porusza

Porusza is the third-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb poruszać, meaning to move or to stir. In everyday language it can describe physical movement, such as moving an object or body parts, as well as figurative movement, including raising a topic, affecting emotions, or shifting opinions.

Poruszać is derived from the stem rusz- with the prefix po-, creating an imperfective, transitive verb. Its perfective counterpart is poruszyć, which denotes a completed action of moving, stirring, or touching upon something. The form porusza, specifically, indicates that the subject is currently performing the action in the present moment.

Conjugation in the present tense (examples for each pronoun): ja poruszam, ty poruszasz, on/ona/ono porusza, my poruszamy, wy poruszacie, oni poruszają. The word porusza is used with both literal and figurative meanings, and its exact nuance depends on the context.

Usage notes: physically, poruszać can mean to move something or to cause movement, while metaphorically it often means to raise or discuss a topic, or to evoke an emotion or reaction. Common collocations include poruszać temat (to raise a topic), poruszać serce (to move the heart), and poruszać opinię (to influence opinion). In journalism and literature, porusza frequently appears to describe actions by people or events that alter a situation.
