Posilujete

Posilujete is the second person plural present tense form of the Czech verb posilovat, meaning to strengthen, fortify, or boost. It is used when addressing more than one person (vy) or in formal address to a single person, and it translates roughly to “you are strengthening” or “you strengthen.” The verb can refer to physical training as well as to strengthening in non-physical contexts, such as immunity, finances, or a position.

Grammatical notes: Posilovat is imperfective, so the present tense describes ongoing or habitual action. The form posilujete uses the stem posiluj- with the ending -ete to mark the second person plural. Related forms include posilují (they strengthen) and posilujeme (we strengthen). The related perfective verb posílit yields a future form for the second person plural, such as posílíte (you will strengthen).

Usage and context: Posilujete is common in both everyday and instructional language. It can describe physical conditioning, for example posilujete svaly pravidelným cvičením (you strengthen your muscles with regular exercise), or non-physical strengthening, such as posilujete imunitu zdravým životním stylem (you strengthen your immunity with a healthy lifestyle) or posilujete postavení firmy.

Etymology and related terms: The verb is built around the concept of strength, with related forms such as posílení (strengthening) and posílit (to strengthen, in a perfective sense). In Czech, many verbs of this pattern are used across concrete and abstract domains to express increasing or reinforcing actions.
