Wspierasz

Wspierasz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb wspierać, meaning to support or back someone or something. The form is used to indicate that the addressed person is currently providing support, whether moral, practical, financial, or political. Wspierać is an imperfective verb, so wspierasz can describe ongoing or repeated acts of backing rather than a completed action.

Grammatical notes: wspierasz is transitive and typically takes a direct object in the accusative to indicate what is being supported (for example, wspierasz rodzinę – you support your family). The verb can be complemented by phrases that specify the type of support, such as through donations, advocacy, or help. Related forms include wspieram (I support) and wspiera (he/she supports); in the past and future tenses other endings are used (e.g., wspierałeś, będziesz wspierać).

Usage and nuances: the term covers both tangible and intangible backing, from offering help to endorsing a project or cause. Context determines whether the support is personal, financial, moral, or symbolic. Wspierasz appears frequently in everyday conversation, media reporting, and political or charitable discourse.

Examples: "Wspierasz mnie w tych decyzjach?" (Are you supporting me in these decisions?) "Wspierasz ten projekt finansowo." (You back this project financially.) "Wspierasz lokalne firmy?" (Do you support local businesses?)

Synonyms include wspierać, popierać, pomagać, and asystować; antonymous phrases would be nie wspierasz or nie wspierać.
