"Skončíš jako tvůj otec!"

Translation: You will end up like your father!

[SBURNILL]

Jakub, "You will end up as your father" suggests that you will become your father. "You will end up like your father" means you will become similar to your father.

[dsarkarati]

Could this be translated in this way too: "You will end like your father."

[folshost]

That seems like it would mean "You will die like your father"

[Axel591520]

The sentence to translate was "Skončíš jako tvůj otec!". Is there a reason, why the posessive pronoun tvůj is used here rather than the reflexive possessive pronoun svůj? The subject of the sentence and the owner seem to refer to the same person ("you").

[VladaFu]

Here "jako tvůj otec" means "jako skončil tvůj otec"/"like your father ended up". In such a clause the subject/the originator of the action is the father, not the person we are warning.

[Axel591520]

Thanks a lot for the perfect explanation.

Does skončit also mean to finish?

[kacenka9]

Yes, it can.

[Jakub72S]

why not 'as': You will end up AS your father

[Randonneur3]

It is actually the present tense, for the future. Isn't it? That is what we are seeing in Future 2.

[VladaFu]

It looks like the present tense, but it is definitely future. This is how perfective verbs work.

You will finish like your father asi být nemůže, že?
