odwiedzaj

Odwiedzaj is a Polish verb form: it is the second-person singular imperative (informal) of the imperfective verb odwiedzać, which means to visit or drop by. In Polish, the imperfective aspect conveys repetition or ongoing action, so when used as an imperative, odwiedzaj can express habitual visiting or a general encouragement to visit rather than a single, completed act. The corresponding imperative form for a single, completed visit from the perfective verb odwiedzić is odwiedź.

Odwiedzaj is used in instructions, guidelines, and everyday speech to urge someone to visit someone or someplace regularly. The standard imperative forms are odwiedzaj (singular), odwiedzajcie (plural), and the related invitation odwiedzajmy (let’s visit). In context, it often carries a sense of continuity or habit rather than a one-off event.

Examples:

- Odwiedzaj babcię co tydzień. (Visit grandma every week.)

- Odwiedzajcie znajomych, gdy macie wolny czas. (Visit your friends when you have time.)

- Odwiedzajmy nowe miejsca podczas wakacji. (Let’s visit new places during the holidays.)

Related forms and cognates:

- odwiedzać (imperfective): the infinitive from which odwiedzaj is derived.

- odwiedzić (perfective): the single, completed visit form, whose imperative is odwiedź.

- nouns related to the act of visiting include odwiedziny and odwiedzanie.

Odwiedzaj functions as a practical imperative in Polish, used to encourage ongoing or habitual visits and appearing in both casual and formal guidance contexts.
