podzieli

Podzieli is a finite verb form in Polish. It is the third-person singular future tense of the perfective verb podzielić, meaning to divide, apportion, or distribute. In sentences, podzieli corresponds to “he will divide,” “she will divide,” or “it will divide,” depending on the subject.

Etymology and form. Podzielić is derived from the root dziel- (to divide) with the prefix po-, which conveys distribution into parts or completion of the action. As a perfective verb, podzielić expresses a single, completed action viewed from the future, in contrast to the imperfective dzielić, which denotes ongoing or repeated division.

Usage notes. Podzieli is used when referring to a planned or expected division or allocation. Because it is a future form of a perfective verb, it typically implies that the division will be carried out as a discrete, completed act. It is commonly found in formal or neutral prose, reports, and planning contexts.
