Sekretarza

Sekretarza is the genitive singular and accusative singular form of the Polish noun sekretarz. Sekretarz denotes a person who performs administrative tasks in an office or a government or party official. The feminine form is sekretarka. The word derives from Latin secretarius and has cognates in many languages, reflecting its long history of roles involving keeping records and handling confidential information.

In contemporary usage, a sekretarz performs clerical and administrative duties: handling correspondence, scheduling meetings, preparing documents, maintaining records, coordinating tasks, and assisting executives or officials. In larger organizations the office or staff that perform these duties is called sekretariat. The term can also appear in titles that indicate official status within political, governmental, or religious institutions.

In political and historical contexts the term can denote an official position, such as the secretary to a leader or administrator. Historical usage includes phrases like pierwsze sekretarz, referring to a leading position in a party during certain periods. The title sekretarz stanu appears in government-related contexts to denote a state or government secretary.

As a grammatical form, sekretarza appears in sentences requiring the genitive or accusative case, such as references to an object of a secretary’s actions or possession. Related terms—sekretarz (masculine), sekretarka (feminine), and sekretariat (the office or secretariat)—share the same semantic field with gender and office distinctions.
