zapisuje

Zapisuje is the third-person singular present tense form of the Polish imperfective verb zapisywać, meaning to write down, to record, or to enroll. It denotes an action that is currently taking place, repeated, or generally true about the subject. As an imperfective form, it emphasizes the process rather than completion.

Morphology and usage

Zapisywać is used to describe ongoing recording activities, such as taking notes, logging data, or keeping records. The perfective counterpart, zapisać, expresses a completed act (for example, to make a single written record). In addition to literal recording, zapisywać can appear in contexts like enrolling or signing up for something, especially with reflexive form: zapisuje się na kurs (he/she signs up for a course). The form zapisyuje is used for he/she/it as the subject.

Etymology

The word is derived from the noun zapis (a record, note) with the verbal suffix -ywać, which forms imperfective verbs in Polish. The meaning center is the act of creating or maintaining a record.

Examples

- Marek zapisuje notatki z zajęć. (Marek writes down notes from the classes.)

- Nauczyciel zapisuje oceny w dzienniku. (The teacher records grades in the logbook.)

- On zapisuje się na kurs językowy. (He signs up for a language course.)
