pójdziesz

Pójdziesz is a Polish verb form functioning as the second person singular future tense of the perfective verb pójść, which means to go or to set off. It denotes a single, completed future action performed by the subject you (informal, singular). The form contrasts with the imperfective iść, whose future is expressed differently; pójść is used when the action is viewed as a one-time event or a definite plan.

Etymology and morphology: pójść is derived from the verb iść with the prefix po-, which adds nuance of starting, going off, or proceeding with a planned action. The suffix -esz marks the second person singular in the present/future tense, so pójdziesz literally means “you will go (off/away).”

Usage: Pójdziesz is commonly used in ordinary speech to express future intention or a scheduled action. It can occur in questions, statements, or conditional-like contexts. For example: Pójdziesz jutro do sklepu? (Will you go to the shop tomorrow?) Czy pójdziesz ze mną na spacer? (Will you go with me for a walk?)

Related forms: Pójdzie is the third person singular form (he/she/it will go). Pójdź is the imperative form (go!); it is distinct from pójdziesz and is used to give direct commands. The imperfective counterpart of a similar meaning in future is constructed differently, often with a different aspect and structure, since pójść is the perfective partner of iść.

Notes: The word is standard in contemporary Polish. Pronunciation is approximately “POY-dziesh.”
