Skurczycie

Skurczycie is the second-person plural future tense form of the Polish verb skurczyć, meaning you will shrink or you will contract. It is a conjugated form rather than a standalone word, used to indicate a future action by the plural subject wy (you, plural). The verb skurczyć is the perfective aspect of kurczyć, conveying a completed shrinking or shortening, in contrast to the imperfective kurczyć, which describes a process without specifying completion.

Etymologically, skurczyć is built with the prefix s- added to the root kurcz- (linked to the noun skurcz, contraction or shrinkage). The related noun skurcz and the verb kurczyć share this semantic field of reducing size or amount.

In usage, skurczycie appears in contexts discussing physical reduction of objects, materials, or biological entities, as well as metaphorical reductions in numbers, capacity, or duration. As a future tense form, it indicates that the shrinking action will take place at some point after the present.

Related terms include kurczyć (the imperfective counterpart meaning to shrink or contract in a ongoing or repeated way) and skurcz (the noun for contraction or shrinkage). Skurczycie thus belongs to the same word family and is part of standard Polish morphology for perfective verbs.
