skurczysz

Skurczysz is a Polish verb form. It represents the second-person singular future tense of the perfective verb skurczyć, which means to shrink or contract. The form is used when the subject is you and the action will produce a contraction or reduction, typically focusing on the result.

Etymology and meaning: The word derives from the root kurcz- (contraction) with the prefix s-, and it is closely related to the noun skurcz, meaning contraction or cramp. The related verb kurczyć means to shrink or lessen, often in an iterative or non‑completed sense.

Morphology: In the future tense, skurczyć takes the following personal forms: ja skurczę, ty skurczysz, on/ona skurczy, my skurczymy, wy skurczycie, oni/one skurczą.

Usage: It is a transitive, perfective form used to describe a future event that will bring about a contraction of a thing (fabric, material, quantities, costs) or a figurative reduction in size or amount. It does not typically describe a subject shrinking itself.

Examples:

- Jeżeli upierzesz ten materiał w zbyt wysokiej temperaturze, skurczysz go.

- Dzięki temu planowi skurczysz koszty energii.

Notes: The form is primarily grammatical; skurczysz is not a standalone noun. The noun skurcz denotes contraction or cramp, and the related verb kurczyć is its imperfective counterpart.
