odczuciu

Odczucie is a Polish noun meaning sensation, perception, or impression. It denotes a subjective experience of a stimulus, whether physical or mental, and is widely used in medical, psychological, philosophical, and everyday language. The term can refer to concrete sensory experiences such as pain, temperature, or fatigue, as well as to more general impressions of a situation or state.

In usage, odczucie often refers to perceptual phenomena rather than emotional sentiment. It can be contrasted with synonyms such as wrażenie (impression) and uczucie (feeling), where odczucie emphasizes the perceptual or bodily aspect. Adjectives frequently modify it, for example silne odczucie bólu or przykre odczucie zimna. The word forms a typical semantic field around subjective experience and bodily or mental states.

Etymology and morphology: odczucie is derived from the verb odczuć (to feel) with the noun-forming suffix -cie. It has the standard inflected forms: N odczucie; Gen odczucia; Dat odczuciu; Acc odczucie; Ins odczuciem; Loc odczuciu. Odczuciu is the dative singular or locative singular form of odczucie, used in sentences where the case requires these forms, such as after certain prepositions or with indirect objects. For example, it can appear in phrases like m mówić o odczuciu or w odczuciu bólu.
