stwarzajcie

Stwarzajcie is a Polish verb form: the second-person plural present imperative of the imperfective verb stwarzać, meaning to create, bring into existence, fashion, or conjure. It expresses an exhortation to a group to perform creation or to act in a constitutive way, often with a sense of ongoing or habitual action. Its imperfective aspect contrasts with the perfective counterpart stworzyć, whose second-person plural imperative is stwórzcie and refers to a completed act of creation.

Etymology and related forms: the form derives from the root stwar‑ and is connected with nouns such as stworzenie (creation) and Stwórca (Creator). The verb appears in literary and formal Polish and remains usable in religious, ceremonial, and rhetorical contexts.

Usage and nuance: stwarzajcie is more common in poetic, exhortative, or ancient-style language, where the emphasis is on the act of creating rather than on the result. In everyday speech, speakers more often use the perfective imperative stwórzcie when a single, definite act of creation is intended. Negative form: nie stwarzajcie.

Examples:

- Stwarzajcie możliwości wszystkim, a nie ograniczenia. (Create opportunities for everyone, not limitations.)

- W poezji bywa używane jako wezwanie do kształtowania świata: stwarzajcie świat, w którym dobro zwycięża nad złem. (In poetry it is used as a call to shape a world where good triumphs over evil.)
