Korostujeme

Korostujeme is a Czech verb form, the first-person plural present tense of the verb korostovat. The verb means to emphasize, highlight, or underscore something, often used when drawing attention to a particular fact, risk, result, or factor. In usage, korostovat can convey a stronger sense of emphasis than synonyms like zdůrazňovat or zvýraznit, and it is frequently found in journalistic, academic, and policy contexts.

As a Czech imperfective verb, korostovat describes ongoing or repeated emphasis. The present tense forms include: já korostuju, ty korostuješ, on/ona/ono korostuje, my korostujeme, vy korostujete, oni korostují. The past tense is formed with the auxiliary být: já korostoval/a, ty korostoval/a, on/ona/ono korostoval/a, my korostovali/korostovaly, vy korostovali/korostovaly, oni korostovali. The participles and other derived forms follow standard Czech verb patterns for -ovat verbs.

Typical contexts for korostovat include academic arguments, risk assessments, and analyses where the writer seeks to guide the reader’s attention to the most significant factors. For example, “Ve studii korostujeme význam kvality dat pro výsledky” or “Autori korostují rizika spojená s nedostatečnou metodologií.” While closely related to zdůrazňovat, korostovat can carry a nuance of deliberate, pronounced emphasis.

Note: The word korostuje, the third-person singular form, is commonly used to say that something “intensifies” or “becomes more pronounced,” while korostujeme explicitly indicates the speaker’s inclusive action of emphasizing.
