cestuji

Cestuji is a Czech verb in the present tense used to express the act of traveling. It is the first person singular form of the verb cestovat, which is imperfective and describes travel in general, without emphasizing completion. The term is standard in written Czech and widely used in everyday speech, with some regional variation in pronunciation and preferred forms.

Conjugation in the present tense (já = I) typically appears as: já cestuji, ty cestuješ, on/ona cestuje, my cestujeme, vy cestujete, oni cestují. In everyday speech, many speakers also use the near-synonymous form já cestuju, though cestuji is considered the more formal, standard variant for writing.

Usage notes and related forms: cestovat is the infinitive; cestování is the noun form meaning travel or traveling; cesta means road, way, or journey; cestovní can describe travel-related things, such as a travel bag (cestovní taška) or travel documents. The verb is commonly used to describe personal travel, commuting, or habitually traveling for work or leisure.

Examples: "Cestuji dnes do Brna." "O víkendu cestujeme po Evropě." The choice between cestuji and cestuju may reflect formality, register, or regional preference.
