Vrátím

Vrátím is the first-person singular form of the Czech verb vrátit in the simple future. The verb means to return or to give back something to someone. Because vrátit is a perfective verb, vrátím expresses a completed future action: “I will return” or “I will give back.”

Usage of vrátím is transitive; it requires a direct object when used with concrete items, and can also be used with pronouns in indirect references. Examples include returning money, books, or other items: “Zítra ti vrátím peníze” (I will return the money to you tomorrow), “Knihu ti vrátím hned” (I’ll return the book to you right away).

Related forms and notes

Vrátím is contrasted with vracím, which is the imperfective present tense form meaning “I am returning” or “I return (in general)” and is used for ongoing or repeated actions. The corresponding past tense forms are built from the same verb stem (e.g., “vrátil jsem/vrátila jsem” for “I returned”). In usage, the choice between vrátím and other forms depends on whether the speaker is indicating a definite future act of returning or a ongoing/ habitual action.
