Questions & Answers about Jeśli jesteś za, zgadamy się jutro i będziemy w kontakcie.
What does Jeśli mean here, and can I also say jeżeli?
Jeśli means if.
Yes, you can also say jeżeli. In most everyday contexts, jeśli and jeżeli are interchangeable:
- Jeśli jesteś za...
- Jeżeli jesteś za...
Both mean the same thing. Jeśli is a bit shorter and very common in speech.
Why are there no subject pronouns like ty or my in this sentence?
Polish usually leaves subject pronouns out when the verb ending already shows who the subject is.
In this sentence:
- jesteś = you are
- zgadamy się = we will agree / we’ll talk it over
- będziemy = we will be
So Polish does not need to say ty or my unless the speaker wants extra emphasis or contrast.
For example:
- Jeśli jesteś za... = If you’re in favor...
- Jeśli ty jesteś za... = If you are in favor...
This sounds more emphatic.
