pobýváme

Pobýváme is a Czech verb meaning "we reside" or "we stay." It is the first-person plural present tense form of the verb pobývat. This verb is commonly used to indicate a temporary or longer-term dwelling in a place. It can refer to living in a specific location, such as a town or a country, or simply staying in a particular spot for a period of time.

The verb pobývat is derived from the prefix po- and the root bývat, which itself is a frequentative form of být, meaning "to be." The prefix po- often denotes a completed action or a certain duration. Therefore, pobývat implies a state of being or residing for a discernible length of time.

Examples of its usage include phrases like "Pobýváme v Praze" (We reside in Prague) or "Pobýváme u babičky na venkově" (We are staying at grandma's in the countryside). The context clarifies whether the residence is permanent or temporary. The verb is neutral in tone and does not carry strong connotations of wealth or poverty, simply indicating presence and dwelling. It is a fundamental verb in the Czech language for expressing the concept of living or staying somewhere.
