Nestanovíme

Nestanovíme is a Czech verb form meaning "we will not determine" or "we will not establish." It is the negated form of stanovíme, the first-person plural future form of the verb stanovit (to determine, to set). The prefix ne- expresses negation, and in Czech, it attaches to the full verb form to form a negated statement.

Usage and context: Nestanovíme is used mainly in formal or official contexts such as policy statements, project planning, or negotiations, where a group says it will not specify certain rules, criteria, limits, or standards at a given moment. The construction can convey postponement, flexibility, or a negotiating stance, often inviting further discussion before binding details are fixed.

Examples: Nestanovíme dnes žádná pevná pravidla. Nestanovíme limity bez širšího souhlasu. In English: "We will not establish strict rules today" and "We will not set the limits without broader consensus."

Related forms: The positive counterpart is stanovíme (we will determine). The root verb is stanovit (to determine/establish). The negation can also be expressed with broader wording such as nebudeme stanovovat in less formal or clearer style. See also: stanovovat, stanovit, ne- prefix.
