New Years wishes in Polish?

Hello, I am looking for a nice greeting in Polish to wish someone a Happy and Peaceful New year. To suit both male and female. I dont want to just say..... szczęśliwego Nowego Roku, I want it a bit more personal than that but I do not know what is customary in Poland on these occasions.

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help.

try this one"
Fantastycznego Sylwestra!!, Udanej zabawy!! - Duzo zdrowia ,radosci , sukcesow, pomyslnosci oraz spełnienie wszystkich marzen w Nowym Roku życzy(ą) you fill in

Życzę szampańskiego Sylwestra oraz wszystkich radości a dużego szczęścia w Nowym Roku! = I wish you a bubbly New Year's Eve along with every happiness and success for the New Year!

Do siego roku! = Happy New Year! (See you next year!)

Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku a wszystkiego najlepszego! = Happy New Year with all the best of everything!

Happy New Year

Hmm, I never heard "wszystkich radości" before. But it sounds OK, fresh and different than those traditional cliched greetings. :)

Guess the Nowy Dziennik thinks so too.

Is it still published in NYC? I liked reading it when there.

Oh, sure, only not available everywhere:-)
Still looking to buy "Rzeczpospolita" in Manhattan, but unfortunately only available in Greenpoint(:-

Merged:

New Year's Wishes!

Why does it seem that no one uses the nice and simple expression "Do siego roku!" anymore?

Now the much longer and more awkward "Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku" seems to have taken over and I... don't like it.....

Anyhoo, Happy New Year to all here, Do siego roku!

Happy New Year!

May 2023 be a great year (especially for King Charles, for Ukraine and for all here!)

At last a thread for me....HAPPY NEW YEAR to all PFers! :)

To another year full of discussions and meetings of old friends! :)

Happy New Year, everyone :)

I guess, Lyżko meant - wiele radości i dużo szczęścia.

Exactly!!! Niesamowitych szczęśliwości i dużych radości w Nowym Jorku!

You forgot the important stuff like the coming Depression, Nuclear war, Covid mutants, Stock Market Crash, End of Natural births, Earth's orbit to change course, Solar tsunami, Global conflict for WW3, Global warming will have caused sea levels to rise and flood half the world, pocketless spandex pants get outlawed for young women, and possibly the world ends.

Besides those possibilities, Happy New Years everyone ! :-)

I've never used it in my entire life and I'm not sure if I've ever heard it being used in real life... This word "siego" comes from Old Polish and noone uses it anymore.


To be honest, "Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku!" makes more sense, because "Do siego roku!" was originally a Christmas greeting and can be translated more or less as "Till next year!", so it doesn't make much sense for me to say it once the New Year arrived already:

Happy New Year, btw. 🥳🥂

I don't think I've heard it either (except for someone explaining it) I remember seeing it a lot in the early 1990s... (often incorrectly in store windows as "dosiego roku")


But it's long and awkward 9 syllables vs just 5...

It's also weird that theres no simple way to refer unambiguously to Christmas in Polish... Hungarians have Karácsony, Romanians have Crăciun, Czechs have Vánoce and Poles have.... Święta Bożego Narodzenia.... I sometimes wonder if novi is right that Polish people like making things unnecessarily difficult....

So? :) Good grief, it's just three words... lol I realise that "Do siego roku" is easier for foreigners to pronounce, but the natives couldn't care less, I think...


There is - Boże Narodzenie:

pl.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo%C5%BCe_Narodzenie


Well, people usually just say and often write "Wesołych Świąt!", so... *shrugs*

I like the sound of it and have seen it somewhere, however I don't recall ever hearing it.

I've heard it and read it. Maybe it was a bit more common in Silesia?

In live communication we don`t. But I see it in thousands ads, posters and cards.

May 2025 be a year that our Polish Forums Therapy Club ring out the old and move on from the same old Depressing Negative Rinse & Repeats that have been driven into the ground here in 2024 and ring in the New Year with Positive Refreshing Cheerful Posts with health, peace and happiness. :-)

Happy new year to all! :)

I just hope that we all meet next year here again! (And that there is a "here" to meet, heh:)

Happy new year all !

Szczęśliwego Nowego Roku!

Ukiortaami pilluarit!

З новим роком!

Chúc Mừng Năm Mới!

Is-Sena T-Tajba!

Boldog Új Évet!

An Nou Fericit!

Belated Happy New Year! :) 🎇

The pure act of self-importance, selfish idiocy, says a megalomaniac from Kieleckie Wilderness. The most "important" nobody has ever used or heard of the beautiful, old Polish word (do siego); therefore, the word does not exist.What an obtuse way of reasoning, what an insolence. It isn't gratifying to admit, but once in a while, Pawian is on the side of angels. I had no idea some had the power to impound the ancient Polish language.If that was the case
Trylogia should be buried, not to mention Chlopi.

@Przelotnyptak1, I didn't claim in any of my comments that I've never heard of "do siego" or that this word doesn't exist, you obtuse liar. I just stated that noone uses it in real life in Poland when wishing people Happy New Year (in spoken language). Of course, in theory there is some possibility that there is someone somewhere in Poland who does that, but considering that I've lived my whole life in Poland and I've never heard anyone using it then I think I can safely say that it isn't widely used anymore (in spoken language). 🙄


No, but you should burry yourself under some warm blanky with a hot chocolate and watch some feel-good movie with your wife instead of attacking people on New Year's Day, you petty little gnome. 🤨

The closest I heard from a kid to whom Polish is a second language was:

"Dziadek gada do swojego"

Actually, as an Old Soul, I am. Thanks for your recognition. :):):)


Trylogia is nice as patriotic reading to provide relief for tormented souls but doesn`t reflect the Polish language of 21st century coz it was written in 19th century. You have no contact with the current language except your short visits to Poland once in 10 years.
So, don`t grumble that Do siego roku isn`t used in everyday communication except ads and commercials.

The language has transformed, you can`t blame it cos it lives on its own.
I hope you won`t whip it for that impudence. :Like certain Roman emperor whipped the sea for bringing storm to his navy. ):):):)
