Hledáme

Hledáme is the first-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb hledat, meaning to look for or to search. It denotes that a group of speakers is actively seeking something. The word is common in everyday speech as well as in written Czech and is often used at the beginning of a sentence or as a heading to indicate what is being sought.

Grammatical notes and variations: Hledat is an imperfective verb, and Hledáme corresponds to “we are looking for.” The same verb family includes hledáš (you look for) and hledá (he/she/it looks for). In headlines and advertisements, Hledáme is frequently capitalized for emphasis, while in standard prose it appears lowercase at sentence start or within a sentence.

Usage and contexts: Hledáme is widely used in recruitment and classifieds to signal a search or invitation. Examples include Hledáme zaměstnance (We are looking for employees), Hledáme nové partnery (We are seeking new partners), and Hledáme byt (We are looking for an apartment). The phrase also appears in public notices, media banners, and promotional material when a group or organization is announcing a search for specific items, roles, or collaborations.
