Questions & Answers about Chceme si koncert užít.

Why is there no separate word for we in this sentence?

Czech often leaves out subject pronouns because the verb ending already shows who is doing the action.
Chceme already means we want, so adding my is usually unnecessary.

You could say My chceme si koncert užít, but that would sound more emphatic, like we want to enjoy the concert.

What verb does chceme come from?

Chceme comes from the infinitive chtít, meaning to want.

This verb is irregular, so the stem changes:

• chci = I want
• chceš = you want
• chce = he/she/it wants
• chceme = we want
• chcete = you want
• chtějí = they want

So chceme is the 1st person plural form: we want.
