konjugujú

Konjugujú is the third-person plural present tense form of the Slovak verb konjugovať, which means “to conjugate.” It denotes that they are performing the action of changing a verb to reflect person, number, tense, and mood in grammar.

In Slovak, konjugovať is a regular verb of the -ovať class. Its present tense forms are: ja konjugujem, ty konjuguješ, on konjuguje, my konjugujeme, vy konjugujete, oni konjugujú. The form konjugujú specifically corresponds to the subject plural “they.” These endings illustrate typical patterns for -ovať verbs in present tense.

Usage and context: konjugujú is commonly found in grammar explanations, language-learning materials, and linguistic descriptions that discuss how verbs take different forms. It is used to describe the activity of forming verb paradigms rather than to convey a particular action performed by a specific group.

Etymology: the verb konjugovať originates from the concept of forming verb forms and is linked historically to Latin coniugare (to conjoin or join together), with influence from intermediary European languages such as German konjugieren or French conjuguer in the development of the Slovak term.

Example: Oni konjugujú slovesá podľa času a spôsobu. This illustrates the act of conjugating verbs in accordance with tense and mood.
