podziwiacie

Podziwiacie is a Polish verb meaning "you all admire" or "you admire" (plural, formal or informal). It is the second-person plural present tense form of the verb "podziwiać." The verb "podziwiać" itself derives from the prefix "pod-" (under) and the root "ziwiać," which is related to seeing or looking. Therefore, the literal sense can be understood as looking up at something with awe or respect.

The act of podziwiacie can encompass a wide range of emotions and situations. It is commonly used when expressing admiration for a person's achievements, talents, or character. For example, one might say "Podziwiacie jego odwagę" (You all admire his courage) or "Podziwiacie jej talent muzyczny" (You admire her musical talent). Beyond personal qualities, podziwiacie can also be directed towards natural beauty, works of art, or impressive structures. Seeing a magnificent landscape and exclaiming "Jakże piękne, podziwiacie!" (How beautiful, you all admire!) is a typical usage.

The grammatical form "podziwiacie" specifically addresses multiple individuals. If addressing a single person informally, the verb would be "podziwiasz." If addressing a single person formally or a group formally, the verb would be "podziwiacie." This grammatical distinction is important in Polish for conveying the correct level of politeness and number of addressees. The verb's conjugation follows a regular pattern for verbs ending in "-ać" in the present tense.
