vylíhnout

Vylíhnout is a Czech verb that translates to "to hatch" in English. It is primarily used to describe the process of a young animal emerging from an egg. This can include birds, reptiles, insects, and other oviparous species. The verb implies the completion of the incubation period and the successful birth of the offspring.

The act of vylíhnout can be applied in both literal and figurative senses. Literally, it refers to the physical emergence of a chick from its shell or a snake from its egg. Figuratively, it can be used to describe the beginning or development of something new, much like an idea or a plan coming to fruition after a period of gestation. However, the literal meaning related to eggs is by far the most common usage.

The noun form associated with vylíhnout is vylíhnutí, which means "hatching." This refers to the event or the process of hatching itself. For example, one might discuss the annual vylíhnutí of sea turtles on a particular beach. The verb is a fundamental part of the Czech vocabulary when discussing reproduction in the animal kingdom.
