Powikszaj

Powikszaj is not a standard Polish lemma and is most likely a misspelling of powiększaj, the imperative form of the verb powiększać (to enlarge or increase the size of something). The correct spelling powiększaj uses diacritics; without them the word can be misread or mistyped as powikszaj in digital text.

In Polish, powiększać is an imperfective verb, with a perfective counterpart powiększyć. The imperative forms used to instruct someone to enlarge are powiększaj (informal singular, iterative), powiększajcie (informal plural), and powiększ (short imperative from powiększyć, often used in more direct commands). The noun related to the action is powiększanie, meaning enlargement or magnification, and powiększony meaning enlarged.

Usage and context: powiększaj is commonly encountered in informal speech or written instructions to enlarge something, such as an image, text, or a region. In modern software interfaces, the equivalent actions are often labeled with powiększ, powiększaj, or przybliż (and their equivalents in other languages), depending on localization choices. The everyday term for increasing size in Polish tends to be powiększ, especially in compact UI messages and icons.

Etymology: powiększ- comes from the prefix powiększ- attached to the verb stem, with standard imperative endings such as -aj or -ajcie. The spelling powikszaj does not align with standard Polish orthography and is considered a typographical variant rather than a distinct word.
