poprawy

Poprawy is the plural form of the Polish noun poprawa, and it denotes changes intended to improve or repair something. The term is commonly used to describe edits, corrections, or amendments as well as repairs or improvements to objects, systems, or processes.

In editing and publishing, poprawy refer to revisions or corrigenda proposed to a text. They may involve fixing errors, clarifying phrasing, or updating information, and are often incorporated into revised editions or digital versions. In quality control and maintenance contexts, poprawy describe corrective actions taken to restore functionality or enhance performance of equipment, software, or workflows.

In a legal or political setting, poprawy denotes amendments to laws, regulations, or proposed bills. When legislatures discuss a draft act, they distinguish between the main text and the poprawy that modify or add provisions.

Etymology and usage notes: poprawa comes from the verb poprawić, meaning to fix or improve. The plural form improves or repairs is used across formal and informal registers, depending on the context. The term is flexible and can refer to a singular concept of improvement in a broad sense or to multiple discrete changes in a specific domain.
