pedbíhat

Pedbíhat is a Czech verb that translates to "to run off" or "to dash away." It implies a sudden and often brief departure, typically characterized by speed. The word is derived from the prefix "ped-" which relates to feet or running, and the verb "bíhat" meaning to run.

The term can be used in various contexts. For instance, a child might "pedbíhat" from their parents in a park, or a person might "pedbíhat" from a boring conversation. It can also describe an animal's quick escape. The emphasis is on the act of running away quickly, rather than a long-distance journey. While it generally signifies a voluntary action, it can sometimes imply a hasty retreat due to fear or surprise. The opposite of "pedbíhat" might be "přibíhat" (to run towards) or simply "zůstat" (to stay).
