Piszesz

Piszesz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb pisać, meaning to write. The form belongs to the imperfective aspect, which describes actions that are ongoing, repeated, or not yet completed. In present usage, piszesz can translate as you write or you are writing, depending on context.

Morphology and related forms: Polish verbs are conjugated for person and number. The present tense of pisać is ja piszę, ty piszesz, on/ona/ono pisze, my piszemy, wy piszecie, oni/one piszą. The imperfective contrasts with the perfective counterpart napisąć/napisać, used to express completed actions with future meaning, as in napiszesz (you will write). The choice between imperfective and perfective affects aspect rather than tense alone and is central to Polish verb usage.

Usage and nuances: piszesz is commonly used to describe current writing activity, habitual writing, or future plans involving writing when paired with time expressions. It appears in questions (Co piszesz teraz? What are you writing now?) and statements (Piszesz list do mamy. You are writing a letter to mom.). The pronoun ty is often implied in Polish, so the verb form alone can identify the subject.

Context and style: This form is standard in informal contexts and everyday speech. In formal or written Polish, speakers may use different pronouns or other verbs to convey formality, but piszesz remains a core example of second-person singular present in ordinary dialogue.
