Wzywamy

Wzywamy is a Polish verb form meaning "we call," "we summon," or "we urge." It is the first-person plural present tense of the imperfective verb wzywać, used to describe an ongoing or repeated act of calling upon someone or requesting action. The event is viewed as not yet completed, in contrast to its perfective counterpart wezwać, which denotes a completed action.

In Polish, wzywać belongs to the regular conjugation of imperfective verbs with the prefix w-. The present tense forms are: ja wzywam, ty wzywasz, on wzywa, my wzywamy, wy wzywacie, oni wzywają. The verb also forms past tenses (e.g., wzywaliśmy, wzywałeś) and future forms in its imperfective aspect, while the related perfective verb wezwać expresses a single, completed act.

Usage of wzywamy is common in formal or authoritative language, including public statements, legal or administrative contexts, and press releases. It is often employed to call upon authorities, institutions, or groups to take action or to appeal for compliance. For example: Wzywamy wszystkich do zachowania spokoju. Wzywamy władze do podjęcia działań w tej sprawie. These constructions illustrate the neutral, directive nuance of the verb, which can convey both a literal summons and a figurative appeal.

Etymology traces wzywać to the Polish imperfective verb family formed with the prefix w- and the root related to calling or summoning, with wezwać serving as the corresponding perfective variant. See also related verbs: wezwać, wzywać, apelować.
