Questions & Answers about Czy możesz sobie wyobrazić, że ona codziennie dojeżdża do pracy dwie godziny?

What does czy do at the beginning of the sentence?

Czy turns the sentence into a yes/no question.

So:

• Możesz sobie wyobrazić... = You can imagine...
• Czy możesz sobie wyobrazić... ? = Can you imagine... ?

Unlike English, Polish does not need do/does to form this kind of question. Adding czy is a very common and neutral way to signal that a question is coming.

You can also sometimes ask without czy, just by intonation:

• Możesz sobie wyobrazić...?

But czy makes the question clearer and more standard.

Why is it możesz, and what form is that?

Możesz is the 2nd person singular form of móc (to be able to / can).

So it means:

• możesz = you can / are you able to

In this sentence, it matches an implied singular you:

• Czy możesz... ? = Can you... ?

A few related forms:

• mogę = I can
• możesz = you can
• może = he/she/it can
• możemy = we can
• możecie = you (plural) can
• mogą = they can

Why is it sobie wyobrazić instead of just wyobrazić?
