przenikajmy

Przenikajmy is a Polish verb form that functions as the first-person plural imperative (optative) of the verb przenikać, meaning to permeate, to penetrate, or to infiltrate. As an exhortation, it translates roughly to “let us permeate” or “let’s penetrate,” depending on the context. The form is typically used in formal, literary, or rhetorical language to urge a group to undertake a shared action.

Etymology and morphology: the base verb przenikać carries senses of both literal penetration and figurative penetration of ideas, spaces, or motives. The imperative form przenikajmy is built from the root przenik- with the standard 1st-person plural ending -ajmy, a pattern common for many Polish -ać verbs in proposals or exhortations.

Usage and nuance: przenikajmy is most often encountered in written prose, speeches, or theoretical discussions rather than everyday conversation. It can signal collaborative investigation, thorough examination, or a deliberate effort to infiltrate a system or domain, either literally or metaphorically. Because przenikać can imply intrusion in some contexts, the phrase may carry a strong, proactive tone and is usually found in contexts that emphasize collective action and inquiry.

Examples: "Przenikajmy do istoty problemu." / "Przenikajmy wszystkie warstwy tego zagadnienia." These illustrate a facilitator’s or analyst’s call for comprehensive, joint exploration.
