odebíráme

Odebíráme is a form of the Czech verb odebírat, used as the first person plural present tense. The verb odebírat has several common meanings depending on context: to take away or withdraw something from someone or from a place; to collect or obtain, such as samples or data; and in a more economic or service sense, to subscribe to a regular delivery of a publication or service (odebírat noviny, časopisy, newsletter). In medical and scientific language it is frequently used in phrases like odebírat krev or odebírat vzorky, meaning to draw blood or to collect samples for analysis. In media or consumer contexts it denotes obtaining regular deliveries, for example odebírat předplatné novin or odebírat newsletter.

Usage notes and nuance: the sense of taking away generally implies a transfer from one party to another or from a stock, while the subscription sense emphasizes a regular, ongoing provision. The verb is widely used in formal and informal Czech, and its meaning is often clarified by the direct object or by surrounding words (for example krev, vzorky, noviny, předplatné, data).

Conjugation and morphology: odebíráme appears in the 1st person plural present tense; related forms include odebíráš (2nd person singular), odebírá (3rd person singular), odebíráte (2nd person plural), and odebírají (3rd person plural). The infinitive is odebírat, and the past tense forms depend on person and gender (odebral, odebrala, odebrali, etc.).

Etymology: the verb is built from the prefix od- meaning away or from and the root brát “to take,” giving the sense of taking away, removing, or obtaining.
