poradí

Poradí is a verb form in Czech and Slovak that means to advise or to provide advice. It is the third-person singular form of the verb poradit (Czech) or poradiť (Slovak). The infinitive poradit/poradiť derives from the noun rada, meaning advice or counsel, with a prefix that marks the action directed toward another person. The form poradí is used when describing that someone gives advice to someone else, for example: On poradí ti, co máš dělat.

Usage notes: Poradí is commonly combined with an indirect object pronoun to indicate to whom the advice is given (e.g., ti, mu, jí). It can appear in questions such as “Kdo ti poradi?” or in statements like “Poradí ti s výběrem školy.” The reflexive form poradí si in Czech and Slovak means something different: to manage or cope, rather than to give advice.

Related forms include the infinitive poradit, which denotes the act of advising in general, and derived nouns such as rada (advice). The word is characteristic of everyday usage in advising contexts, consultations, and guidance in both languages.

In summary, poradí is the grammatically specific, third-person singular form used to indicate that a person provides advice to someone else, rooted in the broader verb poradit and the concept of rada (advice).
