Budeme míti, we shall have. Budeš slyšeti, you will hear. Učitel bude chváliti. The teacher will praise. Teta bude chváliti. The teacher will praise. Sestry budou mluviti. The sisters will talk. Míti, to have, to possess, is also used in the sense of to have to. ought to, in which case it is followed by the infinitive. Ex. Mám mluviti pravdu. I ought to speak the truth, I have to speak the truth. Máme pracovati. We ought to, we have to, work.
Idioms. Jak se máte? How are you? How do you do? Mám se dobře. I am well. Máme se dobře. We are well.
Míti se dobře, (špatně), to be well, (unwell), (se is a reflexive pronoun). Mám se špatně. I am not well.
