Zobowizuje

Zobowizuje is a Polish verb form that is typically understood as a nonstandard or dialectal variant of the standard present tense form zobowiązuje (he/she obligates). The underlying verbs are zobowiązywać (imperfective) and zobowiązać (perfective), both meaning to oblige, commit, or bind someone to an obligation.

Etymology and morphology: The root zobowiąz- comes from ob- plus wewnętrzny stem obowią-, connected with the noun obowiązek (obligation) and the noun zobowiązanie (commitment). The regular present tense suffix -uje yields forms such as zobowiązuje in standard Polish. When diacritics are omitted or simplified, zobowiązuje can render as zobowizuje or zobowizuje, depending on orthographic conventions. The form zobowizuje thus reflects a phonetic or typographic variant rather than a separate lexeme with a distinct meaning.

Usage and style: In normative Polish, the standard spelling zobowiązuje is preferred in formal writing. The nonstandard variant zobowizuje may appear in informal texts, older literature, or contexts where diacritics are dropped or keyboard limitations exist. Readers should treat zobowizuje as a variant spelling that conveys the same lexical meaning as zobowiązuje: to obligate, to commit someone to an obligation. As with related forms, this verb is commonly used in legal, administrative, and everyday contexts to indicate binding commitments or duties.

Related forms: zobowiązywać, zobowiązać (infinitives); zobowiązuje, zobowiązywał(-a), zobowiążę (selected tense forms); related nouns include obowiązek (obligation) and zobowiązanie (commitment). See also the broader concept of zobowiązywanie and language notes on Polish orthography.
