Przypomnij

Przypomnij is a form in Polish used as the second-person singular imperative of the perfective verb przypomnieć (and more commonly associated with the imperfective przypominać in its imperative form przypominaj). As an imperative, it is a command or request meaning “Remind!” or “Remind me to …” depending on the context. The form is typically used to tell someone to prompt memory about a fact, event, or task.

In practical use, przypomnij appears with direct objects or prepositional phrases to indicate what should be reminded about. Common constructions include przypomnij mi o czymś (Remind me about something) or przypomnij sobie coś (Remind yourself of something). It can also be extended with a subordinate clause or an accompanying event: przypomnij, gdy będzie okazja (remind me when there is an opportunity). The phrase is often softened with polite particles or combined with “proszę,” as in proszę, przypomnij mi o spotkaniu (please remind me about the meeting).

Grammatically, przypomnij is the 2nd person singular imperative of a perfective verb, contrasting with the imperfective form przypominaj, which is used for habitual or repeated reminders. The imperative forms align with standard Polish mood usage, where the subject is typically understood as you (infinitive subject you). Other related forms include przypomnijcie for the 2nd person plural and related reflexive or clausal constructions such as przypomnij sobie to.

Examples illustrate typical usage in everyday Polish, from casual requests among friends to more formal reminders in work settings. The term sits within the broader family of verbs related to memory and prompting action, includingин memory-related expressions and reminder phrases.
