przesun

Przesun is a Polish term that primarily appears as the stem in verbs describing movement or shifting of objects. It is most commonly associated with the verbs przesunąć and przesuwać, meaning to move something to a different position or to shift it. The form itself is not typically listed as a stand-alone dictionary entry; instead, speakers use the full verb forms or related nouns such as przesunięcie (displacement, shift) to express the concept.

In usage, przesun can appear in phrases where movement is described, such as moving an object in space, adjusting a position, or changing a parameter. The imperfective verb przesuwać emphasizes repeated or ongoing movement, while the perfective przypusnąć? (note: correct form is przesunąć) denotes a completed action of moving or shifting something. The imperative form is przesun or przesuń, depending on the person and mood, and is commonly used in instructional or UI contexts.

In computing and user interfaces, the idea of moving elements is typically conveyed with phrases built on przesun or przesunięcie, such as "przesuń suwak" (move the slider) or "przesuń okno" (move the window). In technical writing, the preferred terms for the concept of a spatial shift are przesunięcie or translacja (especially in geometry), with przesun serving as the everyday verb counterpart.

See also: przesuwać, przesunąć, przesunięcie, translacja, przesunięcie granic. Notes: as a standalone lexical item, przesun is largely a stem form; for precise meaning, the related verbs or the noun form are used.
