wstawanie

Wstawanie is a Polish noun that denotes the act or process of rising into an upright position, typically from lying in bed or from a seated posture. It is derived from the verb wstawać and describes both the moment of getting up and the ongoing action of rising. The term appears in everyday speech as well as in medical, educational, and literary contexts.

In medical and rehabilitative language, wstawanie is discussed in relation to mobility, balance, and independence, for example in assessments of how easily a person can perform sit-to-stand movements or get out of bed. In everyday use, phrases such as wstawanie z łóżka or trudne wstawanie are common, often referring to morning routines or age-related difficulties.

In literary or poetic usage, wstawanie can be used metaphorically to describe emergence or dawn, though the standard term for sunrise is wschód słońca. The word is grammatically a neuter noun and forms phrases with adjectives or adverbs, e.g., szybkie wstawanie, ciężkie wstawanie. Related verbs are wstać (perfective, to get up) and wstawać (imperfective, to be getting up).
