wizyta

Wizyta is a Polish noun meaning visit. It denotes the act of going to see someone or going to a place, and it can refer to a scheduled appointment as well as to a formal or ceremonial visit. The word is native to Polish and is used in both everyday speech and formal contexts, with nuances that vary by setting.

In medical contexts, wizyty usually refer to appointments with doctors or other health professionals, for example “Mam wizytę u lekarza” (I have a doctor’s appointment). Such visits involve scheduling, arrival times, and follow-up steps, and punctuality is generally expected.

In social contexts, a visit can mean a planned call at someone’s home. While “wizyta” is common, the term “odwiedziny” is also used and may convey a warmer or more casual tone, depending on the relationship between the people involved.

In official contexts, a wizyta may describe a formal visit by a person or delegation to another country, institution, or organization, such as a diplomatic visit or an official state visit. These uses often involve protocols, meetings, and public or media attention.

Other common uses include visits to places of interest, such as museums, universities, or companies, and everyday phrases like “mieć wizytę” or “odbyć wizytę.” The term covers a range of meanings from informal drop-ins to structured, purpose-driven engagements, all centered on the act of visiting.
