Míváme

Míváme is a Czech verb form. It is the first-person plural imperfective present tense of the verb mívat. The verb mívat itself is a frequentative form derived from the verb mít, which means "to have". Frequentative verbs in Czech, like mívat, indicate a repeated or habitual action. Therefore, míváme translates to "we often have" or "we used to have" depending on the context, implying a recurring possession or experience in the past or a general habit.

The imperfective aspect of míváme signifies that the action is ongoing, habitual, or incomplete. This distinguishes it from the perfective aspect. For example, "Míváme dobré počasí v létě" translates to "We often have good weather in the summer," highlighting a recurring pattern. In contrast, a perfective form would describe a single, completed event.

The first-person plural conjugation, indicated by the ending "-áme", specifically refers to "we". Thus, míváme is used when the speaker and at least one other person are collectively performing or experiencing the action of "having" habitually. Understanding the nuance between mívat and mít, as well as the implications of the imperfective aspect, is key to correctly using and interpreting míváme in Czech sentences.
