príde

Príde is a form of the Slovak verb prísť, meaning "to come." It is the third-person singular present tense form, used with masculine, feminine, or neuter subjects (on príde, ona príde, to príde). In Slovak, the present tense frequently serves to express future events when combined with time expressions such as dnes (today), zajtra (tomorrow), or o chvíľu (in a moment).

Morphology and related forms: the verb prísť is imperfective in some contexts but commonly treated as perfective. The present-tense forms include ja prídem (I will come), ty prídeš (you will come), on príde / ona príde / to príde (he/she/it comes), my prídeme, vy prídete, oni prídu (they will come). The form príde is therefore used for the third-person singular in the present tense and can express a future intention when used with time-specifying phrases.

Etymology and cognates: príde comes from the Slovak verb prísť, which has cognates across Slavic languages, such as Czech přijde/přijít, Polish przyjdzie, and Russian придти (pridti). These forms share a common meaning related to movement toward the speaker or a point in the future.

Usage notes: examples include On príde o hodinu. (He will come in an hour.) Príde dnes. (He is coming today.) Kto príde prvý? (Who comes first?) In standard Slovak, the form príde is generally understood without an explicit subject when the subject is clear from context.
