Pronunciation
/zaˈkupɨ/
💡
Cultural Note
Sunday shopping is restricted in Poland by the 'zakaz handlu' (trading ban) law. Most stores are closed on Sundays, so Poles plan their 'zakupy' for weekdays or Saturdays. Going grocery shopping together ('robić zakupy') is a mundane but meaningful couples activity.
