pomohli

Pomohli is a verb form used in Czech and Slovak that means "they helped." It is the past tense, masculine personal plural form of the verb pomoci, used when the subject is a group of people that includes at least one male or a mixed-gender group.

In Czech and Slovak, past tense forms agree with the subject in gender and number. Other forms of the same verb in the past tense include pomohl (masculine singular), pomohla (feminine singular), and pomohlo (neuter singular). For plural subjects, the corresponding forms are pomohli (masculine personal), pomohly (feminine), and pomohlo (neuter), depending on the gender composition of the subject.

Etymology and related forms: pomohli derives from the verb pomoci, meaning to help or to aid, which in turn comes from the same root as the noun pomoc (help). The word is part of a family of forms that express completed action in the past and that agree with the subject's gender and number.

Usage: Pomohli is commonly employed in narrative or descriptive sentences to report a completed act of assistance by a group. Examples include: "Lidé pomohli při požáru." (People helped at the fire.) "Dobrovolníci pomohli s organizací akce." (Volunteers helped with organizing the event.)

Notes: While identical in spelling in Czech and Slovak, pronunciation may vary slightly between the languages. The form is strictly a past-tense verb and should not be confused with nouns or proper names.
