Cultural Note
'Jechać' is one of Polish's essential motion verbs — specifically for travel by vehicle. Unlike 'iść' (to go on foot), 'jechać' implies using transport. 'Jedźmy!' (let's go!) is an exciting invitation to hit the road. Road trips ('podróże samochodem') are popular among Polish couples.
