sprowadza

Sprowadza is the third-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb sprowadzać. The verb has several related meanings centered on bringing something or someone toward a place, condition, or state. In literal use, it can mean to bring someone or something to a location (for example, to fetch or to bring goods into a place). In economic and legal contexts, it commonly means to import goods or to bring products into a country. In figurative usage, sprowadzać can denote causing a change of state, such as leading someone to a conclusion or bringing about a situation, or, with a more negative nuance, to lead someone astray.

Etymology and form. Sprowadzać is formed from the prefix s- attached to prowadzać (to lead). The prefix adds a sense of bringing inward, bringing from outside to inside, or moving toward a target state. The pair sprowadzać (imperfective) and sprowadzić (perfective) covers ongoing or repeated action versus a single completed act. Present tense forms include sprowadza (he/she/it brings in) and sprowadzają (they bring in). Nouns related to the act include sprowadzenie, meaning the act of bringing in or importation.

Usage and context. The verb appears across everyday speech, journalism, economics, and law. Common collocations include sprowadzać towary do kraju (to import goods into a country) and sprowadzać ludzi/kogoś do domu (to bring someone home). Figurative uses include phrases like sprowadzać na manowce (to lead astray) or sprowadzać na dobrą drogę (to bring back to the right track). Understanding depends on context, as the sense shifts between literal bringing, economic import, and figurative influence.
