How to use
The word 'cześć' has two completely different functions: as a feminine noun meaning 'honor / reverence / respect' (declines G. 'czci' -> note the irregular stem change: drops 'e' and 'ś' becomes 'c'), and as an extremely common informal interjection meaning 'hi! / hello! / bye!' (which is indeclinable). Do not confuse it with 'część' (part).
