How to use

The verb 'uczyć' (to teach / study) is imperfective; its perfective partner is 'nauczyć'. In the active form 'uczyć kogoś', it means to teach someone, and requires the accusative case for the student and the genitive case for the subject (e.g., 'uczyć dzieci fizyki' — to teach children physics). The reflexive form 'uczyć się' means to learn or study, and requires 'się' + genitive case for the subject (e.g., 'uczyć się języka polskiego' — to learn Polish).
