Odzwierciedlaj

Odzwierciedlaj is the second-person singular present imperative form of the Polish verb odzwierciedlać, meaning to reflect or to mirror. It is used to issue a direct command to a single informal addressee (ty). The base verb odzwierciedlać belongs to the family of Polish imperfective verbs formed with the root odzwierciedl- and conveys the sense of representing or reproducing something accurately in text, speech, or other media.

In usage, odzwierciedlaj appears in instructional, analytical, or prescriptive contexts, where the speaker asks the listener to present information faithfully or to mirror reality in their description or analysis. The imperative has two other persons: odzwierciedlajmy (we) and odzwierciedlajcie (you plural).

Examples:

- Odzwierciedlaj fakty w swoim opisie.

- Proszę odzwierciedlaj obserwacje w raporcie.

Notes:

The infinitive form is odzwierciedlać, from which the imperative odzwierciedlaj is derived. The related noun odzwierciedlenie denotes a reflection or representation. As a grammatical form, odzwierciedlaj does not constitute a separate lexical item beyond its verb paradigm, but it is frequently encountered in manuals, guidelines, and linguistic discussions about Polish imperatives.
