zawiadomi

Zawiadomi is a Polish verb form derived from the verb zawiadomić, meaning to inform or notify. In modern Polish, zawiadomi is the third-person singular future tense form of zawiadomić, used to indicate that someone will inform another party about something. In sentences, it is normally written as two words, as in "on zawiadomi" or "ona zawiadomi," though dictionaries list the form as a cognate of the verb.

Etymology: The word is built from the root wiad- connected to wiadomość (information) with the prefix za- signifying completion and the suffix -ić forming a verb. The related imperfective verb powiadamiać and the perfective companion zawiadomić express similar notions of informing, notifying, or announcing.

Usage: Zawiadomi appears in formal or official contexts, such as communications from authorities, press releases, or legal documents, where a subject is stated to inform another party. It is used with direct objects in the accusative: zawiadomić kogoś o czymś (inform someone about something). For example: "Prezes zawiadomił radę o decyzji" (The president notified the council of the decision). The imperfective counterpart informować denotes ongoing or repeated informing.
