Postrzegamy

Postrzegamy is the first-person plural present tense form of the Polish verb postrzegać. The verb means to perceive, to regard, or to notice, and can refer to sensory perception as well as cognitive evaluation or interpretation. The form postrzegamy is used when the speaker includes themselves with others in the act of perceiving, or when signaling a collective stance or shared judgment.

Postrzegać is an imperfective verb, describing ongoing or general perception rather than a completed act. Its related noun is postrzeganie (perception). The verb forms follow regular conjugation patterns: ja postrzegam, ty postrzegasz, on postrzega, my postrzegamy, wy postrzegacie, oni postrzegają. The present form postrzegamy is complemented by other tenses and aspects as needed in speech and writing.

In use, postrzegamy can refer to sensory perception (how we perceive the world through our senses) or to interpretation, evaluation, or stance toward a phenomenon (how we perceive a situation). It is common in both everyday language and more formal or scientific contexts to describe collective observations, judgments, or attitudes.

Example sentences:

- Postrzegamy ten sygnał jako ostrzeżenie. (We perceive this signal as a warning.)

- Jako społeczeństwo postrzegamy problem bez jednoznacznego rozwiązania. (As a society we perceive the problem as lacking a straightforward solution.)

- Dzieci postrzegają świat w sposób prostszy niż dorośli. (Children perceive the world in a simpler way.)
