otrzymaniem

Otrzymanie is a Polish noun formed from the verb otrzymać, meaning to receive or obtain. It denotes the act or process of receiving something, such as documents, permissions, benefits, or awards. The term is common in formal and administrative language, where it often appears in contexts describing what has been acquired or accepted.

Grammatical notes: otrzymanie is a neuter noun. It is declined as a standard neuter noun ending in -anie. The instrumental singular form is otrzymaniem, used in constructions where the act is in the instrumental case, for example in phrases like z otrzymaniem zgody (with the obtaining/receipt of consent). The full decline typically looks like: Nominative otrzymanie, Genitive otrzymania, Dative otrzymaniu, Accusative otrzymanie, Instrumental otrzymaniem, Locative otrzymaniu, Vocative otrzymanie.

Usage and nuance: otrzymanie emphasizes the process or event of receiving something, rather than the donor’s action of giving. It is often contrasted with synonyms such as uzyskanie, zdobycie or nabycie, which can carry nuances of effort, achievement, or acquisition. In official texts, otrzymanie appears in phrases like otrzymanie certyfikatu, otrzymanie dotacji, or potwierdzenie otrzymania wniosku, highlighting the moment of receipt or entitlement.

Examples: otrzymanie certyfikatu, potwierdzenie otrzymania wniosku, otrzymanie zgody. In many legal or administrative contexts, the instrumental form otrzymaniem may appear in constructions describing the means or accompanying action, e.g., z otrzymaniem dokumentów.

Otrzymanie thus serves as a formal term for the act of receiving, with otrzymaniem functioning as its instrumental form in suitable sentences.
