prezesa

Prezesa is the genitive singular form of the Polish noun prezes, which denotes the person who presides over an organization, such as a company board, a foundation, or a government body. In everyday language it functions to express possession, association, or attribution, for example in phrases like oświadczenie Prezesa (the president’s statement) or polityka Prezesa (the president’s policy). It is not a standalone name.

In formal or legal writing, Prezesa appears in constructions that refer to the holder of a specific office. A common pattern is the title Prezes Rady Ministrów, meaning Prime Minister, where the genitive form Prezesa is used within phrases such as oświadczenie Prezesa Rady Ministrów (the Prime Minister’s statement). Capitalization can reflect the formal title’s status, but in ordinary references to any given president or chairperson the word is usually written lowercase: prezes.

Morphology: singular forms include nominative prezes, genitive prezesa, dative prezesowi, accusative prezesa, instrumental prezesem, locative prezesa or prezesie depending on syntactic construction. The plural forms are prezesi (nominative), prezesi (vocative and other cases in some contexts), and genitive prezesów or prezesów in standard usage.

Etymology and related terms: prezes derives from a root meaning one who presides, with cognates in other languages that refer to a leading official. Related terms include the title Prezes, presidency, and praeses in Latin-based legal vocabulary.
