    What it means

    Means “in a neighborly way” or “like neighbors do” — informally, casually, without ceremony. Used when someone does something in an easy, friendly, informal manner, as you would with a next-door neighbor.

    Vocabulary

    • sąsiad — neighbor
    • sąsiedzki — neighborly

    Grammar note

    The prefix 'po-' + dative adjectival form creates an adverbial phrase meaning 'in the manner of'. A common pattern: po przyjacielsku (in a friendly way), po ludzku (in a human way).
