Prosím, použijte taxametr.

When to use

Use this phrase in taxis where metered fares are the standard, to ensure a fair price and avoid potential overcharging.

Formality

The combination of 'Prosím' (please) and the formal 'vy' imperative 'použijte' makes this a polite and appropriate request when dealing with taxi services.

How it works

A polite imperative request:

• Prosím: Please
• použijte: use (imperative, formal 'vy')
• taxametr: taxi meter (accusative case)

Grammar Notes

The verb 'použijte' is the imperative of 'použít' (to use), a perfective verb. 'Taxametr' is a masculine inanimate noun in the accusative case, as it is the direct object of the verb 'použít'.

Notes

Politely request that the taxi driver use the meter for the fare calculation.
