pronajímali

Pronajímali is a Czech word that translates to "they were renting out" or "they used to rent out" in English. It is the past tense, plural form of the verb "pronajímat," which means "to rent out" or "to lease." This verb is commonly used when referring to property, such as apartments, houses, or commercial spaces.

For example, one might say "Majitelé pronajímali dům turistům" which means "The owners were renting out the house to tourists." This implies a continuous action in the past. Alternatively, "Před deseti lety pronajímali byt studenti" translates to "Ten years ago, they used to rent out the apartment to students," indicating a past habit or repeated action.

The verb "pronajímat" is distinct from "nájem," which refers to rent itself, or "půjčovat," which means "to lend" or "to borrow" in a more general sense, often for personal items rather than property. The use of "pronajímali" specifically denotes the act of providing property for use in exchange for payment over a period of time.
