"Invoke" usually means to appeal to something, like a law or a power, for help, so that translates to "powoływać się na."

"Evoke," is about bringing something to mind, like memories or emotions, which would be "przywoływać" or "wywoływać."

to commission something usually means to officially hire someone to create something special for you, like a piece of art or a custom product. Ordering, on the other hand, is more about purchasing something that already exists or is readily available

'to affect' means to produce a change in something, to influence it. 'To impact' is, again, similar, but implies a stronger, more significant influence, sometimes with a touch of force to it, like striking something.

"Rise" means something goes up itself, like "the sun rises." "Raise" means you are lifting something up, like "you raise your hand."—

"Wrong" can be all three. You can say something is "wrong" (adjective), talk about doing a "wrong" to someone (noun), or say that someone "wronged" you by treating you unfairly (verb).

"brag" can sound a bit more crude or exaggerated, often with a negative connotation. "Boast" can sometimes be used in a slightly more positive way, like when a company mentions a feature of its product.

"Few", "fewer" i "fewest" używamy z rzeczownikami policzalnymi, czyli takimi, które możesz policzyć na sztuki. "little", "less" i "least" stosujemy z rzeczownikami niepoliczalnymi, czyli takimi, których nie da się podzielić na sztuki.

"plenty" often has a feeling of "more than enough," you know, like there's an abundance. "A lot of" is more neutral and just means a big number or amount.

As a noun, it's the feeling of guilt, often caused by someone else. And as a verb, it's when someone makes you feel guilty to get what they want.
