Restartuje

Restartuje is a Polish verb form meaning "he/she/it restarts." It is the third-person singular present tense of the imperfective verb restartować, which is borrowed from the English word "restart." The infinitive can be extended with the inchoative prefix to form zrestartować, a perfective variant meaning “to restart (something) once,” with the present tense form zrestartuje used to indicate a future restart.

In Polish, restartować is an imperfective verb, used for ongoing or habitual restarting actions. Its perfective counterpart, zrestartować, focuses on a single, completed restart. The present tense of the imperfective form (restartuje) describes an ongoing or regular action, while the present tense of the perfective form (zrestartuje) typically expresses a future, single instance of restarting.

Usage and context: restartuje is common in information technology, hardware and software discussions, and everyday language when referring to rebooting devices or processes. It can be transitive (restartuje komputer, restartuje usługę) or reflexive (komputer restartuje się). Although the term originates from English, it has become standard in Polish technical vocabulary alongside native expressions like uruchomić or ponownie uruchomić. In formal writing, speakers may prefer more precise verbs depending on aspect and context, but restartuje remains widely understood in informal and professional discourse.
