Questions & Answers about Wpisuję adres i numer telefonu do formularza.

What does wpisuję mean exactly?

Wpisuję means I am entering, I enter, or I write in/fill in, depending on context.

It comes from the verb wpisywać (imperfective). This verb is used when you put information into something such as:

• a form
• a list
• a document
• a box on a screen

So Wpisuję adres i numer telefonu do formularza means that you are entering those details into the form.

A useful contrast is:

• wpisywać / wpisuję — imperfective, focusing on the process or repeated action
• wpisać / wpiszę — perfective, focusing on completing the action

So:

• Wpisuję adres... = I’m entering the address...
• Wpiszę adres... = I will enter the address / I’ll write in the address

Why is there no ja for I?

In Polish, subject pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action.

Here, -ę in wpisuję tells you it is I.

So:

• Wpisuję = I enter / I am entering
• Ja wpisuję = I enter, with extra emphasis

You would usually add ja only if you want contrast or emphasis, for example:

• Ja wpisuję adres, a ty wpisujesz numer telefonu.
  I enter the address, and you enter the phone number.
