przychodzi

Przychodzi is a Polish verb form belonging to the imperfective verb przychodzić, meaning to come or to arrive. It is the third person singular present tense (indicative) form, used for habitual or general, ongoing actions as well as for events occurring in the near present. The word also appears in idiomatic expressions, such as "przychodzi mi na myśl" meaning "it comes to my mind."

Conjugation and basic usage: The present tense forms of przychodzić are: ja przychodzę, ty przychodzisz, on/ona przychodzi, my przychodzimy, wy przychodzicie, oni przychodzą. The form "przychodzi" specifically corresponds to he/she/it comes. The imperfective aspect of the verb emphasizes repetition or regular occurrence rather than a single completed event.

Etymology and meaning: The verb is built with the prefix przy- (toward, toward arriving) combined with the verb chodzić (to go, to walk). The combination conveys the sense of approaching or arriving at a place or person.

Usage notes: Przychodzić describes repeated or habitual arrivals, such as routines, regular visits, or recurring events. It can also describe a general truth about coming or appearing, and it appears in many idioms, especially those involving thought or perception, like "przychodzi mi na myśl." For a single, completed arrival, Polish uses the perfective pair przyjść/przyjdzie in future tense, rather than the present form przychodzi.
