Questions & Answers about My jesteśmy tutaj razem.
Why is the word My used at the beginning?
My means we in Polish. In many Polish sentences, you can omit the subject pronoun because the verb already indicates who is doing the action — in this case, jesteśmy already implies “we.” However, sometimes speakers add my for emphasis or clarity.
What is the role of jesteśmy in this sentence?
Jesteśmy is the present-tense conjugation of the verb być (to be) for the first-person plural. In other words, it tells us that we are the ones “being” in the present moment.
Why does this sentence use tutaj instead of tu?
Both tutaj and tu mean here in Polish, but tutaj is slightly more explicit, almost like saying over here. Tu is a bit shorter and more colloquial, but they’re generally interchangeable in most contexts.
What does razem add to the meaning?
Razem means together. It specifies that not only are “we” here, but we are here collectively, as a group. This word highlights unity or joint presence.
Is the word order important in this sentence?
Polish has flexible word order, especially for emphasis. My jesteśmy tutaj razem is a clear, standard way to say We are here together. You could rearrange words — for example, Razem jesteśmy tutaj or Tutaj jesteśmy razem — and it would still make sense, but certain word orders might sound more natural than others or shift the emphasis to different words.
