Umawia

Umawia is a Polish verb form that appears in the present tense as the third-person singular of the imperfective verb umawiać. The core meaning is to arrange or schedule something, typically a meeting, appointment, or other event. The related perfective form is umówić, which emphasizes that the arrangement has been completed. In addition, the reflexive variant umówić się is widely used to indicate arranging to meet someone, as in forming an explicit plan to meet.

Grammatical notes: umawiać is imperfective, used for ongoing or repeated arrangements, while umówić is the corresponding perfective form for a single, completed arrangement. The present tense forms include ja umawiam, ty umawiasz, on/ona umawia, my umawiamy, wy umawiacie, oni umawiają. The reflexive construction umówić się z kimś means to arrange to meet with someone, often implying a scheduled date or appointment.

Usage and context: The verb is common in everyday Polish, especially in business and social planning. It can govern direct objects when referring to arranging events (spots, meetings, dates) and often appears with time expressions such as na jutro (for tomorrow) or w najbliższy tydzień. Examples include: On umawia się z klientem na jutrzejsze spotkanie. Firma umawia terminy z klientami. These sentences illustrate arranging future meetings rather than describing a completed arrangement.
