Kierujecie

Kierujecie is a Polish verb form meaning you (plural) direct or are directing. It is the present tense, second person plural, of the imperfective verb kierować, which covers meanings such as directing, guiding, managing, or steering. The form is used for actions that are ongoing or habitual in the present.

Grammatical notes: kierować is a regular verb of the Polish imperfective aspect. The present tense forms are: ja kieruję, ty kierujesz, on/ona kieruje, my kierujemy, wy kierujecie, oni kierują. The present second person plural, kierujecie, shares the stem kieruj- with the other present forms but ends with -ecie in this person.

Usage: kierujecie can refer to literal direction or leadership, for example: Wy kierujecie tym projektem (You are directing this project). Wy kierujecie samochodem (You are driving/steering the car). The verb also participates in idiomatic expressions such as kierować się czymś, meaning to be guided by or to follow something, e.g., Kierujecie się zasadami? (Are you guided by the principles?). In imperative mood, the second person plural form is kierujcie, used to issue a command: Kierujcie ostrożnie! (Drive carefully / Direct carefully!).
