Most of the following are informal expressions.

Jak masz na imię? - What's your first name?
Mam na imię ... - My first name is ...

Jak się nazywasz? - What's you name? (both first and last name)
Nazywam się ... - My name is ...

Jak się masz? - How are you?
Świetnie - Great
Dobrze - Okey/Good
Źle - Bad

Ile masz lat? - How old are you?
Mam ... lat(a). - I am ... years old.

Skąd jesteś? - Where are you from?
Jestem z ... - I'm from...

Kocham Cię - I love you

Poproszę o... - Can I have ... please

Dziękuje - Thank you!

Proszę - You're welcome
(usually when someone says thank you before, or you give sth to someone.)

Merely adding a little to the above:

Witajcie! (veetiechyeh) = Hi!/Hello!/Welcome! informally to more than one person

Jak leci? (Yahk lehchee) = How's it going?

Słucham? (Swookhahmm) or Słucham! = Excuse me, please? How's that? Used if something is not understood clearly, sometimes too when picking up the telephone, where Americans or Brits might just say 'Hello!'

Pa! (pahh) = Bye for now! Ciao! - very informal, a bit like 'Cześć

Dobrej zabawy! (dawbray zahbavee) = Have a good time!

Smacznego! (smahchnehgaw) = Enjoy your meal! Bon appetit!

Sto lat! (Staww lahtt) = Bless you - But only when you sneeze LOL

...... (but rather proper!)

Bardzo mi miło zapoznać! = Nice meeting you!/Nice to have met you!

Bardzo mi miło zapoznać! - sounds a bit awkward - I'd rather used 'Miło mi Cię / Panią / Pana poznać'
cię for 'you'
panią for 'madam'
pana for 'sir'

Appreciate the observation, mav! :-)

By the way (Zresztą), can one say 'Miłego dnia!' or is that too literally 'Have a nice day!' as in English? I never use it when speaking with Poles and never even heard it in Poland. LOL

2.Mau Kemana? = Where are you going?

3.Bisa minta tolong? = Can you help me, please?
