wymagamy

Wymagamy is the first-person plural present tense of the Polish verb wymagać. It means we require or we demand something, and it is used to express that a condition, standard, or rule is considered necessary or obligatory by the speaker or by an organization.

Grammatically, wymagać selects a genitive object: wymagać czegoś means to require something. It can also take the preposition od to indicate who is the recipient or subject of the demand: wymagać od kogoś. The form agrees with the subject, so it appears as wymagamy when the subject is we. For example, Wymagamy od pracowników punktualności.

Usage notes: wymagamy is common in formal, administrative, or organizational language and conveys a stronger standard than more everyday terms. In casual speech, speakers often opt for milder expressions such as potrzebujemy (we need) or oczekujemy (we expect), depending on nuance.

Examples:

- Wymagamy od pracowników punktualności.

- Ta praca wymaga od nas dodatkowych godzin pracy.

- Sytuacja wymaga natychmiastowych decyzji.

- Wymagamy od partnerów wysokich standardów obsługi.
