poznáte

The word "poznáte" is a grammatical form in the Slovak language. It is the second-person plural form of the verb "poznať." The verb "poznať" has several meanings, including "to know," "to recognize," and "to be familiar with." Therefore, "poznáte" translates to "you (plural) know," "you (plural) recognize," or "you (plural) are familiar with."

This form is used when addressing a group of people. For example, "Poznáte toto miesto?" translates to "Do you (plural) know this place?". Similarly, "Poznáte tú pesničku?" means "Do you (plural) recognize that song?". The context of the sentence determines the specific nuance of the verb's meaning.

The conjugation of verbs in Slovak, like in many other Slavic languages, depends on the person (first, second, third), number (singular, plural), tense (present, past, future), and mood (indicative, imperative, conditional). "Poznáte" specifically falls into the present tense, indicative mood, second person, and plural number. Understanding these grammatical distinctions is crucial for accurate comprehension and usage of the Slovak language.
