miejmy

Miejmy is a Polish verb form that functions as the first-person plural imperative of the verb mieć, meaning “to have.” It expresses a proposal or exhortation by the speaker and others included in the group, translating roughly as “let us have” or “let’s …” in English. The form is commonly used to introduce collective actions, intentions, or states.

Form and grammar: Miejmy is present-tense, imperative mood, 1st person plural. It is built from the stem mie- with the suffix -my, and the subject “we” is implicit in the form. It is typically followed by a direct object in the accusative or by a noun phrase: for example, Miejmy nadzieję (Let us have hope), Miejmy cierpliwość (Let us be patient), Miejmy to na uwadze (Let us keep this in mind). The negative form is Nie miejmy.

Usage: Miejmy is common in formal, instructional, or rhetorical Polish, including speeches, essays, and policy texts. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for less formal constructions, but mięjmy remains correct and widely understood. It contrasts with the second-person plural imperative miejcie (you all have) and the singular imperative miej (have, for you).

Other notes: Miejmy is not used as a standalone noun or as a widely recognized proper noun. Outside its grammatical function, it does not denote a specific place, brand, or organization. The form is a standard part of Polish grammar, illustrating how the language uses inclusive imperatives to propose shared actions.
