wzmacniam

Wzmacniam is a form of the Polish verb wzmacniać, meaning I strengthen or I amplify. It is the first-person singular present tense, used to describe an action performed by the speaker. The verb is imperfective, so it refers to ongoing, habitual, or repeated actions rather than a completed event.
