Letíte

Letíte is a Czech verb form meaning you (plural) fly or you are flying. It is the present indicative, active voice, and belongs to the imperfective verb letět, which describes ongoing or habitual flying actions. The form is used when addressing more than one person or when speaking politely to a group.

In full present-tense conjugation of letět, the forms are: já letím, ty letíš, on/ona/ono letí, my letíme, vy letíte, oni letí. Letět is imperfective, so it denotes an activity viewed without reference to its termination; future or completed actions can be expressed with other tenses or with prefixed verbs.

Usage and examples: Letíte dnes večer do Prahy? (Are you flying to Prague tonight?) Letíte spolu s námi? (Are you flying with us?) The form can also appear in broader contexts involving birds or aircraft, as in Kachna letí vysokým nebem (The duck is flying high in the sky).

Prefixes and related forms: There are prefixed counterparts that express completed actions or specific directions, such as přiletět (to arrive by flying) and doletět (to manage to fly to a destination). These forms alter the aspect to perfective, indicating a single, completed flight in the future or past contexts. In Slovak, the corresponding form is letíte as well, reflecting similar grammatical usage in the two closely related languages.
