Objasníme

Objasníme is a Czech verb form derived from objasnit, meaning to explain or clarify. It functions primarily as the first-person plural future tense, expressing “we will explain.” In a more exhortative sense, the same form is written with a capital initial as Objasněme and used as a suggestion or command in the sense of “let us explain” or “let us clarify.”

Morphology and etymology: the prefix ob- adds emphasis to the root jasnit (to become clear), giving the sense of making things clear or thorough. As a perfective verb, objasnit yields a finite future form such as objasníme for “we will explain.” The pronunciation and diacritics indicate the nuance between the indicative future and the hortative imperative variant Objasněme.

Usage: objasníme appears in formal and semi-formal contexts where an explanation is to follow. It is common in academic writing, journalism, presentations, and discussions that proceed to clarification. The form is often followed by a clause specifying what will be explained, for example: Objasníme postup, jak systém funguje. Objázněme proč se situace změnila is another common construction in which the intent is to present a clarification.
