Pomijajcie

Pomijajcie is the second-person plural imperative form of the Polish verb pomijać, meaning to omit, leave out, or ignore. It is used to instruct a group of people to skip certain parts of a text, procedure, or discussion, or to draw attention away from particular details. As an imperative, it functions in direct address and can appear in instructional, editorial, or collaborative contexts.

Etymology and grammar: pomijajcie is derived from the imperfective verb pomijać, combining the prefix po- with the verb mijać (to pass by). The form pomijajcie signals ongoing or habitual omission in the present. Other related forms include pomijaj (singular), pomijajmy (let’s omit), and nie pomijajcie (do not omit). The imperfective aspect emphasizes the action as a general habit or repeated instruction rather than a single completed act. The noun form pomijanie denotes the act of omitting, and the adjective pomijany describes something that is omitted.

Usage: pomijajcie is commonly found in written instructions, academic writing, and collaborative materials where a group is asked to skip certain details. It can also appear in dialogue or manuals when guiding readers or participants to focus on essential elements by omitting extraneous content. Semantically, it carries a deliberate intent to withhold or exclude rather than merely to ignore.
