Pomijali

Pomijali is the past tense, imperfective form of the Polish verb pomijać, meaning to omit, skip, or leave out. It is used to describe Omissions that occurred in the past, often implying a habitual or repeated action rather than a single completed event. The form denotes a masculine personal subject or a mixed-gender group; feminine groups would use pomijały, and other gender/number variations exist for different subjects.

Grammatically, pomijali is part of the imperfective aspect, which emphasizes the process or ongoing nature of an action rather than its completion. This contrasts with the perfective counterpart pominęli (or the related perfective pominąć in other forms), which would refer to a single, completed omission. The word belongs to the transitive verb class, typically taking a direct object such as fakty, szczegóły, or decyzje (e.g., istotne fakty, szczegóły, decyzje).

Usage notes:

- Pomijali often appears in descriptive or analytical writing, journalism, and narrative prose to indicate that certain elements were left out or disregarded.

- It can convey intentional omission or neglect, but can also reflect inadvertent oversight depending on context.

- When discussing omissions as a concept, the noun pomijanie (the act of omitting) is commonly used.
