Zbudowali

Zbudowali is a Polish verb form meaning they built. It is the third person plural past tense form of the perfective verb zbudować, which denotes the completion of the action of building or constructing. The prefix z- indicates a completed result, distinguishing the perfective aspect from the imperfective counterpart budować (to build), which describes ongoing or repetitive action.

Morphology and usage

Zbudowali is used when the subject is masculine or a mixed-gender group and the action is viewed as completed. In feminine plural, the corresponding form is zbudowały, while singular forms include zbudowałem, zbudowała, or zbudowałem depending on person and gender. The word appears in narrative or descriptive contexts to report that a building project reached completion by a group.

Related forms and notes

The base verb is zbudować, with related terms including zbudować (to have built), wybudować (to construct a building or to raise), and zbudowany (built, the past participle). The contrast with budować (to build, imperfective) is a common point of reference when discussing Polish verb aspect and complementation.
