Questions & Answers about Jutro lecę do domu.

What does jutro mean, and how is it pronounced (where’s the stress)?

Jutro means tomorrow. It’s pronounced [ˈjut.rɔ], with the stress on the first (penultimate) syllable, as in most two-syllable Polish words.

What form of the verb is lecę?

Lecę is the 1st person singular present tense form of the verb lecieć (to fly). In English you’d render it as I’m flying or I fly.

Why use the present tense lecę to talk about a future trip?

Polish often uses the present tense for near-future actions when combined with a time adverb like jutro. Since lecieć is imperfective, its present form covers both “I’m flying now” and “I will fly” in context. Perfective verbs (e.g. polecieć) form a separate future: polecę (I will fly).

What’s the difference between lecieć and latać, and why is lecieć used here?
