Spójrz na ten wykres, proszę.

Spójrz is the imperative form of spojrzeć. It is 2nd person singular, so it is used when speaking to one person.

In other words, spójrz already means look addressed to you. Polish usually does not need to say the subject pronoun, so there is no need to add ty.

This is mainly about aspect and nuance.

• spojrzeć is perfective: it suggests one complete act of looking, like take a look
• patrzeć is imperfective: it suggests looking continuously or watching

So:

• Spójrz na ten wykres = Take a look at this graph
• Patrz na ten wykres = more like Look at this graph / Keep looking at this graph

In this sentence, spójrz sounds very natural because the speaker wants the listener to direct their attention to the graph.

Because with verbs like spojrzeć and patrzeć, Polish normally uses the pattern:

• spojrzeć na coś
• patrzeć na coś

So na is the standard preposition meaning at in this kind of sentence.

You are not just saying look in general; you are saying look at something specific.

Wykres is a masculine singular inanimate noun, so the demonstrative this is ten.

After na, the noun goes into the accusative case. But for masculine inanimate singular nouns, the accusative is the same as the nominative. So:

• nominative: ten wykres
• accusative: ten wykres

That is why nothing changes on the surface.

A useful comparison:

• ten wykres = this graph
• tę tabelę = this table

Here tabela is feminine, so the form changes more visibly.

Wykres usually means a graph, chart, or plot used to show data.

The best English translation depends on context:

• line graph
• bar chart
• mathematical plot
• data graph

It does not usually mean just any kind of picture or drawing. For that, Polish would use other words such as rysunek or obrazek.

Here proszę means please.

It makes the sentence sound more polite and softer. Compare:

• Spójrz na ten wykres. = direct
• Spójrz na ten wykres, proszę. = more polite

A useful thing to remember is that proszę has several meanings in Polish, depending on context. It can mean:

• please
• here you are
• go ahead
• you’re welcome

But in this sentence, it is simply a politeness marker: please.

Because here proszę is being used like a parenthetical politeness word, similar to adding please at the end in English.

So standard punctuation is:

• Spójrz na ten wykres, proszę.

This is different from a structure like:

• Proszę spojrzeć na ten wykres.

In that sentence, proszę is part of the main verbal structure and is not separated by a comma.

So the comma helps show how proszę is functioning in the sentence.

Because Polish often leaves out subject pronouns when they are already clear from the verb form.

The form spójrz already tells you that the speaker is talking to one person. Adding ty is usually unnecessary.

If you did say Ty spójrz na ten wykres, it would sound marked or emphatic, as if you were stressing you.

Spójrz is the singular imperative, so it sounds like you are speaking directly to one person. In many contexts, that feels informal.

If you want to be more formal in Polish, you would usually say something like:

• Proszę spojrzeć na ten wykres.
• Niech pan spojrzy na ten wykres.
• Niech pani spojrzy na ten wykres.

So the original sentence is polite because of proszę, but the verb form itself is still the direct singular imperative.

You would use the plural imperative:

• Spójrzcie na ten wykres, proszę.

So:

• spójrz = look, one person
• spójrzcie = look, more than one person

That is a very common imperative pattern in Polish.

Yes. Polish word order is fairly flexible, though some orders sound more neutral than others.

The most neutral version here is:

• Spójrz na ten wykres, proszę.

Other possible versions include:

• Proszę, spójrz na ten wykres.
• Spójrz, proszę, na ten wykres.

These all mean basically the same thing, but the emphasis and rhythm change slightly.

So yes, word order can move around, but the original sentence is a very natural and standard way to say it.

This is a tricky word for English speakers because of the consonant cluster.

A rough approximation is spooysh.

A few points:

• ó sounds like u, similar to oo in food
• final rz is pronounced like a sh-type sound here because of final devoicing
• the whole word is short and compact

If you want a more technical pronunciation, it is approximately:

• [spujʂ]

So the word is short, with one strong vowel sound and a tight ending.
