Klesáte

Klesáte is the second-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb klesat, meaning to descend, fall, or decline. It is used when addressing more than one person (vy) and describing a downward movement or reduction that applies to the subject.

Klesat is a regular -at verb in Czech and follows the standard present-tense conjugation pattern. The present forms are: já klesám, ty klesáš, on/ona/ono klesá, my klesáme, vy klesáte, oni klesají. The form klesáte specifically corresponds to the second person plural.

Usage and nuance: klesáte is typically used to describe trends, changes, or movements that decrease or deteriorate. It may refer to prices, numbers, rankings, temperatures, or other measurable quantities. It is common in economic, statistical, sports, and news contexts. The verb is intransitive and is often accompanied by prepositional phrases indicating the aspect or destination of the decline, such as "klesáte na desáté místo" (you drop to the tenth place) or "klesáte v hodnotě" (you decrease in value).

Related forms: the infinitive is klesat, the perfective counterpart is klesnout, and the present active participle is klesající. The form klesáte reflects standard Czech morphology for -at verbs in the 2nd person plural.
