posjedujete

Posjedujete is the second‑person plural present-tense form of the Croatian verb posjedovati, meaning to possess or own. It indicates that the subject “you” currently owns something and is used when addressing more than one person or a single person in a formal context.

Usage and nuance: Posjedovati is a transitive verb and takes a direct object, as in Posjedujete auto (You own a car). The term emphasizes ownership and control, and is often found in formal, legal, or inventory-related contexts. In everyday speech, the simpler imati (to have) is more common, but posjedovati conveys a sense of lawful or established ownership.

Etymology and related forms: The noun posjed means possession or property, and posjedovati is formed with the suffix -ovati from that noun. The verb is cognate with related forms in other South Slavic languages, such as Serbian posjedovati.

Conjugation: present indicative forms include: ja posjedujem, ti posjeduješ, on/ona/ono posjeduje, mi posjedujemo, vi posjedujete, oni posjeduju. Thus, posjedujete specifically corresponds to “you possess/own” in the present tense.
