powrocie

Powrocie is the locative singular form of the Polish noun powrót, which means “return” or “coming back.” It denotes the act or moment of returning and is used primarily in phrases governed by locative-case constructions or prepositions that require this case, such as po. The noun powrót itself comes from the verb wrócić, “to return.”

Usage and examples: In everyday Polish, powrocie appears in expressions like po powrocie z podróży, meaning “after returning from a journey,” or po powrocie do domu, meaning “after returning home.” It is typically not used alone but within larger phrases that indicate time, place, or sequence related to coming back. The form can also occur in literary or formal contexts, including reports or narratives that describe events in relation to a return.

Grammatical notes: Powrocie is masculine in gender and constitutes the locative singular form. Other forms of powrót include powrót (nominative), powrotu (genitive), powrotowi (dative), powrot (accusative), and powrotem (instrumental). The related verb is wrócić, and an adjective form related to the concept is powrotny, meaning “return-related.”
