yczeniem

Yczeniem, in standard Polish written as życzenie, is a neuter noun meaning a wish, desire, or request, and also a set of well-wishes, for example in greetings. It can refer to an individual desire someone expresses, the act of wishing, or the wishes directed toward someone else. The instrumental singular form is życzeniem, and the plural nominative form is życzenia (as in two or more wishes). The genitive plural is życzeń, used in phrases like nie spełniłem twoich życzeń.

Etymology and related forms: życzenie is derived from the verb życzyć, “to wish” or “to desire,” with the common noun-forming suffix -enie. Related words include życzyć (to wish), życzliwy (kind, benevolent) and życzność (benevolence), all sharing the same root.

Usage: In everyday language, życzenie denotes a personal wish, as in Mam jedno życzenie (I have one wish). It also appears in constructions meaning to fulfill a desire, such as spełnić czyjeś życzenie (to fulfill someone’s wish) or wyrazić życzenie (to express a wish). In the context of greetings or celebrations, życzenia refers to well-wishes, for example życzenia noworoczne (New Year’s wishes) or kartki z życzeniami (cards with wishes).

Notes: The form yczeniem is the non-diacritic representation of życzeniem, used in contexts where Polish diacritics are omitted. As a grammatical term, życzenie is a standard noun with typical Polish neuter declension patterns, adapting its endings to case and number.
