rozliujeme

Rozliujeme is a verb form found in several Slavic languages, most commonly encountered in Slovak and, less frequently, in related Czech varieties. It represents the first-person plural form in present or nearly present aspect of a verb built with the prefix roz- and a stem related to pouring or dispensing liquids. Because the exact base verb can vary by language and dialect, the precise nuance of rozliujeme can range from “we pour out” to “we spill.”

Etymology and morphology. The prefix roz- in Slavic languages often indicates distribution, dispersal, or completion, and when combined with a stem derived from the verb for pouring or distributing liquid, it yields a form meaning to pour out or spill together. In Slovak, a cognate verb such as rozliovať (to spill or pour out) can give rise to the form rozliujeme in its present indicative first person plural. In Czech, similar roots exist, but the standard spellings and diacritics may produce different surface forms. Variants without diacritics or in dialectal use can thus appear as rozliujeme in informal writing.

Usage. Rozliujeme is typically used with a direct object referring to a liquid or fluid. It describes an act performed by the speaker and one or more others, such as distributing or spilling a liquid into containers or across surfaces. Because the exact meaning depends on the underlying verb and dialect, speakers should consult a language-specific reference to confirm tense, aspect, and preferred synonyms.
