krzywdzisz

Krzywdzisz is the second-person singular present indicative form of the Polish verb krzywdzić, meaning "you harm" or "you wrong." It denotes an ongoing or habitual action and belongs to the imperfective aspect; the perfective counterpart is skrzywdzić ("to harm" with a completed action). As a transitive verb, krzywdzić typically takes a direct object denoting a person or group who suffers harm, injury, or injustice.

The form is used in everyday speech, moral judgments, legal descriptions, and literary contexts to address or describe someone causing damage, injury, or unfair treatment. For example: Nie krzywdzisz nikogo — "You are not harming anyone." Past and other related forms include krzywdziłem/krzywdziłam (I harmed, imperfective past), krzywdzisz? (do you harm?), and krzywdzony (harmed, passive participle). The imperative singular is nie krzywdź (do not harm) when negated, and krzywdź is rarely used affirmatively in modern colloquial speech.

Etymologically the verb is related to the noun krzywda ("harm, wrong") and derives from Slavic roots expressing injury or injustice. Synonyms in Polish include skrzywdzać (often interchangeable) and ranić (to wound), while antonyms include chronić (to protect) and pomagać (to help).
