Odmítnou

Odmítnou is the third-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb odmítnout. Odmítnout is a perfective verb meaning to refuse, reject, or decline. Its imperfective counterpart is odmítat, which has the present tense odmítají.

Grammatical notes: As a present-tense form of a perfective verb, odmítnou conveys a single, completed act of refusing and is used to describe the current situation or a near-future event, depending on context. The infinitive is odmítnout; the stem is odmítn-, with the present-tense ending -ou for the third person plural.

Usage: Odmítnou is commonly used for concrete refusals—such as invitations, proposals, or offers. It can express firm rejection or a formal denial, and it contrasts with odmítají (present of the imperfective odmítat), which can imply ongoing or repeated refusals.

Examples:

- Odmítnou nabídku. (They refuse the offer.)

- Oni odmítnou naše podmínky. (They will/refuse our conditions.)
