Questions & Answers about Ważność wygaśnie jutro.
Ważność is a noun meaning validity or the period during which something is valid.
In practical contexts, it often refers to things like:
- a document’s validity
- a ticket’s validity
- a contract’s validity
- a prescription’s validity
So in a sentence like Ważność wygaśnie jutro, ważność is the thing that will end.
This is a bit formal. In everyday life, Polish speakers often use fuller phrases like:
- termin ważności = expiry date / validity period
- data ważności = valid-until date
For example, on packaging you are more likely to see termin ważności than just ważność by itself.
This is a very common Polish question because it works differently from English.
Wygaśnie comes from the verb wygasnąć, which is a perfective verb. In Polish, perfective verbs do not normally have a true present tense for ordinary use. Their “present-looking” forms actually refer to the future.
So:
- wygasać = imperfective, to be expiring / to expire in a repeated or ongoing sense
- wygasnąć = perfective, to expire / to come to an end as a completed event
That means:
- ważność wygasa = validity is expiring / is in the process of expiring / expires (habitually, depending on context)
- ważność wygaśnie = validity will expire
So even though wygaśnie looks like a present form, it means will expire.
