tolerujete

It is used to refer to the act of accepting or permitting differences, behaviors, or situations, often despite potential disapproval or discomfort.

In usage, tolerujete is addressed to multiple people (you all) or used in formal contexts where vy is implicit. The nuance can range from passive endurance to active acceptance, depending on context.

Grammatically, tolerujete is transitive and typically takes a direct object or a subordinate clause indicating what is being tolerated. The related forms include toleruji (I tolerate), toleruješ (you tolerate, singular), tolerujeme (we tolerate), tolerují (they tolerate). The imperative form in Czech is tolerujte.

Etymology and cognates: tolerovat originates from Latin tolerare and has equivalents in many Slavic languages, often through intermediaries such as German or French. The English verb tolerance shares the same Latin root. In Czech and Slovak, the word has become common in discussions of social pluralism, plural rights, and intercultural dialogue.
