Wygasi

Wygasi is a Polish verb form meaning "extinguishes" or "turns off." It is the third-person singular present tense of the perfective verb wygasić, which denotes bringing an action to completion by extinguishing or dousing out something. The term can be used literally to describe extinguishing a fire or turning off a light, as well as metaphorically to suppress or end something such as hopes or enthusiasm.

Etymology and related forms: The word is built from the root gaś- (to extinguish) with the prefix wy- that marks completion. The related imperfective counterpart is gaśić or wygaszać, which describe ongoing or repeated extinguishing actions. The noun wygaszenie denotes the act or result of extinguishing or dimming.

Usage: In everyday Polish, wygasi is used in the present tense with a third-person subject. Example: "On wygasi światło." Past forms exist as wygasił (masculine singular), wygasiła (feminine singular), and wygasili (masculine plural), reflecting completed extinguishing actions. The term can also appear in safety instructions or narrative descriptions of events where lights or fires are being put out.
