    Translation

    Hi Czesiek! Do you comb your hair more often frequently, or more often sometimes?

    Vocabulary

    • cześć — hi, hello (informal greeting)
    • Czesiek — diminutive of Czesław (a name)
    • czesać się — to comb one's hair
    • częściej — more often (comparative of 'często')
    • często — often
    • czasem — sometimes

    Grammar note

    'Czeszesz się' — 2nd person singular present reflexive of 'czesać się'. 'Częściej' is the comparative adverb. The sentence is grammatically valid but semantically absurd — a hallmark of Polish tongue twisters.
