Skanujesz

Skanujesz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb skanować. It translates as “you scan” or “you are scanning” in English and is used to describe the ongoing action of digitizing or reading data with a scanner. The verb is part of a broader family in Polish that includes skanować (to scan) and its perfective counterpart zeskanować (to scan once, to complete scanning).

Etymology and meaning: Skanować is a borrowing from English “to scan,” brought into Polish with the development of digital technologies. In standard Polish, the present tense forms follow regular patterns for -ować verbs: ja skanuję, ty skanujesz, on skanuje, my skanujemy, wy skanujecie, oni skanują. The form skanujesz specifically marks the second person singular.

Usage: The form is common in IT, office work, and everyday contexts where scanning is involved. It can refer to using a flatbed or sheet-fed scanner, a smartphone acting as a scanner, or scanning barcodes and QR codes with a reader. The related imperfective verb skanować emphasizes the ongoing process, while the perfective zeskanować stresses the completion of the action.

Examples:

- Czy skanujesz ten dokument do systemu?

- Musisz zeskanować kod kreskowy przy kasie.

- Skanuję faktury i zapisuję je w cyfrowym archiwum.
