This is the 8521st most frequent Polish word.
pozwoliłem
"I allowed" or "I let."
The verb "pozwoliłem" is used in past tense, first person singular, to indicate that the speaker granted or permitted an action to take place.
Pozwoliłem mu wejść do domu.
I allowed him to enter the house.
Here, "pozwoliłem" is reflexive, demonstrating the subject permitting themselves to perform the action mentioned.
Gdy skończyłem rozmowę, pozwoliłem sobie na chwilę odpoczynku.
When I finished the conversation, I allowed myself a moment of rest.
In this usage, "pozwoliłem" is used similarly to the first example, but with a female person as the indirect object, indicating permission given to her.
