przerywacie

Przerywacie is a Polish grammatical form: the second person plural present tense of the verb przerywać, meaning to interrupt or to break off. It is used when addressing multiple people who interrupt someone or something, such as a speaker or a process. The form denotes an ongoing or habitual action and is part of the imperfective aspect; its perfective counterpart is przerwać, which signals a single, completed interruption.

Usage in Polish covers a range of contexts, from interrupting a spoken statement to cutting off a broadcast or a meeting. Examples of the sense include interrupting someone who is speaking or stopping a process in progress. In everyday speech, a sentence like Wy przerywacie mi, gdy mówię, illustrates why the form is appropriate when several people interrupt the speaker.

Morphology and related forms: przerywacie is built from the root przeryw- with typical present-tense endings for the 2nd person plural. Other present-tense forms of przerywać include przerywam (I interrupt) and przerywasz (you interrupt, singular). The 3rd person plural is przerywają. Polish also provides the imperfective–perfective pair with przerwać as the perfective counterpart, used for a single, definitive interruption. Related participles include przerywający (interrupting) and przerywany (being interrupted).

Notes on nuance: przerywać describes the act of interrupting in a general or repeated sense, often emphasizing the process rather than a one-time act. In contrast, przerwać focuses on the moment of interruption as a completed action. The form przerywacie therefore typically appears in neutral or descriptive contexts addressing a group, rather than in imperative commands.
