Questions & Answers about Pokaż mi te zdjęcia z plaży.
What does Pokaż mean and what is its grammatical function?
Pokaż is the second-person singular imperative form of the verb pokazać (“to show”). It’s a direct command meaning “Show…” addressed to one person.
How do you form the imperative of pokazać and why is it pokaż here?
To make the singular informal imperative of pokazać, you take the 3rd-person plural stem (-ają → pokaz-), drop the -ą, and add -ż:
- pokaz
- -ż → pokaż.
If you were speaking to multiple people you’d say pokażcie (add -cie for 2nd-person plural).
- -ż → pokaż.
