        So this does not mean "I'm setting the table," as in putting plates and silverware and stuff on the table for a meal? It means "I'm building a table"?

          @NaomiNorth, The English phrase "to set the table" is "przygotować stół" in Polish, e.g. "(ja) przygotowuję stół do obiadu."

            I guess you could say that, but that's like "I'm preparing the table"... I think the closest is "nakrywać do stołu".

              +1 point from me

              "nakrywać do stołu" is the official proper Polish idiom. It slipped my mind, but often both verbs are used.

                    Yes. In fact, in this particular sentence, I think we should accept "build". Added now.
