dohodnou

Dohodnou is the third-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb dohodnout, which means to arrange, settle, or reach an agreement. Because dohodnout is a perfective verb, its present tense forms typically refer to actions that are anticipated to be completed in the future; thus doh odnou can be understood as “they will agree” or “they will arrange.” In many contexts, the reflexive form dohodnou se is used to express that parties come to an agreement.

Etymology and related forms: the verb dohodnout is built from the noun dohoda (agreement) with the suffix -nout. The related infinitive is dohodnout, and the noun dohoda denotes the concept of an agreement. The imperfective counterpart is vyjednávat, which emphasizes ongoing negotiation rather than a completed agreement.

Usage: doh odnou is common in formal negotiation, contracts, and business or political discourse. It often appears with objects like podmínky (terms) or ceny (prices), for example: Obě strany dohodnou podmínky smlouvy. Oni se dohodnou na ceně. The phrase doh odnou se highlights the consensual nature of reaching an agreement.

Grammatical notes: as a finite form, doh odnou agrees with a plural subject. The negative form is nedohodnou se, meaning “they will not agree.” Other related forms include dohodnout (infinitive) and dohodnutí (the act of agreeing) as a noun form.
