myslel

Myslel is a conjugated form of the verb myslet, used in Czech and Slovak to express the past tense of thinking. It is the masculine singular past tense form, typically meaning “he thought” or “I thought” depending on the subject and context.

The word is built from the root mysl- meaning mind or thought, with the standard past-tense ending for masculine singular. Other related forms include myslela (feminine singular), myslelo (neuter singular), and mysleli (plural). In usage, myslel appears in statements about past cognition or beliefs, for example: On myslel, že přijde. or Myslel jsem, že to je pravda.

In Czech and Slovak, this form is commonly used in everyday speech to report or describe past mental states. It does not function as an independent noun or name; rather, it is a grammatical form of the verb. The meaning can be extended with phrases such as myslet si (to think to oneself, to suppose) or to express opinion: Myslel jsem, že to zvládnu.

Etymologically, myslet derives from the broader Slavic root associated with thought and mind, linked to the noun mysl, meaning mind or thought. The past tense form myslel reflects the language’s pattern of modifying the verb root to indicate person, number, and tense.

Overall, myslel is the standard masculine singular past tense form of “to think” in Czech and Slovak, used to describe a thought or belief held in the past by a masculine subject.
