Vyhnuly

Vyhnuly is a Czech-language verb form used in the past tense. It is the feminine plural or, depending on dialect, a form associated with feminine plural subjects of the verb vyhnout, meaning to banish, drive away, or expel. In standard Czech, vyhnuly appears in sentences where the subject is feminine plural and the action is completed in the past. For example: Ženy vyhnuly pachatele. This illustrates how Czech finite verbs in the simple past agree with the gender and number of the subject.

Morphology and usage notes: Vyhnuly is a finite verb form, not a standalone noun. It demonstrates the typical Czech past-tense agreement system, where endings change to reflect the subject’s gender and number. The masculine plural past form would be vyhnuli, while neuter or other subjects use forms appropriate to their gender and number.

Etymology and related forms: The verb vyhnout is formed with the prefix vy- and the verb hnout/hnat, conveying the sense of moving away or driving away. It is part of the perfective aspect in Czech. The form vyhnuly is related to, but distinct from, parallel forms in other Slavic languages; for example, Slovak has a corresponding past tense form vyhnúli for feminine plural, with its own orthographic conventions.

Scope and naming: Vyhnuly is not a recognized place, organization, or widely used proper noun in standard references. It is primarily encountered as a grammatical form within Czech verb conjugation, though it may appear in fictional or instructional contexts as an example of past-tense agreement.
