Jestem za

Can I use this expression in everyday situations, when I want to say that I line up with my partner?
Because I found it in a dictionary, and it said: "Jestem za" - "I agree". Do you use it often in Poland or should I use an other expression?

Indeed, we often use it in Poland. Lech Wałęsa had even gone to the extremes with this expression telling people who wanted his support: Jestem za, a nawet przeciw! I hope you can figure out what he meant (many, me included, could not!).

"Jestem za" is used often, even colloquially:

- Idziemy na piwo?
- Jestem za!


There's certainly a philosophical depth to it that eludes logical explanation ;)

-idziemy na piwo??

-Ok

;)

Thank you all a lot for explaining! :-)


Hehhee :-)

sorry, even my mother is saying that ;)

LONG LIVE HUNGARY, from Poland with love ;*

Oh, thanks a lot!:-)) Wishing the same for Poland, that's why I study polonystyka:-)

"Polak, Węgier, dwa bratanki
i do szabli i do szklanki"

When I was in Budapest in 1980s, a number of Hungarian people were able to say it in Polish to me. Unfortunately, I was not able to reciprocate the verse in Hungarian.

Oh yes, the well-known saying :-) "Lengyel, magyar két jó barát, együtt harcol, együtt issza borát" I think :-)

Jestem za tobą, however, has a completely different meaning, namely "I am behind you".

Curious Leonis, is it correct Hungarian as a translation of "Jestem za toba",
perchance "Mogottod allok"??
Apologies for not having the Hungarian letters on my keyboard:-)
