  What it means

  Literally “permanently,” this is the standard way to say “for good” or “on a permanent basis.” It is used when moving to a new city, starting a full-time job, or making a lasting change in your life. If you move to Poland “na stałe,” you don’t plan on leaving!

  Vocabulary

  • stały — permanent / constant / regular
  • tymczasowo — temporarily (antonym)
  • przeprowadzka — move / relocation

  Grammar note

  'Na stałe' uses the accusative neuter singular of the adjective 'stały', which functions here as a substantive.

  Cultural context

  Commonly found in administrative contexts, such as "zameldowanie na stałe" (permanent residence registration).
