matysime

Matysime is a Lithuanian verb form meaning "we will see." It is the first-person plural future tense of the verb matyti, which means "to see." The form follows the standard pattern for future tense in Lithuanian, and it ends with -sime, a common ending for 1st-person plural futures in many verbs (for example, žinosime, which means "we will know").

Usage and meaning: Matysime can express literal future vision, as in planning to look or observe something, or a more figurative sense of understanding or realizing something in the future. It appears in both formal and informal contexts, and it is used in everyday speech as well as written Lithuanian.

Example sentences:

- Rytoj matysime, kas atsitiks. ("We will see tomorrow what will happen.")

- Matysime, ar viskas pavyks. ("We will see if everything works out.")

Morphology and related forms: Matysime derives from matyti. Related forms include matysite (you will see), matys (he/she/they will see in some contexts), and the past tense forms such as matėme ("we saw"). Other related derivations use the same future tense pattern with different roots.

Notes: In Lithuanian, mood and nuance can shift with context, so matysime can be used for tentative or conditional meaning when combined with other particles. The term is primarily of linguistic interest for learners and speakers of Lithuanian, rather than a separate lexical entry with independent meaning outside this verb form.
