Pronajímal
Pronajímal is a Czech verb, the past tense masculine singular form of "pronajímat" which translates to "to rent" or "to lease" in English. It specifically refers to the action of a landlord or lessor providing property, such as an apartment, house, or commercial space, to another party for a period of time in exchange for payment. When used in a sentence, "pronajímal" indicates that a male individual was the one who was renting out the property. For example, "Pan Novák pronajímal byt v centru" translates to "Mr. Novák was renting out an apartment downtown." The verb implies a contractual agreement where the owner retains ownership but allows use by a tenant. This contrasts with selling, where ownership is transferred. The concept is fundamental to real estate and rental markets, covering both residential and commercial transactions. The feminine singular past tense would be "pronajímala," and the plural would be "pronajímali" (masculine animate/inanimate) or "pronajímaly" (feminine/neuter).
