mówił

In a sentence

• On mówił mi o swoich wakacjach.

  He told me about his vacation.

  The word 'mówił' in this sentence is in past tense, third-person singular, indicative mood of the verb 'mówić' which means 'to speak or tell'. It's used to describe an action in the past where the subject shared information.

• Mówił coś, ale go nie słyszałem.

  He was saying something, but I didn't hear him.

  Here, 'mówił' expresses an imperfective action in the past, indicating an ongoing or incomplete action. This use emphasizes the process rather than the result.

• Kiedy go zobaczyłem, mówił przez telefon.

  When I saw him, he was speaking on the phone.

  In this example, 'mówił' is again in the past tense and conveys an action that was happening at a specific moment in the past.
