zredukuj

Zredukuj is the second-person singular imperative form of the Polish verb zredukować, meaning to reduce or lessen. It is used to give a direct instruction to someone you are addressing to decrease a quantity, size, complexity, or intensity. The prefix z- indicates a completed or resulting change, and the verb is formed in the perfective aspect, signaling a single, focused action.

In practice, zredukuj appears in instructions, manuals, and everyday speech when a reduction is requested or required. It can target concrete objects (for example, reducing the size of a file) as well as more abstract quantities (such as reducing the number of errors or steps in a process). Examples include: Zredukuj objętość pliku, Zredukuj liczbę błędów w kodzie, Zredukuj czas odpowiedzi systemu.

Morphology and related forms: The infinitive is zredukować. The imperative for the second person plural is zredukujcie, and in negative form it follows regular Polish negation: nie zredukuj (ty) or nie zredukujcie (wy). The verb belongs to the closed, perfective aspect, intended for actions viewed as complete once performed. Related nouns include redukcja and related verbs include redukować.

Notes: Zredukuj is primarily a directive form used in formal or informal instruction. It is distinct from non-imperative forms such as redukuje (present tense) or zredukować in other tenses. The term is part of standard Polish and is understood across contexts where measurement, optimization, or simplification is discussed.
