Piecze

Piecze is a Polish verb form. It is the third-person singular present tense of the verb piec, which means to bake or roast. In everyday language it is used to indicate that someone is baking or regularly bakes. For example, On piecze ciasto means "He bakes a cake."

The full present-tense paradigm of piec includes: ja piecę (I bake), ty pieczesz (you bake), on piecze (he bakes), my pieczemy (we bake), wy piecziecie (you bake), oni pieką (they bake). Piec is an imperfective verb, describing ongoing or repeated baking. Its perfective counterpart is upiec, which expresses that something is baked completely, as in upiec ciasto (to bake a cake through).

Piecze can appear in various tenses through standard Polish inflection and periphrastic forms, but as a standalone word it is most directly recognized as the present-tense form for the subject in the third person. In written Polish, piecze is always a verb form rather than a noun, and its meaning remains clearly tied to the act of baking or roasting. The word does not denote a place, object, or concept beyond its function as a grammatical form of the verb piec.
