vyvarovali

Vyvarovali is a past tense form of the Czech verb vyvarovat se, which means to refrain from or to avoid something. In standard usage the construction vyvarovat se is reflexive, and the past tense is formed with the subject in the appropriate gender and number followed by se, as in vyvarovali se. This form is used to describe that a group of people actively avoided or kept away from a particular action, risk, or situation.

Grammar and usage notes:

- Vyvarovat se is a separable phrasal verb; in many sentences the reflexive pronoun se is written as a separate word and may appear after the verb in the past tense.

- The masculine plural past tense form is vyvarovali se; feminine is vyvarovaly se; neuter is vyvarovalo se.

- It is commonly used with a genitive object to indicate what was avoided, for example vyvarovali se rizika (they avoided the risk) or vyvarovali se chyb (they avoided mistakes).

Etymology:

- The prefix vy- combined with the verb varovat forms vyvarovat, from which vyvarovat se develops the meaning of avoiding or warding off something. It is related in sense to avert or abstain, rather than to warn, which is the primary sense of varovat without vy-.

Related terms:

- varovat se (infinitive form, base meaning to avoid or refrain)

- vyvarování (the noun form meaning avoidance or abstention)

- vyvarovat někomu něco (to avert something from someone; used less commonly in reflexive sense)

In summary, vyvarovali functions as the past tense plural form of vyvarovat se, used to indicate that a group actively avoided a particular thing or risk.
