Vyprávt

Vyprávt is a nonstandard spelling of the Czech verb vyprávět, meaning to tell or recount. It is primarily encountered in informal written Czech, especially in online messages, social media, and forums where diacritics are frequently omitted.

The standard form vyprávět includes two diacritical marks: the á in vypráv- and the ě in -ět. The spelling vyprávt represents a simplification that drops diacritics and slightly alters the ending, resulting in a form that readers may still recognize as related to vyprávět but is not accepted in formal writing. Because vyprávt is not listed in standard dictionaries, it is considered incorrect in formal contexts.

In actual use, vyprávt tends to convey the same meaning as vyprávět, namely to tell a story or describe an event. However, the absence of diacritics can introduce ambiguity in other words and may reduce clarity in more formal or mixed-language texts. Style guides commonly recommend preserving diacritics in formal writing, while allowing plain text in casual digital communication.

Examples of the informal use include sentences like: Můžu ti vyprávt ten vtip? or Dnes jsem vyprávt ten zážitek z cesty. In standard orthography, these would normally appear as: Můžu ti vyprávět ten vtip? and vyprávět ten zážitek z cesty.
