Questions & Answers about Она обязательно придёт, если ей хватит времени.
What does обязательно mean here, and are there nuances?
- It means definitely/without fail/surely; it expresses the speaker’s strong confidence.
- It can also mean obligatorily (you must) in other contexts: Обязательно принесите паспорт.
- Close synonyms for this use: непременно (a bit formal), точно (colloquial “for sure”), наверняка (very likely, slightly less categorical than обязательно).
Why is придёт used—what tense/aspect is it? Could I say будет приходить or приходит?
- Придёт is the simple future of the perfective verb прийти. In Russian, perfective “present” forms refer to the future.
- It conveys a single, completed arrival.
- Будет приходить (imperfective future) means will come repeatedly/habitually.
- Приходит (present) expresses a habitual present, not a single future event.
Is придёт the same as приедет?
- Придёт typically implies coming on foot or simply arriving at a place; приедет implies arriving by vehicle.
- If the mode of arrival is irrelevant, either can be acceptable depending on context.
