vyberte

Vyberte is the second person plural present imperative form of the Czech verb vybrat, meaning to choose or to select. It is used to give a direct instruction or request, particularly in written or formal contexts. The form is commonly encountered in user interfaces, forms, surveys, and instructional text, where readers are asked to make a selection.

Linguistic notes: Vybrat is a perfective verb derived from the prefix vy- added to the root brát (to take). The imperative form vyberte is used for addressing more than one person or for a formal singular address, while the singular informal imperative is vyber. As a perfective verb, vybrat emphasizes the completion of the action (to select once).

Usage examples: In interfaces you will typically see phrases such as "Vyberte z nabídky" (Choose from the offer) or "Vyberte datum" (Select a date). In guidance text, it can appear as a directive, for example, "Vyberte položky, které chcete porovnat." In other moods, the verb appears in phrases like "musíte vybrat" (you must choose) or "vždy vyberte nejvhodnější možnost," reflecting broader grammatical usage beyond the imperative.

Etymology and related forms: Vybrat derives from vy- plus brát, conveying the sense of selecting by taking out or choosing from a set. Related forms include vyberu, vybereš, vybere, and other conjugations of vybrat, as well as the related verb brát.
