Fungujete

Fungujete is the second-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb fungovat, which means to function, operate, or work. The form is used when addressing more than one person, or in formal address to a group, to ask or state that something is functioning or performing as expected. It can refer to machines, systems, processes, institutions, or people functioning in a given role.

Grammatical notes: fungovat is a regular -ovat verb in Czech. Present tense forms include já funguju (or funguji), ty funguješ, vy fungujete, with other persons forming as usual (on/ona/ono funguje, my fungujeme, oni fungují). The imperative forms are funguj (singular) and fungujte (plural). The word fungujete specifically appears in contexts where a group or polite form is being addressed.

Usage: fungujete is common in technical, operational, and everyday language to describe whether something is working properly, or to inquire about functioning in a social or organizational context. It can be used literally, as in devices and systems, or figuratively, describing how a team, process, or institution operates. For example: "Jak fungujete jako tým?" (How do you function as a team?) "Fungujete správně po poslední aktualizaci?" (Are you functioning correctly after the latest update?) "Vy fungujete spolehlivě." (You function reliably.)

Cross-linguistic note: while Czech shares roots with other Slavic languages, fungovat is a distinct Czech verb. The form fungujete serves as a clear indicator of second-person plural present tense and is a common tool in both formal and informal discourse to discuss performance and operation.
