English 🇬🇧🇺🇸:
In Polish 🇵🇱, a single lemma can create many surface forms. A noun can have about 14 forms (7 cases × 2 numbers). An adjective can reach 30–60 forms, depending on gender, case, number, and degree. A verb can surpass 100 forms across person, number, tense, aspect, mood, and participles. This means that from a dictionary of about 100,000 lemmas, the total number of distinct forms easily rises into several millions.

Slavic ❊:
V poljskom jezyku 🇵🇱 jedno lema može tvoriti mnogo povrhnyh form. Substantiv može iměti okolo 14 form (7 padežev × 2 čisla). Adjektiv može dosěgnuti 30–60 form, v zavisimosti od roda, padeža, čisla i stupnja. Glagol može prevysiti 100 form črěz osobu, čislo, čas, vid, naklonjenosť i participy. To znači, že iz slovnika s oko 100 000 lemat obče čislo povrhnyh form lěgko idě v několik milionov.

English 🇬🇧🇺🇸:
By comparison, English nouns usually have only 2 forms (singular/plural), adjectives change little, and verbs have 4–5 forms (go, goes, went, gone, going). So even with a larger base vocabulary, the total number of distinct forms in English is smaller. By lemmas, English may be among the biggest; by forms, Polish and other Slavic languages (and Latin, Greek, Sanskrit) can surpass it.

Slavic ❊:
V sravnanju, anglijske substantivy obično imajut tolko 2 formy (jednina/množina), adjektivy malo se měnjajut, a glagoly imajut 4–5 form (go, goes, went, gone, going). Zato daže s většim osnovnym slovnikom obče čislo raznyh form v anglijskoj jezyku je menše. Po lemah anglijski može byti medžu najvěčšimi; po formah poljsky i drugy slovjanske jezyky (takože latinsky, grčsky, sanskritsky) mogut prevysiti go.
