sugeruje

Sugeruje is a Polish verb form meaning “to suggest” or “to imply.” In present tense it is the third-person singular: on sugeruje, ona sugeruje, to sugeruje. The word is commonly used to indicate that something points to a conclusion or possibility without asserting it directly.

Etymology and related forms: Sugerować derives from Latin sugestões (suggerere, “to bring to mind, to hint”) and has cognates in many languages, such as English suggest, French suggérer, and Spanish sugerir. In Polish, the verb forms follow standard -ać/-ować conjugation patterns, with perfective forms such as zasugerować used when emphasizing that a suggestion is presented as a conclusion.

Usage and nuance: Sugeruje is frequent in formal and semi-formal writing, journalism, and academic prose. It is typically followed by a clause introduced with że or iż to present the inferred proposition, e.g., Wyniki badań sugerują, że temperatura wzrosła (The results suggest that the temperature has risen). It can also take direct objects in constructions like to sugeruje pewne konsekwencje (this suggests certain consequences). The nuance is one of indirect indication rather than definite claim.

Related terms: Synonyms include wskazywać (to indicate), napomykać (to hint), and podpowiadać (to hint or imply). The related perfective verb zasugerować emphasizes presenting a firm suggestion or conclusion.
