sprawdza

Sprawdza is the third-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb sprawdzać, which means to check, verify, or examine. It is an imperfective verb used for ongoing, habitual, or non-completed actions of checking.

In use, sprawdzać expresses activities such as inspecting documents, testing systems, or confirming information. The perfective counterpart is sprawdzić, which emphasizes the completion of the checking action. The choice between imperfective and perfective affects aspect and temporal focus rather than tense alone; sprawdza describes ongoing or repeated checks, while sprawdzić would refer to a completed check.

Typical constructions include sprawdza with a direct object, as in sprawdza listę or sprawdza dane, and a clause beginning with czy to indicate verification of a condition, for example sprawdza, czy wszystko jest w porządku. The phrase sprawdza się is common and means that something proves useful or effective, as in Ten plan sprawdza się w praktyce.

Synonyms and related terms include weryfikować (more formal, verify), testować (test), badać (examine), and oceniać (assess). Sprawdza can appear in various contexts, from everyday administrative tasks to technical or quality-control settings.

On sprawdza dokumenty przed wysłaniem.
