Lejesz

Lejesz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb lać, meaning to pour. It is used when addressing someone informally and refers to pouring a liquid from a container.

In its present tense paradigm, lejesz corresponds to you pour. The full present-tense conjugation of lać typically looks like: ja leję, ty lejesz, on leje; my lejemy, wy lejecie, oni leją. The pronunciation of lejesz is approximately [ˈlɛjɛʂ], with the final sz representing the Polish [ʂ] sound.

Usage and examples: Lejesz wodę do dzbanka? (Are you pouring water into the pitcher?) On leje kawę do kubka. (He pours coffee into a cup.) The form is commonly used for everyday actions involving liquid transfer, such as beverages or cooking liquids.

Etymology and related forms: Lejesz is derived from the Polish verb lać, which denotes the act of pouring. The exact historical origin of lać is not always clear, but it is cognate with similar Slavic verbs meaning to pour or spill. Related verbs include wlewać (to pour into) and przelewać (to spill or transfer, often across a distance or container).

Notes: Lejesz appears predominantly as a grammatical form rather than as a standalone lexical item outside of sentence construction. It can be confused with homographs or treated as a surname or place name in rare contexts, but its primary use is as a verb form in Polish grammar.
