Piszemy

Piszemy is a Polish verb form meaning "we write." It is the first-person plural present tense of the verb pisać, which denotes the act of writing. In Polish, the subject is often explicit or understood from context, and piszemy is used when the speaker includes themselves and at least one other person.

Grammatical notes: Piszemy derives from the stem pisz- with the standard 1st-person plural present ending -emy. It is an imperfective verb, indicating an ongoing, habitual, or repeated action rather than a completed event. The form is identical regardless of the gender of the speakers, reflecting a property of Polish verb conjugation where present-tense endings do not change with gender for the first person plural.

Usage and examples: Piszemy is commonly used in everyday speech and writing. Examples include: "Piszemy list do znajomych." (We are writing a letter to friends.) "Piszemy raporty codziennie." (We write reports every day.) "Nie piszemy teraz." (We are not writing right now.) It often appears in conversational context, academic writing, or collaborative communication to indicate a shared writing activity.

Relation to other forms: Piszemy contrasts with "piszę" (I write) and "piszesz" (you write) in the singular, and with "piszecie" (you all write) and "piszą" (they write) in other persons. The verb itself is part of the larger family of Polish imperfective verbs meaning the act of writing, as opposed to the perfective counterpart that emphasizes the completion of a writing task.
