In use, stoupnete refers to “you (plural) rise” or “you (formal singular) rise” when addressing more than one person or using the formal address vy.

Semantically, stoupnout covers a range of meanings from physical movement to a higher position (to step up onto a platform) to an increase in quantities or levels (prices, temperatures, statistics) or more abstract progress (morale, performance). The word commonly appears in news, economics, weather reports, and instructional or descriptive prose when specifying that a group is being addressed and that the action of rising or increasing is occurring or will occur.

Etymologically, stoupnete derives from the stem stoup- with standard Czech verb affixes, aligning with related forms such as stoupnout (to rise) and stoupat (to rise, imperfective). The noun form stoupnutí refers to the act of rising or increasing.
