    'Zaraz na początku studiów mój przyjaciel zakochał się do szaleństwa w uroczej dziewczynie. Krysia również bardzo go pokochała, zaręczyli się.' And one more thing to check if I'm getting everything right: While 'zakohać się w -' emphasizes the action of falling in love, 'pokochać' rather simply tries to convey a 'perfective' meaning of love (even though it also might mean falling in love) - is this correct?

    Thank you @Daria for your detailed explanation! I have one thing that I'd like to clear up a little: so, do you mean that unlike 'zakochać się', 'pokochać' has a connotation of 'loving smn for a limited time being; not loving him/her now'?

    I see! What I find quite ironic though, is that when an imperfective verb that signifies a state of something (np. kochać, wierzyć, rozumieć, martwić się, i tak dalej) is transformed to a perfective verb, it refers the beginning point of the state, while other perfective verbs tend to emphasize the ‘termination’ or the 'culmination' of the imperfective verb. Would it, by any chance, be a reasonable guess if I perceive the meaning of the perfective word “zapamiętać” as ‘to have started to remember’, as if, for example, the perfective word “u- + wierzyć” is understood something like ‘to have started to believe’ and “z- + rozumieć” as ‘to have started to understand’?

    About the verb 'pamiętać' Dzień dobry :D Exactly how do these two words, 'zapamiętać' and 'popamiętać', differ in meaning? Also, is there any semantic difference between those two words and 'pamiętać', the basic ndk. form? And on more thing -- I see that 'zapamiętać' has a ndk. form of its own (zapamiętywać), then does 'popamiętać' also has its own ndk. form (like 'popamiętywać')? I just searched this 'popamiętywać' word on Google and there were only two results showing up; I'm having a hard time figuring out what this indicates -- if the word is a time-to-time grammatical error committed by native speakers, or an already-existing vocabulary that just isn't used very often. Dziękuję za opowiedzenie na moje pytanie!
