뜻
Passing hours doing an activity.
문화적 배경
The concept of 'posiedzieć' (to sit for a while) is a key part of spending time. It's not about the activity, but about the presence of others. 'Aktywne spędzanie czasu' is a major trend. Cities like Warsaw and Kraków have seen a massive increase in people spending time on outdoor gyms and bike paths. Sunday is the traditional day for 'spędzanie czasu z rodziną'. It usually involves a multi-course dinner starting with 'rosół' (chicken soup). During 'Sesja' (exam period), students often talk about 'marnowanie czasu' as a form of procrastination guilt.
The Money Trap
Never use 'spędzać' for money. It's the most common mistake for English speakers!
Active vs Lazy
Use 'spędzać czas aktywnie' (actively) or 'spędzać czas leniwie' (lazily) to sound more like a native.

자주 묻는 질문
5 질문Yes, but it usually implies the duration or the social aspect of work. For the task itself, 'pracować nad czymś' is more common.
'Spędzać' is for habits or ongoing actions (I spend time every day). 'Spędzić' is for a one-time completed event (I spent time yesterday).
It is neutral. It's perfectly fine in both a business meeting and a casual chat with friends.
Use 'marnować czas'. For example: 'Marnuję czas na telefonie'.
Usually no. You need the object 'czas' or a specific period like 'wieczór' (evening) or 'wakacje' (holidays).
