    What it means

    Literally “at your service.” A polite, slightly formal expression meaning “at your disposal” — used when offering help or introducing oneself in a service context.

    Vocabulary

    • do — to / for
    • usługi — services (plural of 'usługa')

    Grammar note

    'Usług' is the genitive plural of 'usługa' after 'do'.

    Cultural context

    Has a slightly old-fashioned, courtly flavour. Still used genuinely in formal service contexts and ironically in casual speech.
