oznaczamy

Oznaczamy is a Polish verb form standing for the 1st person plural present tense of oznaczać, meaning we mark, indicate or designate. It is an imperfective verb, used for actions that are ongoing, repeated, or generally true. The form can be used in everyday speech as well as in technical or formal language, for example when describing labeling procedures or mapping actions.

Etymology and related forms: oznaczać comes from the root znak, meaning sign or mark, with a prefix that conveys marking or designating. Related nouns include oznaczenie (designation, labeling) and oznaka (sign, mark). The perfective counterpart is oznaczyć, whose 1st person plural present is typically used as future: oznaczymy (we will mark). The imperative form for a collective action is oznaczmy (let us mark). Another related verb is zaznaczać (to highlight or mark, often with emphasis), which is frequently used in contexts like text processing or UI interactions.

Usage and contexts: oznaczamy is common in instructions, reports, and descriptions of procedures involving labeling, tagging, or identifying elements. In data labeling and quality control, one might say “Oznaczamy dane jako treningowe” or “Oznaczmy te rekordy jako potencjalne duplikaty.” In cartography or mapping, it can appear as “Oznaczamy granice na mapie.” In collaborative work, it can function as a suggestion with the imperative “Oznaczmy te punkty na planie.”
