Ksztaltujcie

Ksztaltujcie is the second-person plural imperative form of the Polish verb ksztaltować, meaning to shape, form, or mold something. As an imperative, it is used to address a group, urging them to shape or develop a material object, a process, or a more abstract target, such as skills, habits, or the future.

Etymology and form: The verb ksztaltować is built from the noun ksztalt (form, shape) plus the productive suffix -ować, yielding a regular verb meaning to shape or mold. The imperative ksztaltujcie is formed by attaching the second-person plural ending -ujcie to the stem ksztalt- (the word’s pronunciation reflects the diacritics: ą and ł). This form is used in plural, formal, or collective contexts.

Usage: Ksztaltujcie appears in instructional, motivational, or formal contexts and can be used both literally and figuratively. It is typically directed at groups rather than individuals and is common in educational materials, leadership rhetoric, or campaign or organizational slogans. The tone is directive or exhortative, rather than casual.

Examples:

- Kształtujcie swoje umiejętności poprzez praktykę.

- Kształtujcie przyszłość poprzez innowacje.

- Kształtujcie formę projektu zgodnie z wytycznymi.
