potwierd

Potwierd is not an established standalone term in English-language references. In Polish, potwierd is the stem used by the verbs potwierdzić (to confirm, perfective) and potwierdzać (to confirm, imperfective). It is not used as a separate lemma; rather, it serves as the root that combines with various endings to form conjugated verbs.

Common forms built from this stem include potwierdzam (I confirm), potwierdzasz (you confirm), potwierdza (he/she confirms), potwierdzili (they confirmed), and the infinitive potwierdzić (to confirm). The related noun potwierdzenie means confirmation or verification. These words are frequently encountered in formal, administrative, and technical contexts, such as reporting, data validation, and decision-making processes.

Etymology in Polish traces potwierd back to the verb potwierdzić, with the prefix po- and the root associated with verification or truth. The imperfective partner potwierdzać emphasizes ongoing or habitual confirmation, while potwierdzić expresses a completed action.

In usage, potwierd is typically seen within sentences that convey verification of facts, data, identities, or statements. Examples include: Władze potwierdziły dane. (The authorities confirmed the data.) Potwierdziłem to faktem. (I confirmed it as a fact.) The noun form potwierdzenie is common in formal reports and documentation.
