The aim of the article is an attempt to answer the question of what Polish speakers mean
when describing someone as porządny [decent]. Over 2,000 sentences taken from the
MoncoPL corpus were studied, containing combinations of the adjective under study with
nouns: człowiek, osoba, mężczyzna, facet, chłopak, kobieta, dziewczyna [man, person, guy, boy,
woman, girl]. The analyzes were preceded by a review of lexicographic definitions as well as
concepts of a decent man. Research has shown that the adjective porządny denotes a bundle of
positive traits that are concretized depending on the context. Only in relation to women, the
analyzed term is more precise and refers to the sexual and moral sphere.
