odwróci

Odwróci is the third-person singular form of the Polish perfective verb odwrócić, meaning “he/she/it will reverse,” “will turn around,” or “will invert.” It is used to describe a future action in which something is changed to the opposite state, such as reversing a decision, turning something over, or inverting a sequence or orientation.

Odwrócić is formed from the prefix od- plus the root wrócić (to turn or to return). The imperfective counterpart is odwracać, which describes ongoing or repeated reversing actions. In this sense, odwrócać denotes the activity in progress, while odwrócić emphasizes a completed or definite reversal.

In standard usage, odwróci agrees with a third-person subject and expresses a forthcoming reversal or turning of something. Past forms include odwrócił (masculine), odwróciła (feminine), and odwróciło (neuter). Examples: “Rząd odwróci decyzję” (The government will reverse the decision); “odwrócić kartę” (to flip/turn over a card); “odwrócić uwagę” (to turn attention away or to divert attention). The sense can be literal (a physical turning) or figurative (policy changes, changes of direction, reversal of plans).
