poradím

Poradím is a Czech verb form derived from the verb poradit, meaning to advise or counsel. It is the first-person singular present tense form (já poradím) and is often used to express a willingness to provide guidance, sometimes with a sense of near-future action, as in Poradím ti. The phrase can function both as a standalone statement of intent and as part of longer sentences offering help or advice.

In usage, poradím is commonly found in everyday conversation, customer service, and written guidance when someone offers to help with a decision or problem. It is typically followed by a dative object indicating the recipient of the advice (e.g., ti, mu, jí). The form can also appear in combinations like poraďím si, meaning I’ll manage or I’ll cope, depending on context.

Etymology and grammar: poradím comes from the root porad- attached to the present-tense personal ending -ím. It is part of the same verb family as poradit and radit, with poradit emphasizing giving guidance and radit focusing more generally on offering advice or opinions.

Notes: While poradím is primarily a present-tense form, its practical meaning often conveys a near-future commitment to provide advice or assistance. It should be distinguished from other forms of the verb radit, which can be used more broadly for giving opinions.
