Questions & Answers about Witamy razem.
Why is there no word for 'we' in this sentence?
In Polish, the subject is often left out because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action. The -my ending on witamy means 'we'. You don't need to add my (we) unless you want to emphasize it.
The translation says 'We welcome you', but where is the word for 'you'?
The Polish sentence literally just says 'We welcome together'. General greetings like witamy often leave out the word for 'you' when it is obvious from the situation. You don't need to add cię or was here.
How is witamy different from saying cześć?
Cześć is an informal 'hello' or 'hi' used with friends. Witamy comes from the verb witać (to welcome) and is used specifically when you are acting as a host welcoming someone to a place, like your home, a group, or an event.
Can I use razem to mean 'together' in other everyday situations?
Yes, razem is a very common word used just like 'together' in English. For example, you can use it in phrases like Mieszkamy razem (We live together) or Jemy razem (We eat together).
