How to use
The verb 'znać' (to know someone/something / be familiar with) is imperfective; its perfective pair is 'poznać' (to get to know / meet). Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a noun, but it is a verb. It requires a direct object in the accusative case (e.g., 'znać odpowiedź' — to know the answer). Reflexive form 'znać się' means to know each other or be an expert in something ('znać się na czymś' — requires 'na' + locative).
