rozwiewa

Rozwiewa is the third person singular present tense form of the Polish imperfective verb rozwiewać (to disperse, to blow away). The verb describes the action of scattering or removing something by wind or movement, most often used with fog, smoke, or clouds, but also in figurative contexts to dispel doubts or rumors.

Etymology and meaning: The word comes from the prefix roz- combined with wiać (to blow). Literally, rozwiewać conveys the idea of blowing something apart or scattering it through motion.

Usage: Rozwiewa is transitive and takes a direct object in the accusative, such as mgłę, dym, chmury. Examples: Słońce rozwiewa mgłę; Wiatr rozwiewa płatki śniegu; Dyskusja rozwiewa wątpliwości.

Conjugation and aspect: It is an imperfective verb; present tense forms include rozwiewam, rozwiewasz, rozwiewa, rozwiewamy, rozwiewacie, rozwiewają. The perfective counterpart is rozwiać (to disperse completely), whose past forms include rozwiał, rozwiała, rozwiało, etc. In use, rozwiewa often emphasizes ongoing action or general ability to disperse rather than a completed result.
