wydaj

Wydaj is a Polish verb form that functions as the second-person singular imperative of the perfective verb wydać. In English, it corresponds to commands such as “issue,” “release,” or “publish.” The form is used when directing someone to make something publicly available or officially issued, for example in administrative, publishing, or software-release contexts.

The related imperfective verb wydawać has a different imperative form, wydawaj, which conveys a sense of ongoing or repeated issuing. Thus wydaj is typically encountered in directives that refer to a specific action to be completed, rather than a standing process. The noun most closely linked to the concept is wydajność, meaning efficiency or throughput, and the adjective wydajny describes something that is efficient or high-performing.

Common examples include imperatives such as: Wydaj raport do końca dnia. (Issue the report by the end of the day.) Wydaj decyzję w tej sprawie. (Issue the decision on this matter.) Wydaj nową wersję oprogramowania. (Release a new version of the software.) These usages appear in formal or semi-formal communication, including corporate, governmental, and technical settings.

See also: wydać, wydawać, wydajność, wydajny. Wydaj as a linguistic form reflects Polish imperative syntax and the distinction between perfective and imperfective aspects in directive communications.
