szukać
/ʂuˈkaʦ/
Meaning
VerbVerb meaning 'to search for / to look for / to seek'.
How to use
The verb 'szukać' (to search / look for) is imperfective; its perfective pair is 'poszukać'. Note: the source metadata mistakenly lists this as a noun, but it is a verb. It conjugates regularly: 'szukam', 'szukasz'. Crucially, in Polish, 'szukać' always governs the GENITIVE case (e.g., 'szukać pracy' — to search for a job). Using the accusative case here is a major grammar error.
