Vyjet

Vyjet is a Czech verb in its perfective aspect meaning to set off, depart, or drive off, typically referring to the start of a journey or movement by vehicle. It is formed with the prefix vy- attached to the intransitive verb jet (to go).

The prefix vy- conveys outward movement or completion of the act of moving, and vyjet is used to describe a single, completed departure rather than a habitual action. In contrast, the imperfective counterpart is vyjíždět, which expresses repeated or ongoing departures. For example, vyjel z garáže means he left the garage, while vyjíždím z garáže každý den would indicate a habitual departure.

Common usage includes departures for travel or trips, as in vyjel na výlet (he set off on a trip) or vyjel do Prahy (he drove to Prague). The verb can be combined with different prepositional phrases to indicate direction or destination, such as z garáže (from the garage), na výlet (on a trip), or do centra (to the town center). It is typically used with vehicles, including cars, motorcycles, buses, and bicycles.

Conjugation is person- and gender-specific in the past tense (vyjel, vyjela, vyjeli) and, in the present/future sense, appears as vyjedu, vyjedeš, vyjede, vyjedeme, vyjedete, vyjedou. The imperfective form vyjíždět covers repeated departures, while vyjet emphasizes a single, completed departure. See also jet, vyjíždět, and výlet for related linguistic and practical senses.
