Breakdown of Zrób miejsce przy stole, proszę.
Questions & Answers about Zrób miejsce przy stole, proszę.
Zrób is the imperative form of zrobić (to do / to make, perfective).
- zrób = do it / make it happen
- rób = imperative of robić (imperfective)
In this sentence, Polish prefers the perfective imperative because the speaker wants a completed result: create some space. So zrób miejsce means something like make room.
If you said rób miejsce, it could sound more like:
- be making room
- start making room
- or a repeated/process-focused action
For a normal one-time request, zrób miejsce is the more natural choice.
Yes, very much. Zrobić miejsce is a common Polish expression meaning:
- make room
- move over
- clear some space
So even though it is literally make a place/space, it functions as a natural idiomatic phrase, just like English make room.
