Platíte

Platíte is a Czech verb form derived from platit, meaning to pay or to be valid. It is the present tense form used with the second person plural and with the formal singular you. In Czech, the pronoun vy is used for both plural and formal singular, so platíte corresponds to “you pay” in these contexts.

Platít also has two common senses. In the sense of paying money, it appears in sentences like Platíte nájem každý měsíc. In the sense of being in effect or valid, the form platí is used (for example, Smlouva platí do konce roku). The meaning is usually clear from surrounding words and context.

Conjugation in the present tense: já platím, ty platíš, on/ona/ono platí, my platíme, vy platíte, oni platí. The verb is imperfective; future and past forms are built with different constructions, such as budu platit or zaplatit. The imperative is plať (singular) and plaťte (plural).

Etymology and related forms: platit comes from Proto-Slavic *platiti; cognates include Polish płacić and Russian платить. Related Czech nouns include platba (payment) and platnost (validity).
