Nie spiesz się, zdążymy na czas.

Polish often leaves subject pronouns out because the verb form already tells you who the subject is.

• spiesz = an imperative addressed to one person, so it means you, hurry
• zdążymy = we will make it / we’ll be on time

So Polish does not need explicit ty or my here unless you want extra emphasis.

Because the natural verb here is spieszyć się, which means to hurry or to be in a hurry.

In Polish, się is a very common particle used with many verbs. Sometimes it makes the verb reflexive, and sometimes it is just part of the standard dictionary form. Here, you should learn the whole expression as:

• spieszyć się = to hurry

So Nie spiesz się is literally built from that full verb.

Spiesz is the imperative form of spieszyć się for one person, informally.

So:

• spieszyć się = to hurry
• spiesz się = hurry
• nie spiesz się = don’t hurry

This is how Polish makes a negative command: nie + imperative.

In this sentence, Nie spiesz się is the normal and natural order.

With many Polish verbs, się is flexible in some contexts, but it usually does not go at the very beginning, and in short everyday commands it most naturally follows the verb:

• Nie spiesz się ✅
• Nie się spiesz ❌

So for a learner, the safest choice is to keep się after the verb here.

Because zdążyć is a perfective verb.

In Polish, perfective verbs use present-tense endings to talk about the future. So:

• zdążymy does not mean we are making it right now
• it means we will make it or we’ll manage to be in time

This is a very important Polish pattern:

• imperfective verbs can describe ongoing present actions
• perfective verbs normally refer to a completed future action when they use present endings

Zdążyć means something like:

• to manage to do something in time
• to make it before it is too late
• to be in time for something

So it is not just to arrive. It has the idea of success before a deadline or limit.

For example:

• Zdążymy na pociąg = We’ll make the train
• Nie zdążę = I won’t make it in time

In your sentence, the exact thing you are trying to make on time is understood from context.

A little, yes.

Very often zdążymy by itself already suggests in time. So in many situations, just Zdążymy would be enough.

But adding na czas makes the meaning more explicit and reassuring:

• Zdążymy = We’ll make it
• Zdążymy na czas = We’ll make it on time

So it is natural, just slightly more emphatic.

Na czas is a fixed Polish expression meaning on time or in time, depending on context.

So:

• na czas = on time / in time
• zdążyć na czas = to make it on time

You should learn na czas as a chunk. It is the standard phrase here.

Yes, you may see both forms:

• spieszyć się
• śpieszyć się

Both are understood and accepted, but spieszyć się and nie spiesz się are generally the more common neutral modern forms in everyday Polish.

So as a learner, Nie spiesz się is the safest version to use.

Because there are two separate clauses:

• Nie spiesz się = a command
• zdążymy na czas = a statement explaining or justifying that command

The comma separates them, just like in English:

• Don’t hurry, we’ll be on time

So the punctuation is very natural.

To more than one person:

• Nie spieszcie się, zdążymy na czas.

More politely to one person, a very natural option is:

• Proszę się nie spieszyć, zdążymy na czas.

You can also hear:

• Niech się pan nie spieszy, zdążymy na czas.
• Niech się pani nie spieszy, zdążymy na czas.

So the sentence changes depending on whether you are speaking:

• informally to one person
• informally to several people
• formally/politely
