ubieram

Ubieram is the first-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb ubierać, meaning to dress or clothe. It is imperfective, used for ongoing or habitual actions, and can take a direct object describing what is being dressed or who is being dressed. The reflexive form ubieram się means I am getting dressed.

In everyday usage, ubieram is used to describe dressing another person or oneself. Examples include: "Ubieram dziecko w kurtkę" (I am dressing the child in a jacket) and "Ubieram się na wyjście" (I am getting dressed for going out). The verb often appears in contexts involving care or preparation, such as dressing children, guests, or oneself before leaving the house.

Grammatical notes: the present tense forms of ubierać are ubierasz (you are dressing), ubiera (he/she/it is dressing), ubieramy (we are dressing), ubieracie (you all are dressing), ubierają (they are dressing). The imperfective aspect contrasts with the perfective counterpart ubrac, which focuses on the completion of the act. For example, "ubiorę" means I will dress or I will clothe (future, perfective), and "ubrałem/ubrałam" means I dressed (past, perfective).

Related terms and usage: ubiór (attire, clothing) and ubranie (a clothing item). The verb is common in everyday speech and can appear in both casual and formal registers. Choosing ubierać versus ubrac depends on whether the speaker emphasizes the process (ongoing or habitual dressing) or the completed result of dressing.
