wypowiada

Wypowiada is a Polish verb form meaning to utter, to say aloud, or to express oneself. It is the present tense, third-person singular of the imperfective verb wypowiadać, and it denotes an ongoing or repeated action of uttering words, statements, or sounds. The prefix wy- emphasizes outward speech, and the root relates to speaking.

In usage, wypowiada is typically followed by a direct object or a prepositional phrase indicating what is spoken, for example: on wypowiada zdanie (he utters a sentence) or ona wypowiada się na temat (she speaks on the topic / expresses her views). The verb can also appear in reflexive form wypowiadać się, which specifically means to express one’s opinion or to speak publicly on a matter.

Conjugation in the present tense (imperfective aspect) is: ja wypowiadam, ty wypowiadasz, on/ona/ono wypowiada, my wypowiadamy, wy wypowiadacie, oni wypowiadają. For a completed action, Polish would typically use the perfective pair wypowiedzieć (to state, to utter) with corresponding forms (e.g., wypowiedziałem, wypowiedziałeś, wypowiedział).

Etymology traces wypowiadać to a formation from the verb mówić (to speak) with the prefix wy-, signaling outward articulation. Related forms include wypowiedź (utterance, statement), wypowiedzenie (the act of stating), and wypowiadanie się (the act of expressing one’s views).

Wypowiada is common in formal, journalistic, and literary contexts when describing the act of verbally expressing something, whether a sentence, opinion, or statement.
