Polish words ending in -izm (from English -ism)

English -ism becomes Polish -izm: organism → organizm, optimism → optymizm, capitalism → kapitalizm. Watch the vowels in the stem — Polish spells the sounds it actually uses.

How the rule works

• All masculine: ten organizm.
• English y in the stem is often Polish y too: optimism → optymizm.
• Latin c before a back vowel becomes k: capitalism → kapitalizm.
• Stress lands before the ending: or-ga-NIZM has the stress on ga in the nominative.

Start with these

• organism → organizm🔊
• mechanism → mechanizm🔊
• optimism → optymizm🔊
