Walcz

Walcz is the second-person singular imperative form of the Polish verb walczyć, which means to fight or to struggle. As an imperative, Walcz is used to give a direct command or exhortation, roughly equivalent to “Fight!” or “Keep fighting!” in English. The base infinitive walczyć denotes taking part in a combat or a struggle, literal or figurative.

Walczyć is an intransitive verb that is typically used with prepositional complements. It commonly takes the construction walczyć o coś to fight for something (a goal, rights, survival) or walczyć ze kimś lub z czymś to fight against someone or something. The form walcz, as the imperative, contrasts with present-tense forms such as walczę (I fight), walczysz (you fight), walczy (he/she fights), walczymy (we fight), walczycie (you fight), walczą (they fight). The imperfective aspect foregrounds ongoing or habitual fighting, while a related perfective form such as wywalczyć means to fight for and secure something, emphasizing a completed achievement.

Common usages include physical or military combat, sports competition, or figurative struggles against problems or obstacles. Examples: Walcz o swoje prawa. (Fight for your rights.) Walcz ze swoimi słabościami. (Fight your weaknesses.) In longer phrases, the verb appears in many idiomatic constructions reflecting perseverance, resilience, or resistance.

In summary, walcz functions as a direct exhortation within a broader Polish verb system that covers both literal fighting and metaphorical struggle, with related forms that describe ongoing action and completed achievements.
