Dojíst is a Czech verb that translates to "to finish eating" or "to eat up." It is a perfective verb, meaning it denotes a completed action. The imperfective counterpart is dojídat. The verb is commonly used in everyday conversation when referring to consuming the remaining portion of food.

For instance, if someone has a small amount of food left on their plate, one might say "Prosím tě, dojíst to," which means "Please, finish that." It can also be used in a more general sense, such as "Dojíst oběd a jít si hrát," meaning "Finish lunch and go play." The verb implies that the action of eating is brought to completion.

The prefix "do-" signifies completion or reaching a limit, while the root "jíst" means "to eat."
