Questions & Answers about Muszę udowodnić, że mam polisę.
Muszę is the 1st person singular form of the verb musieć (to have to / must).
Present tense of musieć:
- ja muszę — I must / I have to
- ty musisz — you must
- on/ona/ono musi — he/she/it must
- my musimy — we must
- wy musicie — you must
- oni/one muszą — they must
In Polish, the verb ending already shows the subject, so ja is usually omitted unless you want emphasis:
- Muszę udowodnić... = I have to prove...
- Ja muszę udowodnić... = I have to prove...
After muszę (I must / I have to), Polish normally uses an infinitive for the second verb.
So:
- Muszę udowodnić = I must prove
- literally: I must + to prove
This works just like many other Polish verb combinations:
- Muszę iść — I have to go
- Chcę zobaczyć — I want to see
- Mogę pomóc — I can help
