przelicz

Przelicz is the imperative form of the Polish verb przeliczyć, meaning to count again, recalculate, or convert. It is used in mathematics, finance, computing, and everyday language to instruct someone to redo a calculation or to convert quantities.

Etymology and meaning: The word is built from the prefix prze- (indicating reversal, thoroughness, or repetition) and the verb liczyć (to count or to calculate). Together they convey performing a calculation once more or converting values from one unit or form to another.

Usage and forms: As a verb, przeliczyć denotes a completed action (to recalculate or to convert) in its perfective aspect. Its imperfective counterpart is przeliczać (to recalculate or repeatedly/ongoing). The imperative form przelicz is used to give a direct command, for example to a colleague to recalculate a figure. Other forms include przeliczmy (let us recalculate) and przeliczcie (you plural or formal singular, recalculate). Common usage covers recalculating sums, updating figures in a table, or converting measurements and currencies.

Examples: Przelicz wartości w kolumnie. (Recalculate the values in the column.) Przelicz koszty projektu. (Recalculate the project costs.) Przeliczmy to jeszcze raz. (Let us recalculate this again.)

Related terms: Liczyć (to count), przeliczyć (to recalculate or convert), przelicznik (converter or multiplier), and przeliczeniowy (relating to conversion or recalculation). The term is widely understood in Polish-language contexts involving data analysis, budgeting, and technical calculations.
