przebiega

Przebiega is a Polish verb form derived from przebiegać. The base verb means to run through, to pass along, or to traverse, and it can describe both physical movement and figurative processes. The prefix prze- adds a sense of crossing or going across, while biegać means to run.

In usage, przebiega is most commonly the third-person singular present tense form (on/ona/ono przebiega), indicating that something runs through or along something else. For example, Droga przebiega przez miasto means The road runs through the city. Ścieżka przebiega wzdłuż jeziora means The path runs along the lake. The verb can also describe a sequence or progression, as in Przebiega kilka etapów w projekcie, “There are several stages in the project.”

The expression przebiega in more figurative contexts includes mental or temporal phenomena. A typical phrase is Przebiegło mi to przez myśl, meaning “That occurred to me” or “That ran through my mind,” with the past form przebiegło. A related noun is przebieg, which means the course, progress, or run of something, such as the course of a river or the progression of an event. The perfective counterpart is przebiec, used when the action is completed in a single sense, such as Przebiec trasę w jedną godzinę (“to run a course in one hour”).

Przebiega is a common, neutral term in Polish for describing moving along a route or the progression of events, and it appears in both literal and figurative contexts.
