Dýchá

Dýchá is a Czech word that translates to "breathes" in English. It is the third-person singular present tense form of the verb "dýchat," which means "to breathe." This verb is fundamental to describing the physiological process of respiration in the Czech language.

The act of breathing is essential for life, involving the intake of oxygen and the expulsion of carbon dioxide. In Czech, "dýchá" would be used when referring to an individual or an entity that is performing this action. For instance, one might say "Pes dýchá" meaning "The dog breathes," or "Dítě klidně dýchá" meaning "The child breathes calmly."

The word is also used metaphorically in Czech, similar to how "breathes" can be used in English. For example, a sentence like "Město pomalu dýchá" could be interpreted as "The city is slowly coming alive" or "The city has a slow rhythm." This figurative use highlights the versatility of the word beyond its literal biological meaning.

Understanding "dýchá" is crucial for comprehending basic Czech sentences related to living beings and their vitality. Its grammatical form indicates a present, ongoing action performed by a single subject.
