prispievate

Prispievate is a Slovak verb form meaning you contribute. It is the second-person plural present tense of the imperfective verb prispievať, used to describe ongoing or habitual contributions by the subject you (plural) or a formal plural. The related perfective form prispieť denotes a single contribution or a completed act. The meaning covers providing money, time, services, or other resources to a cause, project, organization, or community.

In practice, prispievate appears in contexts such as fundraising, volunteering, or collaborative projects. Examples: Vy prispievate peniazmi na projekt or Prispievate na tento program pravidelne? The pronoun vy expresses formal address or a group; for singular informal you, the form is ty prispievaš. The noun príspevok denotes a contribution or grant.

Etymology: prispievať is the present-form verb from which prispievate is derived; the form marks second-person plural present tense. See also prispieť and príspevok. The term is standard in Slovak and is used similarly to the English "contribute" or "donate"; in Czech the corresponding form is přispíváte.
