przedstawie

Przedstawie is the first-person singular future form of the Polish verb przedstawić, which means to present or introduce. The standard spelling in Polish is przedstawię; przedstawie is a common ASCII rendering or a misspelling. This form is used when the speaker intends to present something or someone in the future.

Etymology and meaning: przedstawić is built from the prefix przed- (before, in front) and the verb stawić (to place). The combination conveys the sense of placing information or a person before an audience or other participants. As a perfective verb, przedstawić emphasizes the completion of the act of presenting in the future. Its imperfective counterpart is przedstawiać, which describes presenting in general or repeatedly.

Grammatical notes: As a finite verb, przedstawie agrees with the subject in person and number and appears in contexts where the action is planned or promised. In practice, speakers distinguish between perfective forms (I will present) and imperfective forms (I am presenting / I present). The forms differ from other future constructions and are commonly used in formal or written Polish, such as official presentations, reports, or introductions.

Usage examples:

- Jutro przedstawię projekt zarządowi. (Tomorrow I will present the project to the management.)

- Chciałbym przedstawić Państwu nowego pracownika. (I would like to introduce our new employee to you.)

- W raportach często przedstawię wyniki badań. (In reports I often present the results of the studies.)

Related terms: synonyms include zaprezentować (to present, especially in a display or performance context) and zapowiedzieć (to announce). The imperfective equivalent is przedstawiać, used for ongoing or repeated presenting.
