ohrozíme

Ohrozíme is the first-person plural future tense form of the Czech verb ohrozit, meaning to threaten or to endanger. It expresses a deliberate future action by the speaker and others, roughly translated as "we will threaten" or "we will endanger," depending on the context.

Usage and nuance: Ohrozit is a perfective verb, so its present-tense forms convey a future action rather than a current ongoing act. In neutral or formal writing it can denote a threatening act or endangering someone or something, but it is often used figuratively to mean jeopardizing a goal, situation, or safety. The imperfective counterpart ohrožovat describes ongoing or repeated threats; ohrozit implies a completed or specific upcoming act.

Conjugation and related forms: The perfective verb ohrozit yields forms such as ohrozím, ohrozíš, ohrozí, ohrozíme, ohrozíte, ohrozí. The form ohrozíme is the first-person plural, and in practice it can be ambiguous between singular and plural without additional context. Related forms include the imperfective ohrožovat (ohrožuji, ohrožuješ, ohrožuje, ohrožujeme, ohrožujete, ohrožují), the past tense ohrozil/ohrázili, and nouns such as hrozba (threat) and ohrožení (endangerment).

Examples: "Pokud nebudou přijata opatření, ohrozíme bezpečnost občanů." "Návrh by mohl ohrozit hospodářskou stabilitu." These illustrate how the form can express future threats or jeopardizing effects in different contexts.
