Przyjacióki

Przyjaciółka is a Polish noun meaning a female friend. The term denotes a close, personal connection between women or girls, rather than a casual acquaintance. The plural nominative form is przyjaciółki, and the genitive plural is przyjaciółek. The spelling przi yja ci ki? Note that the form "przyjacióki" is not standard in Polish orthography; the correct standard plural is przyjaciółki. In everyday usage, people may refer to more than one female friend simply as moje przyjaciółki (my female friends).

Etymology and forms: the word is derived from przyjaciel, meaning a male friend, with the feminine suffix -ka to form przyjaciółka (a female friend). The plural combines the root with the common plural ending -i/-ki: przyjaciółki. The term exists alongside synonyms such as koleżanki, which are generally used for female peers or casual friends, while przyjaciółki carries connotations of warmth and a stronger personal bond.

Usage and nuance: przyjaciółki implies a close, trusting relationship, often built over time. It may be used to describe lifelong companions, confidants, or a close-knit female friendship group. In contrast, koleżanki can refer to female colleagues, classmates, or a broader circle of friends without the same degree of intimacy. The possessive forms are moja przyjaciółka (my female friend) and moje przyjaciółki (my female friends).

In culture, the term appears in everyday speech and in media. It is also the title of the Polish television series Przyjaciółki, which centers on the lives of four women and their friendship.
