💡
Cultural Note
'Uwielbiać' is the everyday Polish equivalent of 'to love/adore' for things and activities — it fills the gap that 'kochać' leaves. While 'kocham pizzę' sounds odd in Polish, 'uwielbiam pizzę' is perfect. In romantic contexts, 'uwielbiam cię' is lighter than 'kocham cię' but still deeply affectionate, expressing enthusiastic love.
