uzyskali

Uzyskali is a Polish verb form meaning "they obtained" or "they have obtained" and is the masculine personal past tense of the verb uzyskać (to obtain, to acquire). In Polish, past-tense forms agree with the gender and number of the subject; uzyskali is used for masculine personal plural subjects (for example, oni uzyskali dostęp). The feminine plural form is uzyskały, while singular forms include uzyskałem/uzyskałam/uzyskało.

In usage, uzyskać denotes the completion of obtaining something, so uzyskali indicates that the group completed the action in the past. It appears in formal writing, journalism, and official reports to describe outcomes such as obtaining permission, information, funding, or other results. The imperfective counterpart is uzyskiwać, which describes ongoing or repeated obtaining.

Etymology and related forms: uzyskać is derived from the root zysk- (gain) with a prefix that yields the sense of attaining possession. Related nouns include uzysk (gain, yield) and uzyskanie (the act of obtaining). The adjective uzyskany (obtained) is used to describe something that has been acquired.

Example: Oni uzyskali zgodę na projekt. This use illustrates reporting a completed acquisition or permission by a plural masculine subject.
