wschodzi

Wschodzi is a Polish verb meaning to rise or to come up, used for objects that ascend above the horizon as well as for things that begin to appear. It is the present tense form of the imperfective verb wschodzić, and is commonly used with celestial bodies such as the Sun and the Moon, but also in figurative language to denote emergence or onset.

In ordinary usage, wschodzi describes the moment a body appears above the horizon. Typical examples include słońce wschodzi (the sun rises) and księżyc wschodzi (the moon rises). The noun wschód is related and carries the sense of sunrise or the direction of the east; phrases like wschód słońca or wschodzące słońce are common in literature and astronomy. The verb can also be used metaphorically to indicate the appearance or dawning of something, for instance nadzieja wschodzi in a poetic context, meaning hope is arising.

Form and grammar notes: wschodzi is used with third-person singular in the present tense (on/ona/to wschodzi) and with third-person plural as wschodzą (oni/one wschodzą). The imperfective aspect means it describes ongoing or repeated rising events rather than a completed action. Related forms include wschodzący (rising) and the noun wschód (east or sunrise). In contrast to z zachodem (sunset), wschód marks the rising phase of the day or a phenomenon.
