Tudovat

Tudovat is a Czech verb that translates to "to know" in English. It is a fundamental verb in the Czech language and is used to express familiarity with facts, information, people, or places. The verb tudovat conjugates based on person, number, and tense, similar to other Czech verbs.

There are two main forms of "to know" in Czech: vedět and znát. While both translate to "to know," they are used in different contexts. Vedět is typically used for knowing facts, information, or something that has been learned. For example, "Vím, že zítra bude pršet" translates to "I know that it will rain tomorrow." Znát is used for knowing people, places, or things through personal acquaintance or experience. For instance, "Znám Prahu" means "I know Prague."

The verb tudovat, however, is a less common and somewhat archaic or dialectal form. In modern standard Czech, vedět and znát are the preferred and widely used verbs for expressing knowledge. Tudovat might be encountered in older literature or in specific regional dialects, and it generally carries the meaning of "to know" or "to understand," often with a nuance of deeper comprehension or awareness. Its usage is significantly less frequent than vedět or znát, and it is not typically taught to beginners learning Czech.
