pójść - to go (in the past) Idę do domu (now). Poszedłem do domu (I went home). wyjść - to exit or to go out of somewhere (btw. wejść - to enter) przyjść - to come

The exact translation of 'to be going to' would be 'mieć zamiar' or 'zamierzać':

Mam zamiar kupić ten samochód.
Zamierzam pójść na koncert.

In most situations however, using only the future tense should be sufficient:
I am going to get my ticket. - Pójdę po swój bilet or pójdę kupić/odebrać swój bilet (depending on what is that you want to say)
I am going to see what I can do. - Zobaczę co się da zrobić.
Are you going to be there? - Będziesz tam? (in this case, 'Zamierzasz tam być?' sounds good as well)

This is how I'd say it. Sounds more natural to me :)

Yes, in some cases you can. Idę do szkoły - I'm going to school Chodzę do szkoły - I go to school Idę do kina - I'm going to the cinema Chodzę do kina co sobotę - I go to the cinema every saturday PS: Have you noticed? MrEp: Zamierzam pójść na koncert. The sentence above is ok. Pójść is not exactly in the past (my mistake). It's in the perfective aspect.

thanks mrep yes i did notice the mistake, but wasnt really sure. i noticed that you use the word 'co' this means 'what' not 'every'. or have i missed something. chaza

chaza: i noticed that you use the word 'co' this means 'what' not 'every' You can say 'co poniedziałek' or 'w każdy poniedziałek'. It means every monday. If you want to say 'every week', you say 'co tydzień', not 'w każdy tydzień'.

Chodzić and iść, aren't they different verbs? Chodzicie do kościoła (szkoły)? Idziecie do kościoła (szkoły)?

SeanusThreads: 22 Posts: 30,158 Joined: Dec 25, 07 ♂	Dec 31, 10, 22:13 #13
Chodzicie do kościoła - Do you guys go to church? Idziecie do kościoła - Are you guys going to church?

yes they are, but as it turns out chodzić is a indetermanative verb, and iść is a detrmanative verb. both refer to 'going', but chodzić can mean 'to come', as in chcę ty do chodź z mnie( i want you to come with me). any corrrections welcomed. and i am still confused with 'co' chaza

Idę na spacer. = I'm taking a stroll (right now) Chodzę na spacer. = I take a regular stroll on a daily basis. Pójdę na spacer. = I'm going to take a stroll (Będę pójść na spacer) Przyjdę na spacer. = I'm coming (along) for a stroll.

Lyzko: Będę pójść na spacer Będę iść (the będę, będziesz etc forms can only appear with imperfective verbs)

Lyzko: Chodzę na spacery. = I take a regular stroll on a daily basis. Lyzko: Przyjdę na spacer. = I'm coming (along) for a stroll. sounds strange alone ok przyjdę na spacer po parku a potem pojedziemy na piwo ;)

chaza: and i am still confused with 'co' Yeah, it has several meanings, but it usually means 'what'.

ender: Lyzko: Przyjdę (razem z wami) na spacer a potem pójdziemy do kina. It's: Pójdę (z wami) na spacer a potem pójdziemy do kina. 'Przyjdę' can be used when they are already there and I'm going to join them there. Though, 'Przyjde do was' would be better here. Cinek

chaza: so how many meaning does 'co' have then? ender: # 1 as # 2 every # 3 what # 4 which # 5 that Przychodzi baba do lekarza. Lekarz ją pyta : - Co Pani jest? [meaning: What do you suffer from?] A baba na to: - Krawcowa, panie doktorze! [thinking the doctor has asked her: What's your profession, my dear lady?]
