pomijamy

Pomijamy is the present tense form of the Polish verb pomijać, meaning "we omit" or "we skip." It denotes an act of not including or not considering certain information, details, or elements. As an imperfective verb, pomijać describes an ongoing or habitual action rather than a completed one.

Grammatical notes: pomijać is a regular imperfective verb of the first conjugation group. Present tense forms are: ja pomijam, ty pomijasz, on/ona/ono pomija, my pomijamy, wy pomijacie, oni/one pomijają. The past tense is formed with the auxiliary być and the past participle, yielding forms such as pomijałem/pomijała/pomijało (singular) and pomijaliśmy/pomijaliście/pomijaly (plural), depending on gender. The gerund form is pomijając, used to introduce accompanying circumstances. The passive participle is pomijany (omit-taken as an attribute).

It often contrasts with phrases like uwzględniamy (we take into account) and nie pomijamy (we do not omit). Examples: “Podczas analizy pomijamy drobne błędy” (During the analysis we omit minor errors) and “W raporcie nie pomijamy kluczowych faktów” (In the report we do not omit key facts). The verb can imply intentional omission or a lack of necessity to mention certain elements.

Etymology and related forms: pomijać is formed with the prefix po- added to mijać, historically linked to the sense of letting something pass by or not taking it into account. Related forms include pomijany (omitted, being omitted) and pomijanie (omission).
