sehráli

Sehráli is a verb form used in Czech and Slovak. It is the past tense, third-person plural masculine personal form of the perfective verb sehrát, meaning to play out, perform, or stage something. The prefix se- adds a sense of completion or reflexive nuance, producing a sense that the action has been carried through to its end. The verb sehrát is used in contexts such as sports to describe a match that has been played to its conclusion, in theatre to indicate a performance that was staged, or more generally to denote a completed act of playing or enacting.

Grammatical forms and usage vary by gender and number. In Czech, the past tense forms include sehráli for masculine personal plural, sehrály for feminine plural, and sehrálo for neuter plural. The past participle is sehraný, meaning played or staged, depending on context. The verb is perfective, signaling a completed event, which makes it common in narration and reporting about events that have already occurred.

In Slovak, a closely related form exists with a similar meaning, reflecting shared Slavic roots. The nuance of sehrát covers both literal playing—such as a game or a theatrical performance—and figurative senses of carrying out or executing a planned event, often emphasizing completion.
