trazer - imperative

[Encolpius]

Hello, my question is simple. What's the imperative from trazer?
Traz! or Traze!
(Oxford Portuguese Minidictionary: Traze!)
Or maybe both are correct? Or maybe Brazil / Portugal??
Thanks a lot.

A similar question has been asked before and all members of this forum said the preferred form should be diz for dizer and traz for trazer.

I think that, officially, the correct form is "traze", but the most used one (at least in Brazil) is "traz".

 

[jazyk]

"0fficially" both are "authorized".

"Traze" is now obsolete. You will only find it in old literature.

Thank you for your enlightenment. I didn't know that.

In my opinion you didn't clarify the person and mode (afirmative/negative) you wanted to have. My diccionary points out:
Afirmative
traz/traze TU (both are correct)
traga VOCE/ELE/ELA
tragamos nós
trazei vós
tragam VOCÊS/ELES/ELAS

Negative
NÃO tragas TU
traga VOCÊ/ELE/ELA
tragamos NÓS
tragais VÓS
tragam VOCÊS/ELES/ELAS

OBS:
If my memory doesn't betraid me, I remeber that to conjugate the afirmative mode you have to know two tenses: indicative present, and subjunctive present. In the afirmative mode, the second person (singular and plural) you have to bring from the indicative tense, but cutting the final "s". The rest you bring from the subjunctive present, exactly how they are.
The negative form you have to bring all the persons exactly as they are in the subjunctive present.

no one says or writes traze. everyone uses traz and that's what they teach you in school. traze is very very very obsolete

I think the use of traze is an occasional Brazilian artifact of not using the 2nd person present singular form of trazer, which is trazes.

The actual imperitave form in usage is just traz, everywhere afaik.
Imperativo:
--
traz
traga
tragamos
trazei
tragam

Nope. I've never heard traze in Brazil. I've only seen it in some old books.
