Obejmowania

Obejmowania is a Polish noun that denotes the act or process of embracing, enclosing, or including something within a boundary. It covers both the physical act of wrapping one’s arms around someone and the figurative sense of including or encompassing a subject within a larger scope. In everyday language it can refer to hugging as well as to broader concepts such as territory, responsibilities, or topics that are covered by a plan or policy.

Formally, the word is a nominalization derived from the verb obejmować (to embrace, to include, to cover) by means of the suffix -owanie. This construction is common in Polish for turning verbs into nouns that describe an action or process. The noun is neuter in gender and is used in both concrete and abstract contexts.

Usage and contexts vary. In the physical sense, it describes the act of holding someone in one’s arms, for example in expressions about comfort or affection. In a figurative or technical sense, it appears in legal, administrative, or geographical language to express inclusion or coverage, such as obejmowanie jurysdykcji, obejmowanie terytorium, or obejmowanie zakresu działań. The term can occur in formal documents, policy descriptions, and scholarly writing when stating what is included within a given scope.

Related terms include the verb obejmować (to embrace, to include) and the noun obejmowanie as well as synonyms like zawieranie (to contain). The concept is closely tied to notions of scope, coverage, and inclusion in both physical and abstract dimensions.
