Zvolíte

Zvolíte is the second-person plural present-tense form of the Czech verb zvolit, meaning to elect, choose, or appoint. It is a perfective, transitive verb and takes a direct object in the accusative (for example zvolíte kandidáta, zvolíte cestu). In standard usage, zvolíte expresses a decision made now or in the near future, depending on context and time expressions.

Usage and meaning: Zvolit emphasizes the act of selecting or appointing someone or something, typically as a result of a vote or deliberate choice. It is commonly used in political, organizational, and administrative language to describe electing a person to a position or choosing a course of action. The verb contrasts with volit, which means to vote (as in participating in an election); zvolit focuses on the outcome of the selection itself. The related noun zvolení denotes the act of choosing or the result, i.e., the person or thing that has been chosen.

Grammatical notes: Zvolíte is one of several present-tense forms of zvolit. Other forms include zvolím (já), zvolíš (ty), zvolí (on/ona), zvolíme (my), zvolí(te) (oni/vy in some contexts). As a perfective verb, zvolit conveys a completed action; past forms are zvolil, zvolila, zvolili, and future constructions typically use the auxiliary bude zvolit or a present-tense form depending on context.

Examples: You (plural) choose a candidate: Zvolíte kandidáta. You will elect a new director: Zvolíte nového ředitele. You choose one of the options: Zvolíte si jednu z možností.

Translations: common equivalents include “you elect,” “you choose,” or “you will elect,” depending on context.
