Uzasadnia

Uzasadnia is a Polish verb form meaning "he/she/it justifies." It is the third-person singular present tense of the imperfective verb uzasadniać, whose infinitive translates as "to justify" or "to provide justification." The perfective counterpart is uzasadnić, which describes the act of providing justification as a completed action. The noun uzasadnienie means "justification" or "reasoning" and is commonly used for formal explanations, such as a court’s written justification of a decision.

In use, uzasadnia appears in everyday and formal contexts to indicate that reasons are being given or have been given. Examples include sentences like "On uzasadnia swoje stanowisko" (He justifies his position) or "Sąd uzasadnił wyrok" (The court justified the verdict), where the latter employs the perfective form. In legal, administrative, and academic writing, uzasadnienie is a standard term for the required or provided justification behind a claim, decision, or opinion.

Etymology and related forms: uzasadniać is built from the stem uzasad- with the standard imperfective suffix -niać. Related forms include uzasadnić (perfective) and uzasadnienie (the noun referring to the justification). The distinction between imperfective and perfective usage is important in Polish, as it affects aspect and temporal framing of the justification being described.
