Generalizuje

Generalizuje is the third-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb generalizować, meaning "to generalize." It is used when a speaker attributes a general property or rule based on a smaller set of observations, or when describing the act of moving from specific instances to a broader statement. The form applies to masculine, feminine, and neuter subjects in present tense as generalizuje for he, she, or it.

Grammatical notes: the infinitive is generalizować; the root is generaliz- and the standard present tense endings produce forms such as generalizuję (I generalize), generalizujesz (you generalize), generalizuje (he/she/it generalizes), generalizujemy (we generalize), generalizujecie (you all generalize), and generalizują (they generalize). The word derives from Latin generalis "of the whole" via Polish verbal formation with the suffix -ować.

Usage and nuance: generalizuje appears in academic prose, journalism, and everyday speech. It often signals an argument about a general rule or pattern, but can be criticized when it marks an overgeneralization based on too few examples. The related noun uogólnienie and the verb uogólniać are commonly used to refer to the act of generalizing, with nuances depending on aspect and context.

Example: Przykład: On generalizuje na podstawie kilku przypadków. Translation: He generalizes based on a few cases. This form is typical in discussions where a speaker evaluates whether a specific observation justifies broader conclusions.
