Reprezentuje

Reprezentuje is the third-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb reprezentować, meaning to represent or is representing. It is used when someone acts on behalf of another person, group, organization, or idea, presenting its interests, image, or opinions in a given context. The infinitive is reprezentować, and the form represents ongoing or habitual representation in the present.

Etymology and usage context: The verb reprezentować is a borrowing from Latin repraesentare, likely via French représenter or German repräsentieren. In Polish, it is an imperfective verb, so the present tense describes an ongoing action. It is commonly used in politics, business, sports, law, culture, and everyday situations where someone speaks or acts for others.

Grammatical notes: Reprezentuje follows standard Polish conjugation patterns for -ować verbs. Present tense forms are: ja reprezentuję, ty reprezentujesz, on/ona reprezentuje, my reprezentujemy, wy reprezentujecie, oni reprezentują. The verb can take direct objects in the accusative (e.g., reprezentuje firmę) and is often connected with phrases like reprezentować interesy (to represent the interests of).

Examples:

- On reprezentuje firmę na konferencji.

- Ona reprezentuje narodowy zespół podczas turnieju.

- Ta decyzja reprezentuje interesy miasta.
