ohrozujete

The action described is present tense and ongoing, indicating that the subject is currently threatening or jeopardizing something or someone.

Grammatical notes: Ohrozovat is imperfective, used to describe repeated or ongoing actions. Its perfective counterpart ohrozit refers to a completed threat or a specific future threat when used with present tense forms.

It often labels actions or rhetoric that could put people, property, or public safety at risk. In sentences, ohrozujete typically governs a direct object in the accusative, such as ohrožujete bezpečnost (you threaten/endanger safety) or ohrožujete životy lidí (you endanger people’s lives).
