książka jest tutaj = The book is here

In casual speech, people may shorten or rearrange things, but for a learner, jest is the correct and safe choice here.

Yes. Tu and tutaj both mean here.

So both are correct:

• Jeden egzemplarz jest tutaj
• Jeden egzemplarz jest tu

The difference is mostly style and rhythm:

• tu is shorter and often a bit more conversational
• tutaj can sound slightly fuller or more emphatic

In many situations, they are interchangeable.

No, Polish word order is fairly flexible, although some orders sound more natural in certain contexts.

The neutral version here is:

• Jeden egzemplarz jest tutaj.

But you could also hear:

• Tutaj jest jeden egzemplarz.
• Jeden egzemplarz tutaj jest. — possible, but less neutral
• Jest tutaj jeden egzemplarz.

Different word orders can shift emphasis:

• Tutaj jest jeden egzemplarz emphasizes here
• Jeden egzemplarz jest tutaj starts with one copy
• Jest tutaj jeden egzemplarz can sound like introducing the existence of one item here

So the meaning stays similar, but the focus changes.

A helpful approximate pronunciation is:

eg-zem-plash

More carefully:

• eg as in egg without fully stressing it
• zem like zem
• plarz ends with a sound close to plash / plaʂ

A few useful points:

• rz here is pronounced like the Polish ż sound, similar to the s in measure
• stress in Polish usually falls on the second-to-last syllable
• so egzemplarz is stressed roughly like: eg-ZEM-plarz

And the whole sentence:

• JED-en eg-ZEM-plarz yest TOO-tai

That is only an approximation, but it can help.

Yes, you could say Egzemplarz jest tutaj, but it means something slightly different.

Compare:

• Jeden egzemplarz jest tutaj = One copy is here
• Egzemplarz jest tutaj = The copy is here or A copy is here, depending on context

So jeden explicitly gives the idea of one as a number. Without it, the sentence is less specifically numerical.

In real speech, Polish often leaves out words like a/an, because Polish has no articles. That means context decides whether something sounds like a copy or the copy.

It can do both, depending on context.

Most directly:

• jeden egzemplarz = one copy

But in some situations, jeden can also mean something like:

• a certain
• one particular

For example:

• Jeden człowiek mi to powiedział. = One person / A certain person told me that.

In your sentence, though, the most natural reading is simply the number one.

It is grammatically correct and fairly neutral, but egzemplarz makes it sound a bit more specific or formal than everyday speech.

For example:

• Jedna książka jest tutaj = One book is here
• Jeden egzemplarz jest tutaj = One copy/specimen/unit is here

You would especially expect egzemplarz in contexts like:

• books
• documents
• printed materials
• products/items in stock
• official or technical descriptions

So the sentence sounds natural if you are talking about a specific copy or unit, not just a random everyday object.
