pozyskuje

Pozyskuje is the third-person singular present tense form of the Polish imperfective verb pozyskiwać, meaning to acquire, obtain, or procure. It denotes an ongoing or habitual action of gaining something, rather than a completed acquisition.

The related perfective form is pozyskać, which expresses a completed acquisition or a future-oriented act when used in present-tense constructions. Together with its other forms (pozyskuję, pozyskujesz, pozyskujemy, pozyskują), pozyskiwać provides the imperfective aspect, emphasizing the process rather than the result. The noun form pozyskiwanie refers to the act of acquiring or the process itself.

In usage, pozyskuje appears frequently in business, administration, journalism, and marketing to describe active efforts to attract or secure resources, partners, or information. Examples include pozyskuje fundusze (it/they acquire funds), pozyskuje nowych klientów (he/she/it acquires new customers), and pozyskuje dane (it collects/obtains data). The verb can describe acquiring tangible assets, financial resources, or non-material gains such as expertise or support, depending on context.

Etymologically, the prefix po- combined with the root związ/ zysk (gain) conveys the sense of bringing something to one’s use or possession. Pozyskuje is thus a standard term in Polish for describing proactive efforts to obtain something through initiative, negotiation, or search. It is not a proper noun and does not denote a specific entity; its meaning is determined by the object of acquisition in each sentence.
