Zaliczymy

Zaliczymy is a Polish verb form meaning “we will pass” or “we will complete,” derived from the verb zaliczyć. It is the first-person plural future tense of zaliczyć, which is a perfective verb. In everyday use, zaliczyć broadly means to pass a test or exam, to meet a requirement, or to count something as part of a set or achievement. The exact sense depends on the context, ranging from academic success to fulfilling criteria for a program or activity.

Etymology and nuance: zaliczyć comes from the prefix z- (meaning away or to completion) combined with liczyć (to count). The prefix contributes the sense that something has been counted toward a goal or officially accepted as part of a requirement. In contrast, the imperfective parallel zdać is often used specifically for passing an examination, though in many contexts zaliczyć can be used interchangeably with a nuance of completing or meeting the condition rather than merely taking the test.

Usage and contexts: zaliczymy is commonly used when speaking on plans or promises about future success. Examples include: Zaliczemy egzamin jutro. (We will pass the exam tomorrow.) Chcemy zaliczyć ten przedmiot na pierwszym semestrze. (We want to complete this course in the first semester.) Zaliczymy ten projekt do końca tygodnia. (We will complete/approve this project by the end of the week.)
