Przychodzimy

Przychodzimy is the first-person plural present tense form of the Polish imperfective verb przychodzić, meaning “we come” or “we are coming.” It denotes a habitual, repeated, or ongoing action of moving toward a place, rather than a single completed arrival. The imperfective aspect emphasizes the process or routine rather than a momentary event. The perfective counterpart for a single completed arrival is przyjść.

Grammatically, przychodzimy belongs to the conjugation pattern of przychodzić. Other present tense forms are: przychodzę (I come), przychodzisz (you come), przychodzi (he/she/it comes), przychodzicie (you all come), przychodzą (they come). The prefix przy- indicates movement toward or toward a location, and the stem -chod- is related to the verb chodzić, meaning to go or to walk.

Usage and nuances: przychodzimy is used for regular or customary movements toward a destination, such as a workplace, home, or meeting place. It can also describe ongoing actions in a current context. In contrast, the perfective przyjść expresses a specific, punctual arrival. Common collocations include przychodzimy do pracy, przychodzimy do domu, and przychodzimy na zajęcia.

Examples:

- Przychodzimy do domu o ósmej. (We come home at eight.)

- Przychodzimy tutaj codziennie. (We come here every day.)

Related forms and related verbs include przychodzę, przychodzisz, przychodzi, oraz prIchodzące and the perfective przyjść. The term appears primarily in everyday Polish discourse to describe movement toward a location by a group.
