chytily

Chytily is the past tense form of the Czech verb chytit, meaning to catch. It is the feminine plural past tense form, used when the subject of the sentence is feminine and plural. In Czech, past tense forms of chytit include chytil (masculine singular), chytila (feminine singular), chytili (masculine or mixed-gender plural), and chytily (feminine plural). Chytily is formed from the stem chyti- with the standard feminine plural past-tense ending -ly. The form therefore appears in narrative contexts describing actions performed by groups of women or other feminine-plural subjects.

Origin and cognates: Chytit derives from the Czech root chyti- and shares cognates with other Slavic languages, which use gendered past-tense endings to indicate subject gender and number. These endings are a common feature across the Slavic language family.

Usage: Chytily is used in past-tense statements where the subject is feminine plural. Example: Dívky chytily ryby. Translation: The girls caught fish.
