dodajce

Dodajce is a term used primarily to describe a common misspelling in Polish-language text. It refers to the second-person plural imperative dodajcie, from the verb dodać (to add). The misspelling removes the i in the ending, yielding dodajce. It is mainly seen in informal online communication, social media, and user comments, where fast typing or auto-correct features can produce errors. Linguists and editors often classify it as an orthographic error rather than a separate word.

Origin and patterns: The standard form dodajcie follows the conjugation pattern of Polish verbs with the -cie ending. Some typists confuse the sequence or an auto-correct algorithm rewrites cie as ce, which results in dodajce. Because Polish spelling reflects pronunciation, removing the i changes the digraph to a different visual pattern, making the misspelling easy to overlook in quick reads.

Usage and correction: In edited texts, dodajce is typically corrected to dodajcie. When encountered in casual writing, readers should interpret it as the intended imperative dodajcie and apply normal proofreading rules if accuracy is required.

Examples: Correct: Dodajcie te pliki do katalogu. Incorrect: Dodajce te pliki do katalogu.
