myslí

Myslí is the third-person singular present tense form of the Czech verb myslet, meaning to think. It is used to describe what a person is thinking, believes, or considers in the present moment, or to report someone’s thoughts in a clause introduced by že or other conjunctions.

The verb myslet belongs to the Indo-European family and is built on the Czech noun mysl, meaning mind or thought. The noun "mysl" and related words such as myšlenka (idea) reflect a common Slavic root found in other languages, for example Polish myśli and Russian мыслить (to think). The form myslí parallels this family as the standard 3rd person singular present form in Czech.

Common usages include questions and statements about opinion or belief. For example, Co si myslíš? means What do you think? and Myslím, že ano means I think so. Another usage expresses a belief about a future or hypothetical situation, as in On myslí na dovolenou (He is thinking about/has vacation on his mind). The reflexive construction myslet si is also common and means to think to oneself or to have an opinion, as in Myslí si, že to zvládne (He thinks/claims that he can handle it).

Grammatically, the present tense forms of myslet include: já myslím, ty myslíš, on/ona/ono myslí, my myslíme, vy myslíte, oni myslí. The form myslí specifically marks the third-person singular. Usage often shifts between direct thought and reported thought with conjunctions or the reflexive variant, depending on nuance and emphasis.
