  What it means

  Literally “to take an example.” Means to follow someone’s example, to model your behavior on someone else. Used with ‘z kogoś’: “brać przykład z kogoś” — to take after someone, to look up to them as a model.

  Vocabulary

  • brać — to take
  • przykład — example

  Grammar note

  'Przykład' is accusative — direct object of 'brać.' The source of the example takes genitive after 'z': 'brać przykład z nauczyciela' (to follow the teacher's example).
