Ustanovujeme

Ustanovujeme is the first-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb ustanovat, meaning to establish, set up, or appoint. As an imperfective verb, it denotes an ongoing or repeated action: we establish or we are establishing. The perfective counterpart is ustanovit; its present-tense form (ustanovíme) refers to a single act or a future action: we will establish.

Usage and contexts: The term is common in formal, administrative, and legal language. It is used when describing the act of founding organisations, instituting rules, or appointing bodies or positions. In everyday speech, speakers may use the imperfective form to indicate ongoing processes, such as drafting rules or creating committees.

Grammatical notes: This form is used with a plural subject (we). Related forms include the imperfective verb ustanovat (to establish, to set up) and the perfective ustanovit (to establish, to appoint), whose present tense form ustanovíme expresses a future act. Nouns related to this family include ustanovení, meaning a provision, regulation, or stipulation.
