rozszerza

Rozszerza is a Polish verb form that expresses the action of widening, broadening, or extending something. It is the third-person singular present indicative form of the imperfective verb rozszerzać, and it can also appear in the reflexive form rozszerzać się, meaning to spread or expand itself. The word is used across many domains, including everyday language, business, law, and technology.

Etymology and meaning: Rozszerzać comes from the prefix roz- (indicating extension or expansion) combined with the root szer- from szeroki, meaning wide. As a result, rozszerzać and its form rozszerza convey the idea of making something wider, increasing its scope, or adding new elements.

Usage: The verb is transitive, typically followed by a direct object or a phrase indicating what is being expanded. Examples include: Firma rozszerza ofertę o nowe produkty (The company expands its offering with new products); Ustawa rozszerza ochronę danych osobowych (The act extends the protection of personal data); Aplikacja rozszerza funkcjonalność o synchronizację z chmurą. In a reflexive sense, rozszerza się can describe something that spreads or grows, as in rynek rozszerza się (the market is expanding).

Conjugation note: In present tense, the forms are ja rozszerzam, ty rozszerzasz, on rozszerza, my rozszerzamy, wy rozszerzacie, oni rozszerzają. Rozszerza specifically refers to the third-person singular (he/she/it expands).

Terminology and nuances: Rozszerzać is often used interchangeably with poszerzać, though poszerzać is more common in everyday language, while rozszerzać can carry a more formal or technical nuance when discussing scope, rights, or capabilities.
