Voorzie

Voorzie is the imperative form of the Dutch verb voorzien, meaning to provide, supply, or furnish. In usage, it is a direct command telling someone to supply something, and it is commonly followed by the object of provisioning, for example with a noun phrase or a prepositional phrase indicating what should be provided. The imperative can be used in both informal and formal contexts, depending on how the command is addressed.

In everyday speech, Voorzie is used without an explicit subject, as with most Dutch imperatives: "Voorzie me

Grammatically, Voorzie derives from the verb voorzien, whose present tense forms include ik voorzie, jij voorziet,
