1. "Panienka" (pan-yen-ka) - This is the most common and direct translation for "Miss" as a title of respect for an unmarried woman, similar to "Miss" in English.
2. "Pani" (pa-nee) - This translates to "Mrs." or "Ms." and is a more general term of respect for a woman, regardless of marital status.
3. "Panna" (pa-na) - This is a more formal and old-fashioned word for "Miss," often used in official documents.
Therefore, the best translation for "Miss Smith" in Polish would be either "Panienka Smith" or "Pani Smith," depending on the formality of the situation.
Example:
* Formal: "Panienka Smith, proszę o rozmowę." (Miss Smith, please come in for the conversation.)
* Informal: "Pani Smith, jak się ma?" (Miss Smith, how are you?)
