Zdecydujesz

Zdecydujesz is a Polish verb form that means “you will decide” or “you decide,” depending on context. It is the second-person singular future tense of the perfective verb zadecydować, which means to decide or to come to a decision. The prefix za- (linking to the root decydować) signals completion of the action, so zadecydować conveys a sense of having made a decision.

Grammatically, zdecydujesz is a finite verb in the indicative mood used to describe a future action by the person addressed. Other related forms include zadecyduję (I will decide), zadecydujesz (you will decide), zadecyduje (he/she will decide), zdecyduj (imperative: decide!). The noun form related to the concept is decyzja (decision).

Usage and nuances: In everyday Polish, zdecydujesz is used when speaking directly to someone about a future decision. It can appear in statements such as Zdecydujesz, którą opcję wybrać, or in marketing and media as a call to action that emphasizes personal agency, for example Zdecydujesz o swojej przyszłości. While primarily a grammatical form, the phrase also functions as a recognizable slogan in contexts that encourage individual choice.
