Questions & Answers about Najpierw wpisuję imię i nazwisko, a potem adres.
Why is the verb wpisuję used here instead of just piszę?
Because wpisuję means I enter / I fill in / I write into a form or field, not just I write in a general sense.
- pisać = to write
- wpisywać / wpisać = to enter, write in, fill in
In this sentence, the speaker is probably entering information on a form, website, or document, so wpisuję is the natural choice.
For example:
- Piszę list. = I am writing a letter.
- Wpisuję adres. = I am entering the address.
What form is wpisuję?
Wpisuję is:
- 1st person singular: I
- present tense
- from the verb wpisywać (imperfective)
So it literally means I am entering or I enter.
A few present-tense forms of wpisywać:
- wpisuję = I enter
- wpisujesz = you enter
- wpisuje = he/she/it enters
- wpisujemy = we enter
Why are imię, nazwisko, and adres not changed very much? Shouldn’t they be in a different case?
