Questions & Answers about Dyrektor widzi, że jesteś zajęty.
In English we say "sees that you are busy" without a comma. Do I always need a comma before że in Polish?
Yes! In Polish, you must always put a comma before the conjunction że (that) when it connects two parts of a sentence. It is a strict punctuation rule, unlike in English where commas before "that" are often left out.
Where is the word for "you" in the second half of the sentence?
In Polish, you do not need to use the pronoun ty (you) because the verb jesteś (you are) already tells us exactly who is doing the action. It is very common to drop pronouns like this unless you want to emphasize who you are talking about.
What if the director is talking to a female employee? Does zajęty change?
Does dyrektor mean a movie director, like in English?
It can, but in everyday Polish, dyrektor is most commonly used for the principal of a school, a company manager, or a CEO. A movie director is more specifically called a reżyser.
