Prodlouit

Prodlouit is not a standard Czech verb form; it commonly appears as a misspelling of the infinitive prodloučit, which means to extend or prolong something. In formal or careful writing, the correct spelling should be used. The form prodlouit may be encountered in informal texts, OCR errors, or attempts to type without proper diacritics.

The intended verb derives from the prefix pro- together with a root related to dlouhý (long). The general sense is to lengthen a time period, a deadline, a contract, or another temporal or spatial dimension. It is used when referring to increasing the duration of an obligation, validity, or physical length.

In standard Czech, prodloučit is a perfective verb carried in contexts that describe a completed extension. The imperfective counterpart exists as part of the broader verbal system and is used when describing an ongoing or repeated extending action, but it is not formed by the same spelling as prodlouit. When correcting texts, prodloučit and its related forms should be used instead of prodlouit.

Common usages include phrases such as prodloučit platnost (to extend the validity), prodloučit lhůtu (to extend the deadline), or prodloučit smlouvu (to extend a contract). These constructions are common in administrative, legal, and business contexts, where precise control over duration and validity is important.
