Questions & Answers about Czy pracujecie codziennie?
Why does the verb pracować change to pracujecie here?
The verb pracować (to work) belongs to a special group of verbs ending in -ować. When you use them in the present tense, the -ow- part changes to -uj-. Then we add the matching ending. For the plural "you", the ending is -ecie, giving us pracujecie.
How do we know who is working if there is no pronoun like "you" in the Polish sentence?
In Polish, the verb ending tells you exactly who is doing the action. The ending -ecie in pracujecie specifically means "you all" (plural). Because the ending is so clear, the pronoun wy (you plural) is usually dropped unless you want to add special emphasis.
Is there a trick to remembering the word codziennie?
Yes! It is built from two smaller pieces you might already recognize: co (which can mean "every" in this context) and a form of dzień (day). Put them together, and you get codziennie, meaning "every day".
Does czy always translate to "do"?
Not exactly. Czy is a general question word used to start yes/no questions. Depending on the English sentence, it might translate to "do", "does", "is", "are", or sometimes it is left out entirely in the translation. Here, it translates to "do" because the English question is "Do you...?"
