podnosisz

Podnosisz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Polish imperfective verb podnosić, which means to lift or raise something, and can also be used in figurative senses such as raising an issue or a point. As a verb form, podnosisz does not represent a separate lexical entry but a grammatical form used when addressing someone directly in the present tense.

Etymology and meaning: The verb podnosić is built from the prefix pod- (often conveying upward or supplementary action) and the root nosić (to carry). It covers physical lifting, raising of objects or body parts, and more abstract meanings like bringing up or raising topics, questions, or concerns. The related perfective form podnieść denotes a completed action of lifting or raising and is used when the emphasis is on the result or a single act.

Conjugation and usage: Podnosić is imperfective, so podnosisz describes ongoing or repeated action. Present tense forms include: ja podnoszę, ty podnosisz, on/ona/ono podnosi, my podnosimy, wy podnosicie, oni/one podnoszą. The imperfective aspect contrasts with the perfective podnieść, whose present tense equivalents are not identical (e.g., ja podniosę, ty podniesiesz). Imperative forms are podnieś (singular) and podnieście (plural). Common compounds and derivatives include podnośnik (lifting device) and podnoszenie (lifting, the act or process of raising).

Examples: You lift a weight: Podnosisz ciężar na sztandze. You raise your hand: Podnosisz rękę, aby zadać pytanie. You raise an issue: Podnosisz kwestię podczas spotkania. These usages illustrate both literal lifting and figurative raising of topics or concerns.
