Pronunciation
/lus/
💡
Cultural Note
'Luz' literally means 'looseness/slack' (as in a loose bolt), but in slang it means being relaxed, chill, or easy-going. 'Na luzie' (at ease) describes a relaxed state. 'Luz!' as an interjection means 'relax!' or 'no worries!' The adjective 'luzacki' means laid-back. It's one of those slang words that crossed over into mainstream usage decades ago — even formal-ish people might say 'na luzie.' Essential vocabulary for sounding like a real Polish speaker rather than a textbook one.
