zgromadzeniu

Zgromadzenie is a Polish noun meaning an assembly or gathering of people, often endowed with a formal or organizational character. It can refer to a single event, a regularly convened body, or the collective body of members who meet to discuss and decide on matters within a group or institution.

Etymology and form: the word derives from the verb gromadzić “to gather,” with the prefix z- forming a noun that denotes the act or result of gathering. The term is gender-neutral in common usage and can appear in various grammatical cases, such as zgromadzenie (nominative), zgromadzenia (genitive), or zgromadzeniu (dative and locative).

Usage and contexts: in law and organizational life, zgromadzenie frequently refers to formal meetings of members, for example Walne Zgromadzenie Spółki (the company’s general meeting) or zgromadzenie wspólnot mieszkaniowych (the housing community’s general assembly). In public and political history, the phrase Zgromadzenie Narodowe has been used for a combined parliamentary body in certain periods of Polish history. In international contexts, Zgromadzenie Ogólne is the Polish name for the General Assembly of the United Nations. More generally, zgromadzenie can denote any sizable gathering of people, though in everyday language it remains somewhat more formal than a mere spotkanie (meeting) or demonstracja (demonstration).

Notes: the exact legal significance of zgromadzenie depends on the applicable statute or organizational rules, and terms like Walne Zgromadzenie are common in corporate and cooperative contexts. The word emphasizes structure, purpose, and collective decision-making within a group.
