Będę kupowała/będę kupić

Hello, guys. I was wondering what's the difference between będę kupowała and będę kupić. When do you use each of them and if you could explain if there is some kind of rules or something.

Thanks in advance.

the difference between będę kupowała and będę kupić.

Będę kupował = roughly: I will be buying. E.g. Codziennie rano będę kupował bułki. (indicates repetition)

Będę kupić - such construction does not exist in polish grammar, however, one can say:

Kupię = roughly: I will buy, I will have bought. E.g. Jutro kupię bułki (once, no repetition implied here)

Thank you very much. It's just that I've seen bede kupic and I didn't know what's the difference.

bede kupic

you must have seen będę kupować because będę kupić does not exist in Polish as Zibi has stated

there is no real difference between będę kupował and będę kupować

but surely there is a difference between będę kupował and będę kupowała - it;s about gender of the speaker as you probably know

będę kupowała and będę kupić

You probably want to ask what is the difference between będę kupowała and będę kupować

Either is good and means the same thing although if you were a man you would use będę kupował, a woman uses będę kupowała and both can use będę kupować.

Będę kupić - such construction does not exist in polish grammar, however, one can say:

But there is a construction "będę mogła kupić, będę mógł kupić - I will be able to buy".

Why complicate things? How about: kupię. No need to use the word "będę."

Men buy. Women shop.

Google:

Mężczyźni kupują. Sklep dla kobiet.

Men shop too. And women buy too.

Mężczyźni kupują. Sklep dla kobiet.

Google Translate sucks as much as you do lol

No need to use the word "będę

Będę mógł/mogła kupić has a completely different meaning than "kupię".

@Gerry,
"Kupie" means "I buy" vs. "Bede mogla kupic" meaning "I would buy", future subjunctive.

Ooops, sorry gang!

I mistyped and incorrectly labled said phrase as future subjunctive
when in fact it isn't subjunctive at all. Otherwise, the sentence would have read
"Bede moglBY..."

I apologize for my hastiness.

I'm not sure if the OP asked about the words "mógł/mogła" in this aspect; móc kupić = the ability to buy / afford to buy which you normally don't use

Good question.

Quoting:

Subjunctive forms of verbs are typically used to express various states of unreality such as wish, emotion, possibility, judgment, opinion, obligation, or action that has not yet occurred; the precise situations in which they are used vary from language to language.

Hey, Lyzko, you either know too much or drunk too much.

Also..."Future subjunctive" is not a typo. It's an attempt to show off.

"Labled" was a typo.

future subjunctive

Polish doesn't have a subjunctive... it has a single irrealis form usually called the conditional in English that corresponds with much/most use of the subjunctive in languages where it's important (like Spanish).

compare:

he would go 'poszedłby' sp: iria

I want him to go

sp: Quiero que vaya (I-want that he-go)

pl. Chcę, żeby poszedł (I-want that-he-would go)

Good point, Maf! However, Swan and others do allude to a subjunctive
without perhaps calling it by name.
