Rozpisywa

Rozpisywa is typically encountered as a nonstandard or abbreviated form of the Polish verb rozpisywać, which means to write out in detail, to spell out, to itemize, or to lay out a schedule or plan. The expression covers several related senses, from creating a step-by-step outline to listing elements of a document or program.

The standard infinitive is rozpisywać, derived from the prefix roz- and the verb pisać (to write). The term is imperfective, indicating ongoing, repeated, or habitual action. In its perfective counterpart, written as rozpisac (with appropriate diacritics in full Polish spelling), the action is completed, for example in forms such as rozpiszę or rozpisze for future, respectively.

Usage of rozpisywać appears in education, project management, legal drafting, and journalism, where someone is asked to detail a plan, inventory items, or present a timetable. Common contexts include outlining a presentation, enumerating steps in a procedure, or distributing tasks across a schedule. Synonyms and closely related verbs include wypisać, wyliczyć, zestawić, and ułożyć, each with nuances in emphasis on listing, calculating, compiling, or arranging.

Examples in use: “Nauczyciel poprosił uczniów, aby rozpisali plan prezentacji.” “W dokumencie rozpisano harmonogram projektowy.” The form and tense depend on aspect: rozpisywać for ongoing detail and rozpisac (with future forms) for completed outlining.
