sesjach

Sesjach is the locative plural form of the Polish noun sesja (session, sitting). It is used after prepositions that require the locative case, as in na sesjach, podczas sesjach, w sesjach. The term designates multiple instances of a formal meeting or a period of activity that is divided into sessions. Common contexts include parliamentary work (sesje Sejmu, sesje Senatu), academic exam periods (sesja egzaminacyjna), and conferences or committee meetings (sesje naukowe, sesje komisji).

Etymology and usage: The word sesja comes from Latin sessio, via European languages, and has been adopted into Polish to denote a series or block of meetings or activities. The plural locative form sesjach is used when the sentence requires a prepositional phrase with a location or time reference: "Podczas sesjach Sejmu" (during Parliament sessions).

Nuances: Sesja often implies a scheduled sequence of meetings and a defined period within a larger term or year, whereas posiedzenie tends to refer to a single meeting. In education, sesja egzaminacyjna describes the exam period after a term, while "zjazd" or "konferencja" would refer to separate events. The collocation sesje is common in formal writing and media coverage of political and academic life.
