Ohrozím

Ohrozím is a Czech verb form meaning “I will threaten” or more broadly “I will endanger.” It is the first-person singular future tense of the perfective verb ohrozit, whose core meaning is to pose a threat or danger to someone or something.

Etymology and meaning

The verb ohrozit is built on the stem hroz- (to threaten) with the productive prefix o-, yielding a sense of causing danger or risk. It is distinct from hrozit, which means simply “to threaten” in a more general or ongoing sense. Ohrozit emphasizes the act of bringing about a threat or risk, often with a potential or intended effect.

Morphology and usage

Ohrozím is a finite, active, transitive verb in the future tense. The full conjugation in the present/future paradigm is: ohrozím, ohrozíš, ohrozí, ohrozíme, ohrozíte, ohrozí. Because ohrozit is perfective, its future forms express completed or deliberate action, rather than an ongoing state.

Semantic notes

Ohrozím is used in contexts where someone intends to or will cause harm, danger, or risk to people, property, or interests. It can be used literally (endangering physical safety) or figuratively (jeopardizing reputations, security, or stability). In many situations, alternative verbs such as vyhrožovat or hrozit may be chosen depending on nuance and emphasis.

Examples

- Pokud nebudou dodržena pravidla, ohrozím bezpečnost občanů.

- Chci ozřejmit záměr, abych nezpůsobil, že ohrozím důvěru veřejnosti.
