This is the 2819th most frequent Polish word.
kazał
"He ordered" or "He told (someone to do something)."
The word 'kazał' is used to express giving an order or instruction.
Ojciec kazał synowi posprzątać pokój.
The father told his son to clean the room.
In this sentence, 'kazał' again signifies giving a directive, commonly used in a teacher's context.
Nauczyciel kazał uczniom odrobić zadanie domowe.
The teacher ordered the students to complete their homework.
Here, 'kazał' is used in a softer sense to convey strong advice or recommendation.
