koduj

Koduj is the second-person singular imperative form of the Polish verb kodować, meaning to code or to encode. In instruction, education, and motivational contexts, koduj is used to directly address someone and urge them to start or continue programming. For example, one might encounter phrases like “Koduj w Pythonie” or “Koduj codziennie.”

The verb kodować is formed from the noun kod (code) plus the common Polish verbal suffix -ować, placing it among typical -ować verbs that describe actions or activities. In the present tense, conjugation is regular: ja koduję, ty kodujesz, on koduje, my kodujemy, wy kodujecie, oni kodują. In imperative mood, the forms include koduj (you, singular), kodujmy (let’s code), and kodujcie (you, plural).

Usage notes: koduj appears most often in educational materials, coding tutorials, workshops, and promotional slogans encouraging programming. It is not a noun itself; instead, it functions as a command or exhortation. When used with a programming language or environment, it typically takes the form “Koduj w [język]” (code in [language]), such as “Koduj w Pythonie” or “Koduj w JavaScript.”
