odnotowuje

Odnotowuje is a Polish verb form that appears in formal and technical language. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the imperfective verb odnotowywać, which means to note down, to record, or to document observations, measurements, or events. The related perfective counterpart is odnotować, whose third-person singular present form is odnotuje, and whose past forms include odnotował/odnotowała.

Etymology and forms: The verb is built from the root nota, meaning note, with the prefix od- indicating a sense of recording or noting. As an imperfective verb, odnotowywać describes ongoing or repeated noting, while the perfective odnotować refers to the act of noting as a completed action. Other related forms include odnotowuję (I note down), odnotowujesz (you note down), odnotowują (they note down).

Usage: Odnotowuje is used in scientific, administrative, journalistic, and formal reporting contexts to indicate that information has been recorded or captured. It often appears in data logs, research reports, and official records. It can be contrasted with notować (to note) for more general or routine note-taking, or with zanotować (to jot down) for a more concise, momentary entry.

Examples:

- Naukowiec odnotowuje w dzienniku laboratoryjnym wszystkie wyniki pomiarów. (The scientist records all measurement results in the laboratory log.)

- W raporcie odnotowano wzrost cen. (The report notes a price increase.)

- Podczas obserwacji odnotowywano trend spadkowy. (During the observation, a downward trend was recorded.)
