Yes I have a few Polski mates and one of them tried to explain it to me but basically a couple with two children, a boy and a girl, all the M and the two F of would have different surnames the girl's name ends in ska. and my Polski mate the system was insane to.

Only if the ending is -ski, - cki, -dzki etc. Then a woman's name will have a form of - ska, -cka, -dzka respectively.
