uwierzysz

Uwierzysz is a Polish verb form meaning “you will believe” or “you will trust.” It is the second person singular future tense of the verb uwierzyć, which is a perfective verb meaning to believe in the sense of reaching a belief or giving credence to something. As a future form of a perfective verb, uwierzysz conveys a completed action in the future.

Morphology and syntax: The form uwierzysz is built from the stem uwierz- with the second person singular future ending -ysz. In Polish, perfective verbs express a single, completed act, so uwierzysz refers to believing as a definite event rather than a process. The corresponding forms in other persons are ja uwierzę, ty uwierzysz, on/ona uwierzy, my uwierzymy, wy uwierzycie, oni uwierzą.

Usage: Uwierzysz is commonly used when addressing someone directly or when projecting belief into the future. Examples include: Uwierzysz mi, to prawda (You will believe me, it is true) and Uwierzysz, gdy zobaczysz (You’ll believe it when you see it). The form often appears in everyday speech, persuasive language, literature, and media, where a speaker prompts the listener to accept a claim in the near future.

Contrast with related forms: The imperfective counterpart is wierzyć, whose future is formed in different ways (e.g., będziesz wierzyć in some contexts) because imperfective verbs express ongoing or habitual actions rather than a single completed act. The first-person counterpart is uwierzę, while the third-person form is uwierzy.

Notes: Since uwierzysz is tied to the perfective verb uwierzyć, its use implies a definite future act of belief, rather than an ongoing process. It is one of several common second-person singular future forms in Polish.
