potebujete

Potebujete is not the standard spelling in Czech or Slovak; it is a non-diacritic variant that users may encounter when diacritics are omitted. The standard forms are potřébujete in Czech (with ř and ě) and potrebujete in Slovak (without diacritics). Both correspond to the same verb meaning: to need.

In Czech, potřébujete is the second-person plural and formal singular present tense form of potřebovat, meaning "you need." In Slovak, potrebujete is the corresponding form of potrebovať. The roots Potřeb- (Czech) and potreb- (Slovak) derive from the Proto-Slavic verb for “to need,” and the endings -ujete mark the second person plural or formal address.

Usage in sentences is straightforward: Czech, Potřebujete něco? “Do you need anything?” Slovak, Potrebujete niečo? “Do you need anything?” The form is commonly used to inquire about someone’s necessities or to offer help, as in Potřebujete pomoc? or Potrebujete pomoc? Both are standard phrases in everyday speech.

Orthography and diacritics are central to accuracy. In formal writing, Czech requires diacritics (potřebujete), while Slovak uses pot ebujete with standard diacritics not present in this form (potrebujete). The plain non-diacritic variant potebujete is typically considered a misspelling or nonstandard transcription in formal contexts.
