pijú

Pijí is the third-person plural present tense form of the Czech verb pít, meaning to drink. It is used with plural subjects, such as oni (they, masculine or mixed) and ony (they, feminine). The infinitive of the verb is pít, and pijí specifically marks the third-person plural in the present tense.

The form is written with a long i (í) and is pronounced with a lengthened i sound. In standard Czech, the meaning and person are indicated by the verb ending, so the subject pronoun is often omitted when the context makes the subject clear.

Usage examples include sentences like "Oni pijí mléko" (They drink milk) or "Děti pijí vodu" (Children are drinking water). The present-tense forms of pít vary by person and number, with pijí designated for the third-person plural.

Etymology and related forms: pít comes from Proto-Slavic piti, with cognates in other Slavic languages such as Polish piją and Slovak pijú. The Czech pijí shares historical roots with these forms and reflects the general Slavic pattern for forming present-tense endings for third-person plural.
