przypisuje

Przypisuje is a Polish verb form that serves as the third-person singular present indicative of the imperfective verb przypisywać. The basic sense of przypisywać is to attribute, assign, or ascribe something to someone or something. The related noun przypis (footnote) reflects the same root, originally tied to writing a note beside the text; the extension to attribution is common in modern usage.

Etymology and scope: The verb derives from prefixation with przy- (near, beside) and the verb pisać (to write), with the sense expanding from writing a note beside the text to attributing a statement, fact, or quality to a source, a person, or an entity. In everyday language, przypisywać is used for blame, credit, responsibility, or characteristics, and it can appear in both formal and informal contexts.

Usage and syntax: Przypisuje is used to describe the act of attributing or assigning. It commonly takes a person in the dative (komuś) and the thing attributed in the accusative (co). Examples: „Raport przypisuje odpowiedzialność zespołowi.” (The report attributes responsibility to the team.) „Polityk przypisuje sobie zasługi.” (The politician attributes the merits to himself.) The perfective counterparts are przypisać (used for a completed attribution) and form the basis for other tenses and aspects.

Conjugation and related forms: As an imperfective verb, przypisywać forms include ja przypisuję, ty przypisujesz, on przypisuje, my przypisujemy, wy przypisujecie, oni przypisują. The perfective form is przypisać, with past and future forms differing accordingly. Related terms include przypis (a marginal note) and terminology related to attribution in legal, academic, or journalistic contexts.
