Przekonujemy

Przekonujemy is a Polish verb form meaning “we persuade” or “we convince.” It is the first-person plural present tense of the imperfective verb przekonywać, which denotes the act of persuading or convincing someone. Related forms in the same conjugation include przekonuję (I persuade), przekonujesz (you persuade), przekonuje (he/she persuades), przekonujecie (you all persuade), and przekonują (they persuade). The perfective counterpart is przekonać, used to express a completed act of persuasion.

In usage, przekonujemy requires a direct object for the person or group being persuaded (e.g., przekonujemy kogoś) and is often complemented by a phrase with do that indicates what one is persuading someone to do or believe, such as przekonać kogoś do zmiany decyzji or przekonać ich do poparcia projektu. It is a transitive, imperfective verb, emphasizing the process of persuasion rather than its completion.

Common contexts include everyday conversation, negotiations, and political or marketing discourse, where speakers describe efforts to influence opinions or choices. The form can be negated with nie przekonujemy, and past tense forms such as przekonaliśmy may be used to describe a completed persuasion.

See also: przekonywać, przekonać. Etymology reflects its relation to the root meaning of convincing, with Polish verb morphology attaching person and tense endings to convey who performs the persuasion and when.
