vyhledají

Vyhledají is a Czech verb form derived from vyhledat, meaning to look up, search for, or locate. It is the third-person plural form in the future tense of the perfective verb vyhledat. In Czech, perfective verbs express completed actions, and their present tense is used to convey future meaning; thus vyhledají translates roughly as “they will look up” or “they will search for.” The prefix vy- adds a sense of outward or completed searching, while hledat means “to look for.”

Usage and meaning: Vyhledat is used when a deliberate search or retrieval is involved, often with information, contacts, or items in databases, catalogs, or on the internet. Common collocations include vyhledat informace, vyhledat kontakty, vyhledat v katalogu, or vyhledat na internetu. Related verb pairs include hledat (to search) and vyhledávat (imperfective, “to search for” in a general or ongoing sense).

Examples:

- Vyhledají si na internetu informace o firmě. (They will look up information about the company on the Internet.)

- V databázi vyhledají kontakty na jednotlivé pracovníky. (In the database they will look up the contacts of the individual employees.)

Notes: The form vyhledají should be distinguished from vyhledává, which is the present tense form of the imperfective vyhledávat and means “they search/look up” in a habitual or ongoing sense.
