robicie

Robicie is the second-person plural present tense form of the Polish verb robić, meaning to do or to make. It is an imperfective verb, used for actions that are ongoing, habitual, or not yet completed. The form is used with the subject wy and may appear without an explicit subject in everyday speech.

Conjugation and usage: The present tense forms of robić are: ja robię, ty robisz, on/ona robi, my robimy, wy robicie, oni/one robią. Because robić is imperfective, robicie conveys the sense of ongoing action or general activity rather than a completed event. Its perfective counterpart is zrobić, which expresses a completed action and is used to talk about future results. Negation is formed with nie, as in Nie robicie nic (You are not doing anything).

Examples: Co robicie teraz? (What are you doing right now?) Wy robicie obiad, czy macie plany na kolację? (You are making dinner; do you have plans for dinner?) Nie robicie nic, więc możecie odpocząć. (You are not doing anything, so you can rest.)

Pronunciation and etymology: Robicie is pronounced roughly as [ˈrɔbʲit͡ɕe]. The verb robić comes from common Slavic roots meaning to do or to make; in Polish it is a frequent, everyday verb with many idiomatic uses.
