naviguj

Naviguj is a Czech verb form meaning "navigate." It is the second-person singular present imperative of navigovat, used to issue a direct instruction to someone to navigate or steer a course.

Etymology and form: Navigovat is a regular Czech verb derived from the Latin navigare, via European languages such as French naviguer, adapted into Czech as navigovat. The imperative form naviguj (ty) is used in informal address, while the formal plural command is navigujte (vy).

Usage: In everyday language, naviguj appears in direct-address situations involving maps, routes, or vehicle guidance. Examples include phrases like naviguj na ten bod na mapě or naviguj ke zmíněnému cíli. In formal or written contexts, the polite form navigujte is preferred. In digital interfaces, imperative prompts may echo the same form to direct the user to initiate navigation or routing.

Meaning and scope: Beyond literal steering, navigovat can be used metaphorically to describe guiding or managing a process or situation. The imperative naviguj thus carries a sense of actively directing movement toward a goal, whether in physical travel or planning.
