opisuje

Opisuje is the third-person singular present-tense form of the Polish verb opisywać, which means to describe. It denotes describing in the present or describing in a general, ongoing sense. As an imperfective verb, opisywać emphasizes the process of describing rather than its completion. The corresponding infinitive is opisywać, with the perfective counterpart opisać used for one-off descriptions.

Grammatical details: opisuje is a present-tense form used with a subject in the third person (he, she, it). The verb opisywać belongs to the first conjugation in Polish and is used with direct objects in the accusative, typically describing people, objects, events, or situations. The imperfective aspect allows statements about ongoing or habitual description, such as journalism, literature, or everyday narration.

Usage notes: opisuje commonly appears in sentences like "On opisuje sytuację" (He describes the situation) or "Autor opisuje postać w powieści" (The author describes a character in the novel). It can be followed by clauses introduced by jak or co to describe what is being described, e.g., "opisuje, jak to wygląda" (describes what it looks like).

See also: opisywać, opis, opisanie. The form opisuje is distinct from the perfective forms of describing, which would use opisać and its future forms (opisze, opiszę, etc.). Understanding opisuje helps in parsing present-tense narrative and descriptive sentences in Polish.
