zebraniu

Zebraniu is a Polish noun form meaning a meeting or assembly. In English, zebranie refers to a scheduled gathering of people for discussion, decision-making, or information exchange. Zebraniu specifically is the locative singular form of zebranie, used with prepositions such as na zebraniu (at the meeting) or o zebraniu (about the meeting).

Etymology and grammar: Zebranie derives from the verb zebrac, meaning to gather or assemble. The word forms in gendered and case-based Polish; zebraniu is used when describing location or context, for example, “na zebraniu” or “podczas zebraniu.” Related terms include spotkanie (a more general meeting) and zgromadzenie or walne zgromadzenie (an assembly or general meeting in formal or corporate contexts).

Usage and structure: Zebrania are organized around an agenda and typically have a chairperson to lead discussion and a secretary to record minutes (protokół). Common features include a quorum requirement to take binding decisions, discussion of predefined topics, voting on motions, and the issuance of a meeting record. The formality and procedures of a zebranie vary by organization, jurisdiction, and the purpose of the gathering.

Types and contexts: Zebrania occur in many settings, such as workplaces, schools, community associations, or civic groups. A “walne zebranie” or general meeting is common in companies or associations and often involves formal decisions and statutory requirements. More informal or class-based meetings might be referred to as zebranie klasowe or community meetings.
