reguluj

Reguluj is the second-person singular imperative form of the Polish verb regulować, meaning to regulate, adjust, or standardize. It is used to give a direct instruction or command to one person to set something to a desired state or parameter. The same verb also yields forms such as regulujcie (plural) and regulujmy (let us regulate).

In Polish, regulować is an imperfective verb, so reguluj expresses an ongoing or general action rather than a completed one. It commonly appears in technical, administrative, and everyday contexts where a set of settings, rules, or conditions must be brought into compliance. Typical objects of regulation include temperature, speed, power, and other controllable parameters. Examples: Reguluj temperaturę w pomieszczeniu. Reguluj prędkość pojazdu zgodnie z ograniczeniami. Reguluj ustawienia urządzenia przed użyciem.

Etymologically, regulować derives from the root regul- connected to Latin regula, meaning rule or standard. The imperative form reguluj reflects standard Polish verb conjugation patterns for second-person singular commands.

Usage notes: in formal or polite contexts, speakers may avoid a direct imperative and instead use phrases like Proszę regulować... (Please regulate...) to soften the instruction. The form reguluj jest most appropriate in direct instructions, manuals, safety guidelines, and casual speech where a clear action is requested from a single addressee.
