  Literally “good day.” A standard Polish daytime greeting — formal and polite, used when meeting someone during the day.

  Vocabulary

  Grammar note

  A fixed greeting phrase. 'Dobry' is in the nominative masculine agreeing with 'dzień'. The fuller form 'dzień dobry' (with reversed word order) is more common and standard.
