uzyskao

Uzyskao is not a standard Polish form in contemporary orthography. It is commonly regarded as a nonstandard or typographical variant of the past tense of the verb uzyskać, which means to obtain, to gain, or to secure. In standard Polish, the masculine past tense form is uzyskał (with łów as the masculine ending), the feminine form is uzyskała, the neuter form uzyskało, and the plural forms are uzyskali or uzyskały, depending on number and gender. When the text requires a past-tense form for a male subject, uzyskał is used.

Etymology and meaning. The verb uzyskać is a perfective verb derived from the root zysk, meaning gain or profit, with the prefix u- that conveys attainment or completion. The combination expresses obtaining something as a result of effort or authorization. Uzyskać is commonly contrasted with otrzymać (to receive, often implying a passive result) and zdobyć (to acquire or win, with a more active or competitive nuance).

Usage. Uzyskać is frequent in formal or bureaucratic contexts, such as documents, reports, and official announcements. Typical collocations include uzyskać zgodę (to obtain consent), uzyskać dofinansowanie (to obtain funding), uzyskać certyfikat (to obtain a certificate). The imperfective counterpart is uzyskiwać, used for ongoing or repeated obtaining processes, while uzyskać denotes a completed attainment.

Related forms. Related verbs include zdobyć (to gain, to acquire), otrzymać (to receive), and mieć możliwość uzyskania (to have the possibility to obtain). The word uzyskao itself is not standard; correct forms depend on number and gender.
