dodajecie

Dodajecie is the second-person plural present tense form of the Polish verb dodawać, meaning to add. It is used when addressing more than one person informally, describing an action that is currently taking place or happens regularly.

Grammatical notes: The form follows the standard present-tense conjugation pattern for dodawać, with the ending -ecie attached to the stem dodaj-. It is distinct from the imperative form dodajcie, which is used to issue a direct command to a group. In formal contexts, a different construction is often used, for example with the pronoun Państwo, which takes the third-person plural form (e.g., Państwo dodają).

Usage and nuance: Dodajecie is commonly found in everyday speech and writing related to cooking, problem-solving, or any situation involving adding quantities or elements. It is not restricted to a single domain and can describe both physical additions (adding sugar, water, or ingredients) and abstract additions (adding items to a list, to a plan, or to a score).

Examples:

- Wy dodajecie sól do zupy. (You [all] are adding salt to the soup.)

- Czy dodajecie jeszcze trochę wody do mieszanki? (Are you all adding a little more water to the mixture?)

Related forms: Other present-tense forms of dodawać include dodaję (I add), dodajesz (you add, singular), dodaje (he/she/it adds), dodajemy (we add), dodają (they add). The imperative form for a group is dodajcie, not dodajecie.
