  What it means

  Literally “to place pressure.” Means to emphasise, to stress, to put pressure on — used both for highlighting a point and for applying pressure to someone.

  Vocabulary

  • kłaść — to place / to lay (imperfective)
  • nacisk — pressure / emphasis / stress

  Grammar note

  'Nacisk' is the accusative — direct object of 'kłaść'. Used with 'na': 'kłaść nacisk na coś' (to place emphasis on something).
