vymení

Vymení is a Czech verb form derived from vyměnit, meaning to exchange, swap, or replace. The prefix vy- and the root měnit (to change) shape a word that belongs to the perfective aspect, typically used to express a completed or anticipated exchange. The basic idea is moving from one item or state to another by exchanging.

In standard Czech, vymení functions as a future-tense form (3rd person singular and, in some contexts, 3rd person plural) of vyměnit, so it is commonly translated as “he will exchange” or “they will exchange” depending on the subject. The exact meaning depends on the accompanying words, but it generally denotes that an exchange or substitution will occur or has just been concluded.

Common usages include commercial exchanges, such as swapping old for new goods, or social exchanges, such as exchanging opinions or items with someone. Examples: On vymění staré zboží za nové. Můžeme si vyměnit názory. The related noun is výměna, meaning an exchange or swap, and the verb can appear in phrases like vyměnit si, meaning to exchange something with someone or to exchange words.

Related terms include vyměnit (to exchange, to swap), výměna (the act of exchanging), and vyměňovat (the imperfective form, used for repeated exchanges). Vymení is thus a specific, context-dependent form of the broader Czech verb family around changing and exchanging.
