In Polish, the equivalent of Eric is "Eryk."

It's Mateusz.

Sometimes people consider also "Maciej" (diminutive: "Maciek") to be an equivalent of this name, but in fact it is the equivalent of Mathias.

It is because both "Mateusz" and "Maciej" (Mathew and Mathias) stem form the same Hebrew name "Maithayahu" - but they were split in the Bible (New Testament): Matthew was the apostle who wrote the first Gospel, Mathias was the 13th apostle, chosen instead of Judas.

In Poland, Maciej is a far mor frequent name than Mateusz, ist seems - contrary to their English equivalents.

You can say "To jest ładny dzień" in Polish to mean "It's a nice day."

Thirteen in Polish is "trzynaście."

Father = Ojciec.

Ok, here it is: 1. Jak Pan ma na imię? 2. Proszę podać swoje imię.

To say "I missed you" in Polish, you would say "Tęskniłem za tobą" for a male speaker or "Tęskniłam za tobą" for a female speaker.
