wznosi

Wznosi is a Polish verb form meaning to raise, lift, or erect. It is the present tense, third-person singular form of the imperfective verb wznosić and can also appear in the intransitive construction wznosić się, meaning to rise or ascend. The term is used in both concrete and figurative contexts, from construction to metaphorical increases or elevations.

In usage, wznosi with a direct object describes active lifting or erecting something: for example, wznosi most (he raises a bridge) or wznosi budynek (he erects a building). Intransitively, it appears with się: fala wznosi się (the wave is rising) or dym wznosi się nad miastem (smoke rises above the city). The sense depends on context and aspect, with the imperfective form typically used for ongoing or repeated action.

Conjugation in the present indicative (examples for common forms): ja wznoszę, ty wznosisz, on/ona/ono wznosi, my wznosimy, wy wznosicie, oni wznoszą. Polish verbs of this class form related derivatives such as the present participle wznoszący (rising) and the passive participle wzniesiony (raised). The perfective counterpart is often expressed by wznieść or related forms, indicating a completed act of raising.

Etymology and related terms: wznosić is built with the prefix w- added to the root znosi-, and is connected in meaning to other movement verbs describing lifting or elevation. It is distinct from, but related to, podnieść (to lift up) and wznieść (to raise, especially monuments or large structures) in broader Polish usage.

Wznosi is a common, neutral term in standard Polish, appearing in journalism, literature, and everyday speech to describe raising, erecting, or rising phenomena.
