potwierdzamy

Potwierdzamy is a Polish verb form meaning “we confirm.” It is the first-person plural present tense of the imperfective verb potwierdzać, or the first-person plural future tense of the perfective potwierdzić. In practice, it is used in formal and official contexts to acknowledge information, agreements, or actions that have taken place or will take place.

In business and administrative communication, potwierdzamy appears to indicate that a statement has been acknowledged or an instruction will be followed. Common contexts include confirming receipt of documents or orders, reservations, or data. For example, Potwierdzamy otrzymanie faktury (We confirm receipt of the invoice) or Potwierdzamy rezerwację na nazwisko Kowalski (We confirm the reservation under the name Kowalski).

Grammatically, potwierdzamy is typically followed by a direct object or a clause indicating what is being acknowledged, such as otrzymanie (receiving), szczegóły (details), or zamówienie (order). The phrase can be used in a straightforward declarative sentence or as part of a larger confirmation statement in letters, emails, or formal notes.

Etymology traces potwierdzanie to the verb potwierdzić/potwierdzać, which derive from the root related to asserting or proving something, with prefixes that convey completing or verifying a fact. The term is standard in formal Polish and deliberately neutral in tone, avoiding casual or colloquial registers.

See also: potwierdzać, potwierdzić, potwierdzenie. Translation in English often renders potwierdzamy as “we confirm” or “we will confirm,” depending on aspect and tense.
