learning wrote: mean in words like robić and zrobić, or jeść and zjeść What does that z do?
Robić is the standard dictionary form being imperfective and zrobić is the same thing but is the perfective form of the same verb. You must remember not to use the form zrobić meaning to do or to make in the present tense. Therefore, ja robię-I am doing or making and ja zrobię meaning I will do something or I will make something. In the past tense, ja zrobiłlem coś means I did something and the action has already taken place. On the other hand, ja robiłlem coś means that you were doing something in a general sense and that action has still not been completed.
