About this verb#

  • Class 16b -ить pattern of the пить / бить / лить / шить family: insertion of soft sign yields the present-future stem -ль- (полью, польёшь). Past has the mobile by-stress: masculine and neuter may go either way полил / полил, but feminine is firmly end-stressed полила. Imperative drops to soft -ей: полей.
