przerobi

Przerobi is a Polish verb meaning to modify, rework, or repurpose something, typically to change its function, form, or performance. It is used across contexts such as home renovation, furniture restoration, automotive tuning, electronics, photography, and software editing. The action can range from careful refurbishment to more drastic alterations, sometimes aimed at adapting an object to a new purpose or improving its characteristics.

Etymology: the word is derived from the stem robić (‘to do’) with a prefixed element przer-, producing przerobić, the infinitive form; the related noun przeróbka denotes a modification, alteration, or retrofit.

Usage: przerobić meble to refurbish or rework furniture; przerobić samochód to modify a car; przerobić mieszkanie to convert a space for a different use; przerobić oprogramowanie to modify software; przerobić nagranie to edit video or audio, often for stylistic or quality improvements.

Legal and ethical aspects: modifications may be legal or illegal depending on the jurisdiction and purpose; illegal modifications include tampering with vehicle odometers (przerobienie licznika) or circumventing safety and regulatory standards.
