Pocítí

Pocítí is a Czech verb meaning "to feel" or "to sense." It is a perfective verb, indicating a completed action. The imperfective counterpart is "cítit," which means "to feel" or "to be feeling" and refers to an ongoing or repeated action.

When used, pocítí often describes the onset of a sensation or emotion. For example, "pocítil chlad" means "he felt the cold," implying a sudden realization or perception of the cold. It can also be used to describe experiencing a specific feeling, such as "pocítil radost" meaning "he felt joy." The verb is conjugated according to person, number, and gender in the past tense, and person and number in the present and future tenses. In the present tense, pocítí is used to describe a future action. For instance, "On pocítí úlevu" translates to "He will feel relief." The past tense form "pocítil" is common when referring to a past experience. Understanding the distinction between pocítí and cítit is crucial for accurate Czech grammar.
