Cultural Note
'Pragnienie' can mean both physical thirst and emotional desire/yearning. In romantic contexts, it conveys a deep, almost aching want for someone. It's more literary and intense than 'chęć' (wish/want). Polish love literature uses 'pragnienie' to express passionate longing that goes beyond simple attraction.
