Odstranily

Odstranily is a Czech verb form, the feminine plural past tense of the verb odstranit, meaning to remove or eliminate. It is used when the subject performing the action is feminine plural, such as a group of women or other female subjects, and it describes a completed action in the past.

Grammatical notes: In Czech, past tenses agree with the subject in gender and number. Odstranily is formed from the infinitive odstranit with the feminine plural past-tense suffix -ily, reflecting the subject’s gender. The masculine plural counterpart is odstranili, while the singular forms are odstranil (masc. singular), odstranila (fem. singular), and odstránilo (neuter singular).

Examples: Ženy odstranily překážky. Dívky odstranily nepotřebné dokumenty. These sentences illustrate the feminine plural past tense used with female subjects to indicate that the removal actions were completed.

Usage notes: The form is standard in both spoken and written Czech when the subject is feminine plural. For masculine or mixed-gender groups, the corresponding past-tense form is odstranili. For other genders or numbers, different endings apply (e.g., odstranil, odstranila, odstranilo).

Etymology and structure: Odstranily is built from the prefix od- (away, off) combined with the verb odstranit, and the suffix -ily marks feminine plural past tense in Czech. As with other Czech past participles, the form agrees with the subject in both gender and number.
