We created this list of 1000 most common Polish vocabulary words by processing a large number of Polish language texts, such as news articles.
This vocabulary list is sorted in decreasing order of frequency, meaning that the words appearing near the top of the list are more common than those appearing further down the list.
Polish is an inflected language; therefore, words appearing in sentences often have different endings than their dictionary form. We used a process called lemmatization to convert the terms to their dictionary form before counting them and sorting them by frequency.
