Valgysime

Valgysime is the first-person plural future tense form of the Lithuanian verb valgyti, meaning "to eat." It is used to express a planned or definite future action that includes the speaker and at least one other person, essentially translating to "we will eat."

Etymology and grammar: Valgysime is formed from the verb stem valg- with the standard Lithuanian future tense ending for the first-person plural. It belongs to the conjugation pattern of valgyti and has related forms such as valgysiu (I will eat), valgysi (you will eat), and valgysite (you all will eat). The form is used in indicative mood to state a future event.

Usage: In everyday Lithuanian, valgysime appears in declarative sentences about upcoming meals or planned actions. Examples include Valgysime vakarienę po darbo (We will eat dinner after work) and Valgysime kartu šią savaitę (We will eat together this week). It can also appear in reported speech: Jis sakė, kad valgysime rytoj (He said that we will eat tomorrow). The form is neutral and appropriate across formal and informal registers.

Variations and related forms: While valgysime marks the first-person plural future, other persons and numbers use corresponding future forms of valgyti (e.g., valgysiu, valgysi, valgysime, valgysite, valgysią). The word remains closely tied to the verb valgyti and is typically used when the subject includes the speaker.
