wymierzy

Wymierzy is a Polish verb form, specifically the third-person singular future tense of the perfective verb wymierzyć. The meaning depends on the object that follows, typically denoting a completed action that involves assessing a quantity or delivering a result.

Etymology and aspect

Wymierzyć is built from the root mierzyć, meaning “to measure,” with the prefix wy- that often indicates completion or thoroughness. As a perfective verb, wymierzyć denotes a single, bounded action, and its future forms express that the action will be completed.

Usage

Wymierzy is used when the subject will perform a single, decisive act of measurement or of meting out something. Common contexts include physical measurement and legal or moral judgments. Examples:

- On wymierzy dawkę leku. (He will measure out a dose of the medicine.)

- Sąd wymierzy karę. (The court will mete out a punishment.)

- Wyrok może zostać wymierzony zgodnie z przepisami. (A sentence may be meted out in accordance with the rules.)

In figurative language, wymierzyć can also mean to mete out justice or to determine a definite outcome, though more common collocations may appear in form like wymierzyć wyrok or wymierzyć sprawiedliwość.

Notes

Because wymierzyć is perfective, wymierzy is used for actions viewed as completed in the future rather than ongoing processes. The verb contrasts with imperfective forms such as mierzyć, which describe ongoing measurement or repeated actions. Wymierzy can also appear in other syntactic constructions with indirect objects (e.g., wymierzy komuś karę).
