    Translation

    I am the postmaster from Tczew.

    Vocabulary

    • jam — I am (archaic/poetic form of 'ja jestem')
    • poczmistrz — postmaster (archaic)
    • Tczew — a town in northern Poland (genitive: Tczewa)

    Grammar note

    'Jam jest' is an archaic construction — 'jam' is the enclitic form of 'ja' (I) fused with the auxiliary. 'Z Tczewa' uses the genitive after 'z' (from).
