následujete

Následujete is a Czech verb form meaning “you follow.” It is the present indicative, second person plural form of the verb následovat (to follow). In a sentence, it corresponds to “you (all) follow” or “you are following” in English, with the subject often understood as vy (you, plural or formal).

Morphology and related forms: The form derives from the stem následuj- with the present-tense ending -jete, marking second-person plural. The singular forms are následuji (I follow) and následuješ (you follow, singular), while následuje and následují correspond to he/she/it follows and they follow, respectively. The imperative for you all is následujte (follow!).

Usage and examples: Následujete mě. means “You are following me.” Následujete plán? means “Are you following the plan?” The verb is common in everyday Czech, in both spoken and written contexts, including directions, instructions, and narration where a group is being addressed.

Etymology and related forms: Následovat comes from a Czech root related to following after, with the form linked to the wider Slavic family and its development of imperfective “to follow.” The related adjectives and nouns include následující (following, subsequent) and následujování (following, subsequence).

Translations and equivalents: In English, “you follow.” In other languages, the equivalents include German ihr folgt, French vous suivez, Spanish seguís. The precise form depends on the language’s handling of person and number.
