najde

Najde is a verb form found in several Slavic languages, representing the third-person singular present tense of verbs meaning “to find.” In Czech, the infinitive is najít, and the present tense 3rd person singular is najde. In Slovak, the corresponding form is nájde (with diacritics). In Slovene, the present tense 3rd person singular is najde. Therefore, najde generally translates as “he finds” or “she finds” in the present.

Usage in each language follows regular present-tense conjugation patterns. Examples include Czech: On najde řešení (He finds a solution). Slovak: On nájde riešenie (He finds a solution). Slovenian: On najde rešitev (He finds a solution). The form can appear with different subjects: for the first person, Czech forms include já najdu (I find) and ty najdeš (you find); Slovak and Slovene have analogous first- and second-person forms built from the same root.

Etymology and cognates: najde derives from the common Slavic root for “to find,” typically traced to Proto-Slavic *najti. Across languages, the exact spelling reflects language-specific phonology and diacritic usage (for example nájde in Slovak vs. najde in Czech and Slovenian).

In summary, najde is a widely attested present-tense form used to express finding something in Czech, Slovak, and Slovene, reflecting a shared linguistic heritage while exhibiting language-specific orthography.
