Vyhnula

Vyhnula is a form of the Czech verb vyhnout se, used with feminine singular subjects in the past tense to mean that someone (a woman or a feminine subject) avoided or escaped something. The verb vyhnout se expresses avoidance or getting away from a situation, risk, or danger, and is among the common ways Czech speakers describe preventive action in past events. In non-reflexive usage, vyhnout can mean to drive away or ward off something; with the reflexive particle se, vyhnout se specifically means to avoid oneself from a circumstance.

In standard grammar, vyhnula is the feminine singular past tense form, and when the action is reflexive, it often appears as vyhnula se in sentences such as “Jana se vyhnula nebezpečí” (Jana avoided danger). This contrasts with masculine or neuter past-tense forms like vyhnul or vyhnulo, which correspond to different subjects. The word is a perfective verb, so vyhnula conveys a completed act of avoidance or escape.

Usage notes:

- Vyhnula functions as a finite verb in narrative and descriptive text.

- It does not form a noun; it is a verb form used to describe a past action by a feminine subject.

- Common contexts include avoiding danger, risk, trouble, or an unwanted situation.
