obchodzicie

Obchodzicie is a verb form associated with the act of trading or doing business. It is linked to the Slavic noun obchod, meaning trade or shop, and reflects the way verbs can derive from a related noun to express activity in present-tense constructions.

In standard Czech and Slovak, the present-tense second-person plural forms are obchodujete in both languages. The spelling obchodzicie is not a standard form in contemporary Czech or Slovak, and may appear only in historical texts, dialectal writing, or as a transcription variant where diacritics are omitted. When encountered in such contexts, the word is generally understood to convey the meaning “you trade” or “you do business.”

Usage notes: as a second-person plural present tense, this form would be used to address multiple interlocutors directly about their trading activity or business conduct. In modern standard usage, speakers would typically use obchodujete (Czech) or obchodujete (Slovak) to convey the same sense. The presence of z versus d and the absence of diacritics can lead to variations in spelling in older or regional texts, but they do not reflect a separate lexical item.
