Dopuszczacie

Dopuszczacie is the second-person plural present tense form of the Polish verb dopuszczać. The verb means to allow, permit, admit, or to tolerate, and it can also express admitting someone or something into a space or into consideration. The form dopuszczacie is used when addressing multiple people who are being asked or told that they permit or admit something.

Grammatically, dopuszczacie functions with a direct object in many cases, often followed by an infinitive or a noun phrase. Examples include dopuszczacie go do środka? (Are you letting him in?), dopuszczacie możliwość zmiany terminu? (Do you allow the possibility of changing the date?), and firma dopuszcza zwroty w 14 dni (the company permits returns within 14 days). The verb is imperfective, so it describes ongoing or repeated permission, in contrast to its perfective counterpart dopusić/dopuścić, which emphasizes a single act of allowing.

Common nuances and usage notes:

- Dopuszczacie can express both granting access (admission) and permitting actions or ideas (allowing an option or argument to be considered).

- It is often used in formal or policy language, but remains common in everyday speech as well.

- In contexts where a more explicit permission from an authority is meant, synonyms such as zezwalać or pozwalać may be used, though dopuszczacie specifically emphasizes the act of permitting within a situation.

Related forms include dopuszczam, dopuszczasz, dopuszcza, dopuszczamy, dopuszczacie, dopuszczają, which follow the regular conjugation pattern of the imperfective verb. The term is neutral in tone and widely understood in standard Polish.
