Raziskujete

Raziskujete is a Slovenian verb form that translates as “you (plural) research” or “you are researching.” It is the second-person plural present tense of the verb raziskovati, which means to research or to investigate. The infinitive is raziskovati; the form shown here is built from the stem razisk- with the ending -ujete, a typical ending for the 2nd person plural in the present tense.

Etymology and structure: The verb is formed from the prefix raz- added to iskovati (to seek), giving a sense of thorough or systematic investigation. The pair with a perfective counterpart raziskati expresses a completed research action in contexts that require a definite result. Raziskovati is generally considered imperfective, used for ongoing or repeated research activities, while raziskati signals a completed act when appropriate.

Usage: Raziskujete is used when addressing more than one person, or in a formal address, to discuss current or planned research work. Examples: “Kaj raziskujete?” (What are you researching?) and “Vi raziskujete nove metode.” (You are researching new methods.)

Grammatical notes: In Slovenian, other persons and tenses of this verb exist by altering the ending or using related forms. A related perfective form is raziskati, which is used to express completed research actions in contexts requiring a definite result. The word reflects typical Slovenian verb morphology with prefixes that convey aspect and meaning. See also Slovenian grammar of verbs and the pair raziskovati/raziskati for more detail.
