معنی
Something is highly sought after.
زمینه فرهنگی
Poles highly value 'zaradność' (resourcefulness). Being able to fix things or find solutions is always 'w cenie' in Polish households. In the Polish corporate world, 'soft skills' were long ignored in favor of 'hard skills'. Now, phrases like 'kompetencje miękkie są w cenie' are everywhere. Younger generations use 'w cenie' for vintage fashion (second-hand shops), reflecting a shift towards sustainability. During the partitions of Poland, 'patriotyzm' and 'honor' were the traits most 'w cenie' in literature and secret societies.
