Przeznaczy

Przeznaczy is a Polish verb form. It is the third-person singular future tense of the perfective verb przeznaczyć, which means to designate, allocate, or earmark for a specific purpose. The form is used when the subject will designate or set aside something in the future, often referring to money, resources, or assignments. The imperfective counterpart is przeznaczać, whose present tense forms include przeznacza, przeznaczamy, and so on.

Etymology and meaning. The verb combines the prefix prze- with the root znaczyć (to signify or mean), yielding a sense of marking something for a particular use. As a result, przeznaczyć conveys completion: an allocation or designation that has been decided or will be carried out. In everyday language, graduates of the form occur in formal or news-like contexts about budgets, plans, and allocations.

Usage. Przeznaczyć is commonly used with direct objects and with phrases indicating the purpose, such as na coś or dla kogoś. Examples: “Rząd przeznaczy środki na ochronę zdrowia” (The government will allocate funds for health care). “Środki zostały przeznaczone na edukację.” “Ta część została przeznaczona dla nowego programu.” The adjective przeznaczony, meaning destined or intended for, and the noun przeznaczenie (destiny, purpose, or intended use) are closely related in meaning.

Notes. The word can also appear in the sense of fate or destiny when connected with the noun przeznaczenie, though in common usage przeznaczyć emphasizes purposeful allocation or designation rather than metaphysical fate.
