Objavujú

Objavujú is a form of the Slovak verb objavovať in the present tense for third person plural. The verb objavovať is imperfective and primarily means to discover, reveal, or find out, often emphasizing ongoing or repeated action. In some contexts, objavovať can also mean to appear or emerge, especially when used with a reflexive pronoun (objavujú sa = they appear).

Usage and nuance

Objavovať is used when discussing discoveries, discoveries becoming known, or ongoing processes of uncovering information. It can describe scientific or investigative activity as well as the emergence of phenomena. When used without the reflexive sa, it generally means they discover or reveal something. With the reflexive form objavujú sa, it describes things that appear or come into view.

Examples

Objavujú nové fakty. (They are discovering / New facts are being discovered.)

Objavujú sa nové fakty. (New facts are appearing.)

Objavujú sa prvé príznaky projektu, ktoré treba sledovať. (The first signs of the project are appearing/being observed.)

Conjugation (present tense)

Ja objavujem; Ty objavuješ; On/ona/to objavuje; My objavujeme; Vy objavujete; Oni objavujú.

Related forms
