Vyhovoval

Vyhovoval is the past tense masculine singular form of the Czech verb vyhovovat. It means to be satisfactory, to meet someone’s needs, wishes, or to be in accordance with a set of conditions or standards; to suit. The action is imperfective, typically used to describe a past situation in which something fulfilled expectations or requirements. When expressing to whom something was satisfactory, Czech commonly uses the dative: “To vyhovovalo mně,” “Návrh vyhovoval všem požadavkům,” or “Návrh vyhovoval mému týmu.”

In the past tense, the masculine singular form is vyhovoval; feminine singular is vyhovovala; neuter is vyhovovalo; plural forms are vyhovovali (masc), vyhovovaly (fem/ neuter). The construction often features a subject referring to the thing that is satisfactory and a dative noun or pronoun indicating the person for whom it is satisfactory.

Common collocations include vyhovovat požadavkům, vyhovovat podmínkám, vyhovovat potřebám. The opposite is nevyhovovat. Related forms include vyhovující (adjective meaning “satisfactory” or “compliant”) and vyhovět (a related, more formal/perfective verb meaning “to fulfill or comply with a demand or requirement”).

Examples: “Návrh vyhovoval všem členům komise.” “Vyhovoval mu časový plán.” “Toto nevyhovuje mým požadavkům.” These usages illustrate how vyhovovat describes alignment with expectations, conditions, or needs in speech and writing.
