jedete

Jedete is the present tense form of the Czech verb jet, meaning to go or travel by vehicle. It is used with the second person plural subject vy, and can also be used when addressing a single person formally. The form jedete is written without diacritics; the corresponding imperative form is jeďte, with a háček on ě.

Conjugation in the present tense of jet is: já jedu; ty jedeš; on/ona/ono jede; my jedeme; vy jedete; oni jedou. This pattern is used to describe a current movement or planned travel when addressing multiple people or a polite singular.

Usage notes: Jet conveys motion by vehicle or other transport. It is often contrasted with jezdit, which expresses repeated, habitual, or multi-visit movement (to go by vehicle in a recurring way). For example, Kde jedete? (Where are you going?) vs Jezdíte do Práhy každý týden? (Do you go to Prague every week?, habitual). The form jedete specifically targets you all or a formal you, rather than one person informally.

Examples: Kam jedete dnes večer? (Where are you going this evening?) Vy jedete autobusem do Brna. (You are going to Brno by bus.) Když jedete autem, dávejte pozor na rychlost. (If you are going by car, pay attention to speed.)

In summary, jedete is a key present-tense form used for addressing two or more people (or a formal single person) when describing current or near-future travel by vehicle.
