Interesting, I never actually encountered "czaj" used to describe tea. From a quick search it seems to be either prison slang, or a word used in eastern Poland, coming from Russia.
And then there's "czajnik" for teapot.
- fishnchips 9y agoI know it as a prison slang word to describe a very strong tea.
- iagooar 9y agoIn the area where I come from (Wielkopolska) czaj is a commonly known word for a "strong tea-like infusion". It's not prison slang at all, but of course there might be regional differences in the usage of this word.
- fishnchips 9y agoFunny, my wife is from Nowy Tomyśl and I literally never heard that word being used.
