Wyznaczasz

Wyznaczasz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Polish imperfective verb wyznaczać. The verb wyznaczać means to designate, appoint, assign, or to determine and mark out something. It is transitive and commonly used with a direct object such as a person, a date, a boundary, or a task. The present tense forms are: wyznaczam, wyznaczasz, wyznacza, wyznaczamy, wyznaczacie, wyznaczają.

Common uses include assigning responsibilities, setting dates or deadlines, and marking out limits or areas. For example, you can say: Wyznaczasz osobę odpowiedzialną za projekt. (You are designating the person responsible for the project.) Wyznaczasz termin zakończenia prac. (You are setting the deadline for the work.) Wyznaczasz granice działki. (You are marking the boundaries of the plot.) The verb appears in formal and informal contexts, depending on the register of speech.

Grammatical notes: wyznaczać is imperfective, describing ongoing or repeated actions. Its perfective counterpart is wyznaczyć, used for completed actions and, in the present tense, typically signaling future meaning (e.g., Wyznaczysz termin). Related forms include wyznaczany (being designated), wyznaczony (designated, passive participle), and the noun wyznaczanie (the act of designating). Etymology traces to znaczyć meaning “to signify,” with the prefix wy- indicating completion or outward action in certain uses.
