Jedziemy

Jedziemy is a Polish verb form meaning “we go” or “we are going,” and is the first-person plural present tense of jechać, the verb used for moving by vehicle or traveling. It can describe actions happening now or in the near future, depending on context, and is often used in everyday conversation to indicate current movement or plans.

Grammatical notes: Jechać is an imperfective verb, so jedziemy typically conveys an ongoing action rather than a completed one. The present tense forms of jechać include jadę (I go), jedziesz (you go), jedzie (he/she goes), jedziemy (we go), jedziecie (you all go), jadą (they go). The verb’s perfective counterpart pojechać expresses a completed trip, with future forms such as pojedziemy (we will go). This distinction allows speakers to contrast ongoing travel with planned or completed journeys.

Usage: Jedziemy commonly appears in statements about travel by car, bus, train, or other transport. It can denote actual movement, as in “Jedziemy do pracy” (We are going to work), or express near-future planning, as in “Jedziemy jutro do Krakowa” (We are going to Kraków tomorrow). In informal speech, it may also be used in team or group contexts to indicate readiness or progression in an activity.

Etymology and related forms: Jedziemy derives from the root of jechać, related to movement and travel across Slavic languages. Related forms include jedzie, jedziemy, jedźcie, and pojadą, with pojechać providing the corresponding perfective future sense.
