zdobcie

Zdobcie is the second-person plural imperative form of the Polish verb zdobić, meaning to adorn or decorate. It is used to instruct a group of people to perform decoration or ornamentation. The form is part of standard Polish and can appear in formal, literary, ceremonial, or instructional contexts.

Grammatical notes: zdobić is an imperfective verb, and the imperative plural is formed by adding the ending -cie to the stem, yielding zdóbcie (spelled with ó). The related forms include the infinitive zdobić and the present tense forms such as zdobię (I adorn) and zdobią (they adorn). The imperative zdóbcie is primarily a command directed at multiple addressees.

Usage and register: zdóbcie is more likely to be found in written Polish, particularly in formal instructions, ceremonial language, historical texts, or poetic contexts. In everyday spoken Polish, speakers may prefer closer synonyms such as ozdóbcie (imperative of ozdobić “to decorate”) or alternative phrasings depending on tone and setting. The choice between zdóbcie and other decor-related imperatives can reflect nuance, formality, or regional usage.
