The polite form is very common and should be used when addressing someone you do not know well, or someone who is older or more senior than yourself. Unlike English, which commonly includes the surname in polite forms of address, e.g. Mr Brown, it is more common in Polish to address someone simply as Pan or Pani.proszę Pana! — excuse me, sir!

God, plunge, dip, wash, baptize. The transliteration ‘baptize’ signifies the ceremonial character that NT narratives accord such cleansing, but the need of qualifying statements or contextual coloring in the documents indicates that the term β. was not nearly so technical as the transliteration suggests.ⓐ of dedicatory cleansing associated w. the ministry of John the Baptist (Orig., C.

(1) in place of the dead, i.e. vicariously; (2) for the benefit of the dead, in var. senses; (3) locally, over (the graves of) the dead; (4) on account of the dead, infl. by their good ex.; of these the last two are the least probable.
