Posady

Posady is the plural form of the Polish noun posada. In contemporary Polish, posada denotes a job or official post held by a person within an organization, institution, or government. The term appears frequently in formal language, administrative documents, and discussions of career progression.

The singular posada refers to a single post, while posady describe multiple posts or positions. The expression obsadzić posady means to fill the posts, and pełnić posadę means to hold a post. Phrases like wysokie posady or wysokie stanowiska are common when talking about senior or influential positions in public administration, business, or other organizations. In everyday usage, posada is often synonymous with stanowisko, though posada can carry a slightly more formal or appointment-specific nuance.

Etymology traces posada to historical and formal uses related to the idea of placement or assigned office within an organization. In modern Polish, the term remains primarily associated with employment or official function, rather than with lodging, which is not a standard meaning in current usage.
