wyrzucaj

Wyrzucaj is a Polish verb form that functions as the second-person singular imperative of the imperfective verb wyrzucać, meaning to throw away or discard. It is used to tell someone to dispose of items, remove objects, or otherwise discard things, and can be heard in everyday cleaning, organizing, and waste-management contexts. The form exemplifies how Polish Imperative mood is built from the verb stem with the appropriate suffix.

Morphology and related forms: the base imperfective verb is wyrzucać; its present-tense forms include wyrzucam, wyrzucasz, wyrzuca, wyrzucamy, wyrzucacie, wyrzucają. The imperative singular is wyrzucaj, and the plural is wyrzucajcie. The perfective counterpart is wyrzuć, used for a single, completed act of throwing away. The imperative forms align with standard Polish patterns for the imperfective verbs.

Usage notes: wyrzucaj is commonly used for physical disposal, such as throwing trash into a bin: “Wyrzucaj śmieci do kosza.” It can also be used in figurative sense, for example to tell someone to vent or release feelings: “Wyrzucaj z siebie negatywne emocje.” In contexts requiring a more definite, one-time action, wyrzuć is preferred.

See also: wyrzucać, wyrzuć, pozbywać się. Etymology: derived from wyrzucać, with the prefix wyr- indicating outward movement and the root zucać meaning to throw.
