wygrywasz

Wygrywasz is the second-person singular present-tense form of the Polish imperfective verb wygrywać, meaning to win or to come out ahead in a competition or game. It denotes a current or habitual winning outcome and is used in statements about the present or ongoing results, as well as in questions about who is winning.

Morphology and related forms: wygrywasz is formed from the stem wygryw- with the present-tense ending for the second person singular. The verb wygrywać has other present-tense forms such as ja wygrywam, on wygrywa, my wygrywamy, wy wygrywacie, oni wygrywają. As an imperfective verb, wygrywać emphasizes an ongoing or repeated action, in contrast to its perfective counterpart wygrać, which is used to express a completed win (often in the future or past, depending on context).

Usage and examples: In everyday speech, you might hear or say wygrywasz in contexts like "Wygrywasz z nim?" meaning "Are you beating him?" or "Wygrywasz często," meaning "You win often." In sports commentary or casual conversation, the phrase can convey current success or a trend of winning rather than a single isolated victory. The form is also used in motivational or evaluative statements, for example, "Dajesz radę—you wygrywasz."

Etymology and nuance: The verb wygrywać is formed with the prefix wy- attached to a root related to competition and games, signaling the act of overcoming an opponent to win. The term wygrywasz therefore represents a standard grammatical form indicating that the person addressed is the one winning at the moment or habitually.
