otrzymam

Otrzymam is a Polish verb form that translates to "I will receive" in English. It is the first-person singular future tense of the perfective verb otrzymać, meaning to obtain, acquire, or receive something as a completed action.

In usage, otrzymam is typical in formal or written language to indicate a forthcoming act of receiving. Because otrzymać is perfective, otrzymam denotes a single, completed event in the future, contrasting with imperfective forms such as otrzymuję (I receive / I am receiving) or the compound future built with będę otrzymywać (I will be receiving). Otrzymam is commonly used with direct objects like documents, money, awards, information, or confirmations: for example, Otrzymam list jutro (I will receive a letter tomorrow) or Otrzymam nagrodę za pracę (I will receive the prize for the work).

Related forms help describe the process or result of receiving. The noun otrzymanie means the act of receiving or receipt, and otrzymany means received. In everyday speech, speakers may opt for less formal equivalents such as dostanę (I will get) depending on context and register.

Etymologynotes: otrzymać is a prefixed form built from o- plus a root related to receiving or holding, with otrzymanie and otrzymany deriving from the same family. The form otrzymam specifically marks first-person singular future in the perfective aspect, indicating a definite, completed reception of something.
