This article deals with euphony understood as pleasant pronunciation of utterances, harmonization of sound quality of a word. A breach against euphony is the use of phonetic combinations perceived as difficult to pronounce, sounding unpleasant, cacophonous. The analysis encompassed chosen pairs of variable inflected forms which are in line with the linguistic norm confirmed by the PWN Grat Dictionary of the Correct Polish Language (e.g. magistrzy - magistrowie, pedagodzy - pedagogowie, bitw - bitew, brzytw - brzytew, napełń - napełnij). Quantitative data were obtained from the National Corpus of Polish. The research shows that euphony plays a great role in the choice of inflected variant forms. Inflected forms of word that contain phoneme combinations that are easier to pronounce have, generally, a higher frequency, even if such words are longer than their variants (syllable being the measure of length).
