Pozostajecie

Pozostajecie is a Polish verb form meaning “you (plural) stay” or “you remain.” It is the second-person plural present tense of the imperfective verb pozostawać, which denotes ongoing or habitual staying rather than a completed action. The form fits the standard present-tense pattern of pozostawać: pozostaję, pozostajesz, pozostajemy, pozostajecie, pozostają.

As an imperfective form, pozostajecie describes a current, continuing state or activity. It is commonly used to talk about where someone is staying or what someone is doing at the moment or over a period of time. For example: Pozostajecie w domu. (“You are staying at home.”) Pozostajecie wierni tradycji. (“You remain faithful to tradition.”)

There is a related perfective counterpart formed from the same root: pozostaniecie is the future tense for the 2nd person plural of pozostawać’s perfective partner pozostawić/pozostać, depending on nuance. A natural example is: Pozostaniecie tu do rana. (“You will stay here until morning.”) In past contexts, the corresponding plural past forms would be pozostaliście, meaning “you remained.”

Etymology and related forms: pozostajecie derives from the prefix po- added to the base zostawać, yielding a verb meaning to continue to stay or to remain. It is commonly contrasted with the imperfectivesia and the perfective counterparts to express nuances of aspect and time.
