Plural possessives (nasz, wasz)

Our and Your (Plural)

To talk about things belonging to "us" or "you all" (plural), we use the possessive pronouns nasz (our) and wasz (your). Just like mój (my) and twój (your), these pronouns must match the gender of the noun they describe.

For masculine nouns like bagaż (luggage), plecak (backpack), or paszport (passport), use the base forms nasz and wasz.

This is our luggage, and this is your backpack.
To jest nasz bagaż, a to jest wasz plecak.
Here is your passport and backpack.
Tu jest wasz paszport i plecak.
Is this ticket ours?
Czy ten bilet jest nasz?

Feminine Forms

When describing a feminine noun—typically one ending in -a like walizka (suitcase) or torba (bag)—add an -a to the end of the possessive pronoun to make it feminine:

Our suitcase is very heavy.
Nasza walizka jest bardzo ciężka.
Where is your new bag?
Gdzie jest wasza nowa torba?
Your suitcase is very small.
Wasza walizka jest bardzo mała.

Traveling and Trains

When talking about travel, you will often use the verb jechać (to travel / to go by vehicle). While other verbs are used for walking, jechać is the correct verb for vehicles like a pociąg (train) in motion.

Our train is going there.
Nasz pociąg tam jedzie.
Is your train going today?
Czy wasz pociąg jedzie dzisiaj?
Is this train going fast?
Czy ten pociąg jedzie szybko?
