pomohou

Pomohou is a Czech verb form meaning "they will help." It is the third-person plural future tense of the verb pomoci, which means to help. In Czech, pomoci is a perfective verb, and its future tense is expressed by a single finite form rather than with an auxiliary verb. The form pomohou appears in statements about future assistance, commitments, or planned actions.

Morphology and usage: The ending -ou marks the third-person plural. The corresponding forms for other persons are pomohu (I will help), pomůžeš (you will help), and pomůže (he/she will help). Because pomoci is perfective, pomohou generally denotes a completed or definite act in the future, rather than an ongoing one. The form is used with plural subjects (they, people) and in both written and spoken Czech to describe forthcoming aid or support.

Examples: "Oni pomohou potřebným." (They will help those in need.) "Zítra pomohou s úklidem parku." (Tomorrow they will help with the park cleanup.)

Etymology and relation to other forms: Pomohou derives from the infinitive pomoci, via the standard Czech verb conjugation pattern for perfective verbs. Related forms include pomohu, pomůžeš, and pomůže, which cover other persons and numbers. In contrast, imperfective verbs expressing ongoing or repeated action would use different future constructions.
