gotujesz

Gotujesz is the second-person singular present tense form of the Polish verb gotować, meaning to cook. It is used when addressing someone informally (ty) and refers to actions happening now or as part of a regular habit. The present tense forms of the verb gotować include ja gotuję, ty gotujesz, on/ona gotuje, my gotujemy, wy gotujecie, oni gotują.

Grammar and usage notes: Gotować is an imperfective verb, indicating a repeated, ongoing, or general action rather than a completed event. Its perfective counterpart ugotować expresses the idea of cooking something to completion. The present tense form gotujesz therefore describes ongoing cooking or typical behavior, not a finished action.

Common contexts: People use gotujesz to ask about someone’s current or typical cooking activity, or to comment on their cooking skills. Examples include: Co gotujesz na obiad? (What are you cooking for dinner?), Czy gotujesz często? (Do you cook often?), Ty gotujesz bardzo dobrze. (You cook very well.)

Related terms: Gotowanie is the noun form meaning cooking. The verb forms for imperative mood include gotuj (you cook) and gotujcie (you all cook), used to give commands or instructions.

Usage notes: As with many Polish verbs, context determines aspect. For ongoing meals or routines, present tense is common. For finished dishes or completed actions, speakers may use perfective constructions such as ugotować. Gotuje się jest również używane w opisie czynności kulinarnych w ogólnym sensie.

In summary, gotujesz marks a familiar, present-tense reference to cooking by the person being spoken to, embedded in everyday conversation about meals and culinary activities.
