precyzuj

Precyzuj is the second-person singular imperative form of the Polish verb precyzować. It means to specify, clarify, or make something more precise. The form is commonly used in instructions, editing, and advisory contexts when someone is asked to provide additional details or to remove ambiguity.

In usage, precyzować and its imperative precyzuj are closely related to the verb sprecyzować. Both convey making something precise or clear, with minor stylistic differences depending on context. Some speakers reserve precyzować for more formal or technical language, while sprecyzować may be more common in everyday speech, but the meanings overlap significantly. The imperative form precyzuj is typically addressed to a single person; for addressing several people or in formal contexts, forms like precyzujcie or other polite constructions are used.

Etymologically, precyzować is linked to the Polish words precyzyjny (precise) and precyzja (precision). The term combines the prefix pre- with a root related to precision, and the verbal suffix -ować to form an active verb meaning “to make precise.”

Grammatically, precyzuj functions as an active instruction to specify or clarify. It appears in sentences that request or demand more exact information, such as in contractual discussions, technical documentation, or editorial work. It is often paired with nouns describing the details to be clarified, for example, “precyzuj szczegóły,” “precyzuj warunki,” or “precyzuj, o jakie dane chodzi.” See also: sprecyzować, precyzja.
