Petrvávat

Petrvávat is a Czech verb meaning to be accustomed to or to be used to something. It is derived from the masculine noun "petr" and the verb suffix "-vávat," which indicates a repeated or habitual action. The verb is typically used in the context of personal habits, preferences, or routines.

The conjugation of petrvávat follows the pattern of other verbs ending in -vávat. For example, the first-person singular present tense is "petrvávám" (I am accustomed to), and the third-person singular present tense is "petrvává" (he/she/it is accustomed to). The past tense is formed using the auxiliary verb "být" (to be) and the past participle, such as "byl jsem petrvával" (I was accustomed to).

Petrvávat can be used with direct objects or with prepositional phrases to specify what one is accustomed to. For instance, "Petrvávám si brzké vstávání" translates to "I am accustomed to waking up early." Similarly, "Petrvává na špatné počasí" means "he/she is accustomed to bad weather." The verb implies a sense of ease or lack of resistance to a particular situation or activity due to prolonged exposure or practice. It is not a commonly used verb in everyday modern Czech but can be found in older texts or specific regional dialects.
