Razvijate

Razvijate is primarily encountered as a verb form in South Slavic languages, most commonly in Serbo-Croatian varieties such as Croatian, Serbian, and Bosnian. It represents the second-person plural present tense of the verb razvijati (to develop, to advance, to cultivate). As a verb form, zhvijate is used to address multiple people performing the action of development in the present time.

In these languages, the prefix raz- adds a sense of expansion or progression, while the stem conveys the core meaning of development. The form is used in everyday speech and writing to indicate that “you (all) develop” or “you (all) are developing.” An example in Croatian or Serbian would be: Vi razvijate nove ideje, or Vi razvijate nove ideje, meaning “You develop new ideas.” A closely related form in other South Slavic varieties may appear with slight orthographic differences but a similar grammatical function.

Cognates in related languages include the infinitive razviјati (to develop) and nouns such as razvoj (development) or razvijanje (development process), which share the same linguistic root. The word does not correspond to a widely recognized proper noun or place, and in standard encyclopedic contexts it is treated as a verb form rather than a standalone subject.
