vykonáváte

Vykonáváte is the Czech verb form meaning “you perform” or “you carry out” in the second-person plural present indicative. It is the imperfective present tense form of the verb vykonávat, which denotes ongoing or habitual action. The corresponding infinitive is vykonávat, while the perfective counterpart is vykonat, which generally indicates a completed or one-time action in the future.

Morphology and usage: vykonávat is built as an imperfective verb with the present tense endings. For the second person plural you, the form is vykonáváte. The related forms include vykonávám (I perform), vykonáváš (you perform), vykonává (he/she/it performs), vykonáváme (we perform), and vykonávají (they perform). In contrast, the perfective form vykonat yields future meanings in the present-tense slot, for example vykonáte (you will perform).

Context and register: vykonávat tends to appear in more formal, technical, or bureaucratic language, such as official duties, procedures, or repeated tasks. It can also appear in written prose or documentation. In everyday speech, speakers may prefer simpler verbs such as dělat or provádět, depending on nuance.

Examples:

- Co vykonáváte ve své práci? (What do you perform/do in your job?)

- U této organizace vykonáváte veřejnou službu, říká se. (At this organization you carry out public duties, it is stated.)

Related forms and notes: Use vykonat for a one-time or completed action in the future. The term is often paired with nouns describing duties or tasks, such as povinnost, činnost, nebo zodpovědnost, to express “to perform a duty” or “to carry out an activity.”
