zapraszam na kolację
I invite you to dinner, let me treat you to dinner
Pronunciation
/zaˈpraʂam na kɔˈlat͡sjɛ/
Cultural Note
In Polish, 'zapraszam' (I invite) carries an implicit offer to pay. When a Pole says 'zapraszam na kolację,' they are expected to cover the bill. This is why Poles are careful with the word — saying 'chodźmy na kolację' (let's go to dinner) is neutral about payment, while 'zapraszam' means 'my treat.'
