Formuujemy

Formułujemy is the first-person plural present tense form of the Polish verb formułować, meaning “we formulate” or “we phrase.” It is used when the speaker and others are actively drafting, articulating, or specifying statements, rules, or propositions. The verb traces its meaning to the noun formula and has entered Polish with the sense of turning ideas into clear, articulated text.

Usage and nuance: In formal and written Polish, formułujemy signals a deliberate act of composing or clarifying what is being stated. It is common in policy documents, academic writing, project planning, meeting minutes, and proposals. The nuance emphasizes not just discussing ideas but shaping them into precise formulations that can be cited or enacted.

Grammatical notes: Formułujemy is a finite, present-tense form in the indicative mood, with the subject typically an implied “we.” The infinitive is formułować. The imperfective vs perfective pair involves formułować (imperfective) and sformułować (perfective), the latter indicating a completed act of formulation. Related past tense forms include formułowaliśmy (we formulated) and formułowalibyśmy (we would formulate), depending on mood and aspect.

See also: formułować, sformułować. Example sentences illustrate typical contexts: “Formułujemy zasady bezpieczeństwa” and “Zanim podpiszemy umowę, sformułujemy jej warunki.”
