Uczemy

Uczemy is a Polish verb form that means “we teach” in the present tense. It is the first-person plural form of the imperfective verb uczyć, which denotes the act of teaching or instructing. The same verb can be used with a reflexive pronoun to express learning: uczyć się means “to learn,” and uczymy się means “we learn,” depending on the context.

Usage and forms: In present tense, the verb is conjugated as ja uczę, ty uczysz, on/ona uczy, my uczymy, wy uczycie, oni uczą. The imperative form for the first person plural is uczmy, used as “let us teach.” Examples include: “My uczymy matematykę w klasie” (We teach mathematics in class) and “My uczymy się języków obcych” (We are learning foreign languages).

Etymology and related terms: The verb uczać/uczyć się derives from a Slavic root connected with teaching and learning. Related Polish words include uczeń (pupil or student) and uczony (learned, educated). These terms reflect the shared vocabulary of education across related languages.
