sniují

Sniují is a verb form used in the context of Slavic languages to express the act of dreaming. In standard Slovak orthography the present-tense, third-person plural form is snívajú, while the corresponding Czech form is snívají. The spelling sniují is not considered standard in these languages and typically appears only in non-diacritic texts or as a typographical variant.

Etymology and relation: The form derives from the verb snívať in Slovak or snívat in related languages, both rooted in the Proto-Slavic verb meaning to dream. The core root snív- connects to dreaming, imagination, or hopes.

Grammar and usage: Snívať is an imperfective verb meaning that the action can be ongoing or habitual. The third-person plural forms indicate multiple subjects performing the action of dreaming. Beyond literal dreams, the form can be used metaphorically to mean imagining or planning future possibilities.

Examples:

- Slovak (standard): Ooni snívajú o lepšej budúcnosti. They dream of a better future.

- Slovak (nonstandard/diacritics omitted): Oni sniujú o lepšej budúcnosti. They dream of a better future.
