przystpili

Przystąpili is the past tense form of the Polish verb przystąpić, used for a masculine plural subject. It means that a group of people began, joined, or undertook a particular action or activity in the past. The nuance can cover joining an organization, starting a procedure, or taking part in an event or process, depending on the context.

The standard spelling in Polish uses diacritics: przystąpili. The form przystpili (without the diacritic on the a) is an ASCII variant that may appear in older texts, plain-text environments, or systems lacking proper diacritic support. In formal or edited texts, the diacritic form is preferred.

Usage and examples:

- Przystąpili do negocjacji. (They began negotiations.)

- Przystąpili do egzaminu. (They took the exam.)

- Po wielu latach przystąpili do realizacji projektu. (After many years they commenced the project’s implementation.)

Grammatical note:

Przystąpili is a perfective, aspect-driven form indicating a completed action from the perspective of the past. It agrees with masculine plural subjects; other subject genders and numbers have corresponding forms (for example, przystąpiły for feminine plural, przystąpił for masculine singular).

Przystąpić is the infinitive verb meaning “to undertake, to join, to begin,” and is commonly used with prepositional phrases such as do (to) or dołączając (joining).
