prohlásíte

Prohlásíte is a Czech verb form meaning you declare or you state. It is the second-person plural present indicative (or, in context, the present with future meaning) of the verb prohlásit, which denotes making a formal declaration or assertion. The verb is perfective, so it typically describes a completed act of declaring, and in many contexts its present tense also serves to express a future action.

Etymology and base forms: Prohlásit is built from the prefix pro- combined with the verb hlásit (to announce or report). The related noun or verb forms include prohlásit (the infinitive), prohlásil/prohlásila (past tense forms), and prohlášení (a declaration). The present 2nd person plural form prohlásíte is used when addressing more than one person or using the formal “vy.”

Usage and meaning: Prohlásíte is used whenever the subject (you, plural or formal) makes an explicit declaration about something, often in public, legal, or official contexts. It commonly introduces a clause with that- or that-clause (“že”), or directly names a declaration, e.g., “prohlásíte to za pravdu” (you declare this to be true) or “prohlásíte stanovisko vlády” (you declare the government’s position). Because prohlásit is a perfective verb, statements framed with prohlásíte often emphasize the act of declaring rather than ongoing action.

Related forms and notes: The first-person singular form is prohlásím; the singular second-person form is prohlásíš; the third-person forms are prohlásí, prohlásil (masculine past), prohlásila (feminine past). A close synonym in a formal register is vyhlásit (to proclaim or publish), though vyhlásit has a stronger emphasis on formal proclamation or publication.

In summary, prohlásíte is the standard form for “you declare” in Czech, used across everyday and formal discourse to attribute a declared stance or statement to the addressed person or group.
