Bedeutung
to influence someone's decisions through force or demand
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Polish history, 'wywieranie presji' by foreign powers (Russia, Prussia, Austria) is a recurring theme in literature and national identity. Modern Polish 'korpo-mowa' (corporate speak) uses this phrase frequently to describe KPIs and deadlines, often with a negative connotation of burnout. There is a growing movement among Polish Gen Z to resist 'presja społeczna' regarding traditional life paths. Poland's position in the EU often involves 'wywieranie presji' on both sides regarding policy and funding.
Use the Perfective for Results
If you want to say the pressure worked, use 'wywrzeć'. Example: 'W końcu wywarliśmy na nich presję i podpisali umowę.'
Avoid 'Robić'
Native speakers will understand 'robić presję', but it will make you sound uneducated. Stick to 'wywierać'.
