Przygotowywaniu

Przygotowywaniu is a Polish noun form that denotes the act of preparing or the process of preparation. It is neuter in gender and appears as the dative or locative singular form of the noun przygotowywanie. In everyday usage it commonly occurs with prepositions that require these cases, for example w przygotowywaniu or o przygotowywaniu.

The noun przygotowywanie is formed from the verb przygotowywać (to prepare) with the nominalizing suffix -anie, yielding a word that designates the ongoing activity rather than a finished result. The form przygotowywaniu specifically marks the dative or locative case, depending on the syntactic context.

Usage-wise, przygotowywaniu emphasizes the process of making preparations. It appears in formal and descriptive texts to refer to the activity itself, such as in phrases like w przygotowywaniu materiałów (in the preparation of materials) or o przygotowywaniu wydarzenia (about the preparation of the event). This contrasts with przygotowanie, which more often denotes the result or the stage of being prepared.

Related terms include przygotowywanie (the act itself as a general noun), przygotowanie (preparation or readiness), and przygotowywać (to prepare). Understanding the case form preparing a sentence with w or o helps determine whether przygotowywaniu refers to the location of the activity or to it being discussed.
