czytacie

Czytacie is the second-person plural present tense form of the Polish verb czytać, meaning “you read.” It is used when addressing multiple people and describing actions taking place in the present.

In Polish, czytać belongs to the first conjugation of -ać verbs. The present tense forms are: ja czytam, ty czytasz, on/ona/ono czyta, my czytamy, wy czytacie, oni/one czytają. Thus, czytacie corresponds to the subject “wy” (you all) and denotes an ongoing or habitual action.

Usage notes: czytacie appears in statements and questions directed at multiple listeners. It contrasts with the imperative form czytajcie, which acts as a command (e.g., Czytajcie tę książkę!). In questions, it can be used with question words or with the particle czy, as in Czytacie teraz? or Czytacie tę książkę?

Examples:

- Czytacie teraz ten magazyn? (Are you reading this magazine now?)

- Wy czytacie książkę po angielsku? (Do you read the book in English?)

Etymology and related forms: czytać is a common Polish verb meaning “to read.” It belongs to the standard class of -ać verbs and is derived from the shared Slavic root associated with reading. Related nouns include czytanie (reading) and literacy-related terms, and related verbs include other forms such as czytasz (you read, singular) and czytają (they read).

Overall, czytacie is a routine, functional form used in everyday Polish to describe a plural subject performing the act of reading in the present.
