koszyka

Koszyka is a Polish word that translates to "basket" in English. It is a common noun used to refer to any container, typically woven or made of flexible material, designed for carrying or holding items. This can include a shopping basket, a laundry basket, or a decorative basket used for storage. The word is derived from the Polish word "kosz," which also means "basket."

In a broader, figurative sense, "koszyka" can also refer to a shopping cart in a supermarket, as the contents of a shopper's intended purchases are conceptually placed within a "basket." Similarly, in e-commerce, an online shopping cart is often referred to as a "koszyka" in Polish, representing the virtual collection of items a customer wishes to buy. The term's versatility highlights its fundamental role in everyday commerce and domestic life.
