przeczytajmy

"Przczytajmy" is a Polish word that translates to "let's read" in English. It is a verb in the imperative mood, second-person plural form, derived from the infinitive "czytać," meaning "to read." The prefix "prze-" can add a sense of completeness, thoroughness, or a change in state to the verb. Therefore, "przeczytajmy" can imply "let's read it thoroughly" or "let's finish reading it."

The word is commonly used in informal settings to suggest a shared reading activity or to encourage someone to read something. For instance, a parent might say "Przeczytajmy tę książkę razem" (Let's read this book together) to their child. It can also be used in a more general sense, like "Przeczytajmy artykuł i omówmy go później" (Let's read the article and discuss it later).

The grammatical structure of "przeczytajmy" is important for understanding its meaning. The "-my" ending signifies the first-person plural imperative, meaning "let us." When combined with the "prze-" prefix and the root "czytaj," it forms a complete imperative command for a group to undertake the act of reading, often with the implication of completing the task or reading attentively. The word is a simple yet versatile expression in everyday Polish conversation.
