Souhlasíte

Souhlasíte is a Czech word that translates to "do you agree" or "are you in agreement" in English. It is a polite and common way to seek confirmation or assent from one or more people. The word is a second-person plural form of the verb souhlasit, meaning "to agree."

When used in conversation, "souhlasíte?" typically follows a proposal, suggestion, or statement, inviting the listener(s) to express their accord. For example, someone might say, "Půjdeme dnes večer do kina? Souhlasíte?" which means "Shall we go to the cinema tonight? Do you agree?" The response could be "Ano, souhlasím" (Yes, I agree) if speaking as an individual, or "Ano, souhlasíme" (Yes, we agree) if speaking for a group.

The opposite of agreeing is disagreeing, which in Czech can be expressed by "nesouhlasím" (I disagree) or "nesouhlasíme" (we disagree). The formality of "souhlasíte?" is generally considered polite and appropriate in most social and professional contexts in the Czech Republic. It reflects a desire for consensus and mutual understanding. The word is fundamental to everyday communication, enabling smooth interactions and decision-making processes.
