Zamierzasz

Zamierzasz is the second-person singular present form of the Polish verb zamierzać, meaning you intend or you plan to do something. The verb is imperfective and typically describes a plan or intention in the near future. The related noun zamiar means an intention or plan.

Usage and meaning

Zamierzasz is used to ask about or state someone’s plans. It is commonly followed by an infinitive to indicate the action you intend to perform. Examples: Co zamierzasz zrobić po pracy? (What do you intend to do after work?) Zamierzasz jutro wyjść? (Are you planning to go out tomorrow?) Zastanawiasz się, co zamierzasz zrobić — czy zostaniesz tutaj? (You’re thinking about what you intend to do—will you stay here?)

Grammatical notes

As a present-tense form, zamierzasz expresses intention in the present with reference to future action. It contrasts with czasowniki planować (to plan) in nuance: zamierzać emphasizes intention or resolve, while planować emphasizes the act of making a plan. The verb governs an infinitive: zamierzasz zrobić, zamierzasz iść, zamierzasz kupić. In negation, it becomes Nie zamierzasz... (I/you do not intend to...). The standard pronoun conjugation is: ja zamierzam, ty zamierzasz, on/ona zamierza, my zamierzamy, wy zamierzacie, oni zamierzają.

Zamiar is the noun corresponding to the concept of intention; zamierzać can be contrasted with other expressions of future plans, such as planować or mieć zamiar. While commonly used in conversation and informal writing, it remains appropriate in many formal contexts when discussing someone's stated plans or intentions.

In summary, zamierzasz is a common, neutral way to express that you or someone else intends to do something, often followed by an infinitive.
