kochać
to love
Pronunciation
/ˈkɔxat͡ɕ/
Cultural Note
In Polish, 'kochać' is reserved for deep, serious love. Poles are careful about using it — saying 'kocham cię' carries tremendous weight. Unlike English, where 'love' is used casually ('I love pizza'), Polish distinguishes between 'kochać' (romantic/deep love) and 'lubić' (to like). Using 'kochać' too early in a relationship can feel premature.
