Przechowujemy

Przechowujemy is a Polish verb form meaning "we store" or "we keep." It is the first-person plural present tense of przechowywać, an imperfective verb describing ongoing or habitual storage or preservation. The base verb przechowywać is built with the prefix prze- added to chować, which means to keep or to hide.

In usage, przechowujemy is commonly employed to describe storing objects, documents, data, or information, as well as preserving items or memories. Because it is imperfective, the present tense can indicate general practice or a current, ongoing action. In legal or IT contexts, phrases like przechowujemy dane are frequent, referring to data retention practices, duration, and conditions.

Conjugation notes: Present tense forms include ja przechowuję, ty przechowujesz, on/ona/ono przechowuje, my przechowujemy, wy przechowujecie, oni/one przechowują. The verb has the perfective counterpart przechować, used to express a completed storage action (e.g., przechowamy dane for a planned future storage). Synonyms and related verbs include zachowywać for preserving or maintaining, though nuances differ.

Etymology: przechowywać derives from chować (to keep, to hide) with the prefix prze-, conveying a sense of thorough keeping or preservation. The form przechowujemy reflects standard Polish inflection for this verb in the present tense.
