How to use
The word 'wolno' has two major grammatical roles: as the adverb meaning 'slowly' (comparative 'wolniej', superlative 'najwolniej', antonym of 'szybko'), and as an impersonal predicative word (quasi-copula) meaning 'it is allowed / permitted / one may' (e.g., 'wolno palić' — smoking is allowed; governs dative case for the person: 'wolno mi' — I am allowed). Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a verb, which is partially true for the predicative use, but it also acts as a basic adverb.
