Zrozumiecie

Zrozumiecie is a Polish verb form derived from zrozumieć, the perfective version of rozumieć, meaning to understand. It is the second-person plural form in the future tense, used when addressing more than one person and indicating that they will understand something. For example, Wy zrozumiecie to za kilka minut means “You will understand this in a few minutes.”

In usage, zrozumiecie expresses a completed action in the future, rather than a present state. It can appear in direct address, in reported speech, or in subordinate clauses. For instance: Kiedy przeczytacie ten artykuł, zrozumiecie, o czym mówię (“When you read this article, you will understand what I’m saying”).

Morphology and related forms: the verb stem is zrozum- with the feminine-infinitive suffix -ieć, and the second-person plural future ending is -cie, yielding zrozumiecie. Full presentable future conjugation for reference is: ja zrozumiem, ty zrozumiesz, on zrozumie, my zrozumiemy, wy zrozumiecie, oni zrozumieją. The form is distinct from the imperfective rozumiecie (present tense: “you understand”).

Etymology: zrozumiecie comes from the prefix z- added to the imperfective verb rozumieć, forming a perfective verb zrozumieć that denotes a completed act of understanding. The prefix z- conveys a sense of achievement or completion.
