letíme

Letíme is a form of the Czech verb letět, meaning to fly. It is the present tense, first-person plural, translating as “we fly” or “we are flying.” The word can refer to actual flight by an aircraft, but it may also be used in a broader sense to describe rapid movement depending on context.

Grammatically, letět is an imperfective verb with the stem let-. The present tense forms are: já letím, ty letíš, on/ona/ono letí, my letíme, vy letíte, oni letí. The third-person singular and plural share the same form letí, with the subject clarified by context.

In usage, letíme typically describes ongoing action in the present or near future. For a definite future plan or a completed flight, Czech commonly uses poletíme, a perfective form indicating a single, forthcoming departure. Examples: Letíme do Prahy. Poletíme zítra ráno. The infinitive letět is used to speak about the act in general, and past tense forms include letěl jsem, letěla jsi, letělo to, and so on, depending on gender and number.

Letíme is a standard present-tense form in everyday Czech, appearing in travel conversations, narratives, and instructional contexts. Related verbs include letět (the base verb) and poletět (to fly off, to depart by flying, in a future or completed sense).
