doliczyli

Doliczyli is a Polish verb form—the past tense, third-person plural, of the transitive verb doliczyć. It denotes that a group of people added to an existing total, included additional items in a calculation, or charged extra, and that the action was completed. The verb doliczyć is perfective, with the imperfective counterpart doliczać used for ongoing or repeated adding, whose past tense would be doliczali.

The prefix do- in doliczyć signals addition toward a target or reaching a higher amount. Doliczyć is commonly used in contexts such as finance, administration, or record-keeping, where a quantity or charge is added after an initial calculation. For example, doliczono trzy bilety do grupy (they added three tickets to the group) or doliczyli 5 zł do rachunku (they added 5 zł to the bill). It can also appear in contexts such as work experience or tenure, where years or units are added to a total, for instance doliczono dwa lata do stażu (two years were added to the tenure).

Usage notes: doliczyć implies that the added amount was not part of the original total and represents an adjustment or correction. The form doliczyl(i/e) is used with different subjects and numbers depending on the sentence, while other forms of the same verb carry related but distinct nuances (doliczali for imperfective past, doliczanie for the process).

In summary, doliczyć and its past tense doliczyli describe the act of adding to a total or including extra items, with doliczyli specifically referring to a completed action by a plural subject.
