"Jadę na wakacje."

Translation: I am going on vacation.

[Braito84]

I am going on holidays is also valid

[sirwootalot]

No, it isn't - that'd be "jadę na wakacji". "I'm going on holiday" would be fine, however.

[mihxal]

No, "jadę na wakacji" is not correct. "Wakacje" are always plural in Polish.

[sirwootalot]

Oh, like Drzwi? Good to know, thanks!

[mihxal]

Yes and like holidays. Besides you used a wrong case. "Na" takes Locative when something is on something. In this case it's "na" + Accusative because you go to holidays. You could say: "Jestem na wakacjach" (I am on holidays).

[Walkinthedog]

Back 75 years ago we said, ja ide na wakacje, Correct or not"

[Jellei]

Sounds strange to my ear. "idę" is going on foot, so it is as if you went to the nearby town on foot for your vacations, but that would be a surprising thing to say even then... it sounds more as if you were talking about 'taking a vacation from work', but that's rather "urlop".

[Falstaff4]

"Na" is the preposition used with all the following sentences: I am at the station. I am going on vacation. I am going to the airport. I am riding a motorcycle. is it safe to assume that na is the preposition to use when dealing with travel/transportation?

[Jellei]

Unfortunately, it's not safe. There are too many things to take into consideration here.

As for being somewhere (at the station), you can either use "na" + Locative or "w" + Locative. The general rule would be that "na" is used with more... open spaces (na stacji, na lotnisku), and "w" with closed ones (w sklepie, w szkole). But the number of exceptions will not be small, so that is just a very general rule of thumb.

Similarly, when going somewhere, you can either use "na" + Accusative or "do" + Genitive. The rule of thumb is the same and is also not very strict. "na stację", "na lotnisko", "do sklepu", "do szkoły".

"Jadę na wakacje"... well, it's just a fixed phrase. "Jadę na motorze" - well, you are 'on' a motorcycle when you ride it, right? So it is literally 'on'. Similarly 'na rowerze'. But if you take a car or a bus, you are not 'on' it but 'in it'. You rather won't say "Jadę w autobusie" (I am going/riding in a bus), you will say "Jadę autobusem" - use Instrumental, as you 'use' the bus like some kind of an 'instrument'.

[ellewrobo]

Could this be translated as, "I driving for the vacation" as in, "i am driving for the vacation, as my mom is a terrible driver" or is it more of a known statement that means "im going on vacation" no matter what?

[Jellei]

I think this really is the "I'm going on vacation" one. Your interpretation would have to be more specific in Polish.

[Jeanette364461]

"I am going for vacation" should also be accepted.
