Nachádzate

Nachádzate is a verb form in the Slovak language. It is the present tense, second person plural (vy) form of the verb nachádzať, which can be used with or without the reflexive particle sa. When used with sa, nachádzate expresses location or being situated; without sa, it functions in a non-reflexive sense meaning “you find” in a transitive construction. The form therefore serves both locational questions and statements, as well as general discovery or search of objects, depending on the sentence.

In locational usage, nachádzate appears in questions and statements about where someone or something is located. A common example is Kde sa nachádzate? which translates to “Where are you located?” This construction is frequent in formal speech, written communication, and public interaction, including travel, administration, and customer service.

In non-reflexive usage, nachádzate is the second person plural form of nachádzať meaning “you find” or “you are finding.” It governs a direct object. For example: Nachádzate nové dokumenty v archíve? “Are you finding new documents in the archive?” This sense appears in contexts involving search, discovery, or retrieval of items.

Overall, nachádzate is a standard, widely understood form in Slovak grammar, identifiable by its -áte ending and its dual potential in locational versus transitive usage. It illustrates how Slovak verb forms can shift meaning based on reflexivity and sentence structure.
