rozstrzygnite

Rozstrzygnite is not a standard form in contemporary Polish. It is commonly encountered as a misspelling or nonstandard variant of the plural imperative rozstrzygnijcie, which is the second-person plural form of the verb rozstrzygnąć (to decide, to settle, to determine). The correct spelling includes the letter j after the stem rozstrzygn-, yielding rozstrzygnijcie.

Etymology and related forms: The verb rozstrzygnąć belongs to a family formed with the prefix roz- combined with the verb rozstrzygać (imperfective) and its perfective partner rozstrzygnąć. The noun corresponding to the action is rozstrzygnięcie, meaning a decision, ruling, or resolution. Other related forms include rozstrzygać (to determine, to decide in the sense of ongoing action) and rozstrzygnąć (to make a decisive decision).

Usage: The proper imperative rozstrzygnijcie is used to issue a command to a group of people to decide or settle something. For example: Rozstrzyjnijcie ten spór do końca dnia. (Please settle this dispute by the end of the day.) In neutral or formal writing, one would instead use a declarative form such as Musimy rozstrzygnąć to zagadnienie (We must decide this issue) or Rozstrzygnięcie tej sprawy nastąpi wkrótce (The resolution of this matter will follow soon).

Notes: Because rozstrzygnite is not recognized as a standard form, it may appear in errors, informal texts, or as a typographical mistake. Polish learners are advised to use rozstrzygnijcie for the plural imperative and rozstrzygnąć for the infinitive.
