"Zaraz wracam" - Why not "zaraz wrócę" ?

Czesc !

I have a great doubt in this sentence. I'm studying Perfective and Imperfective verbs in Polish.

Imperfectives verbs describes the moment, what is going on, the on going, right ? Like robić - mieć - kupować and so on.

Perfective verbs describes changes from one situation to another, like: Zaraz zrobię śniadanie. Right ?

So, why do you write Zaraz wracam, using an imperfective verb "wracać" and not a Perfective one "wrócić" ? Imperfective verbs are zrobić - napisać - wypić and so on.

Can somebody explain me this exception ? Is it an exception ?

I hope you can understand me because nienawidzę kiedy nie rozumiem !

Thanks a lot !

I'm not an expert , but "zaraz wracam" is used in signal language
(declarative)- it's a written sign, similar to "open" (czynne) or "closed" (zamkniete).

You know, it's like when you say: "I'm going for holiday next month". So although it's in the future, you use the present tense. The same here.

It is rather the same thing as prosze kawe and porosze kawe where even poprosze kawe can in fact be used now in the present tense although technically speaking it is a one off future action. When I am in the kitchen making a cup of coffee and my wife says to me 'ja poprosze kawe'. Here Zaraz wroce would be technically correct as you will be coming, in the future, in this dirrection, as a one off act.

Michal?? Are you ok???!!!

Yes ..but there are some (known to others) signs to explain it...why. And the signs don't need to be put in any "tenses"!

Like a road signs.

Yes, I am fine thank you, and you?

Therefore, zaraz wroce is correct meaning I will be back in a minute.

"Zaraz wracam." = I'm coming back soon.
"Zaraz wrócę." = I'll be (coming) back soon.
"Zaraz będę." = I'll be back soon.

But... just don't think too much about this. The Polish language has a lot of phrases that are inexplicable even to Polish natives. Just use "zaraz wracam" or "zaraz wrócę". After some time You'll FEEL the difference.

Good luck.

Yes, just as my example earlier ja prosze kawe or ja poprosze kawe-the same thing in different words.

OK. Polishmaster, thanks a lot :)

Polish is really a difficult language but it's worth to learn it.

And I thank you all to answer my question. Dziekuje Ella - Michal - metaxa357.

Now I can continue !!!!

that is was it tells me gadu gadu when somebody leaves for a bit

Zaraz wracam sounds good to me too.

no because it does describe the moment what is going on....i ;m going to be coming back. /action of coming back/ cause when you say zaraz wroce it means that you are back there

present tense - future tense

yup.i closed my shop for a few minutes(went to the loo?) and will come back soon.
zaraz wroce.picture the situation:your mate wants you to pop in to his flat to do something.you are busy with washing.your wife says;i don't want you to be there all day because we are busy,you know that?you answer;don't worry honey,i won't be there for long,zaraz wroce/bede z powrotem.
i hope it will help.

I hope he finishes the project by midnight.

I bet he doesn't come back on time.


Why present simple? For the same reason you say "zaraz wracam".

NB: "zaraz wrócę" sounds like a promise to me. (zaraz wracam - I'm merely stating a fact)
