vázají

Vázají is a Czech word that translates to "they tie" or "they bind" in English. It is the third-person plural present tense form of the verb "vázat." The verb "vázat" itself has a broad range of meanings, encompassing the act of physically securing something with a knot or cord, as well as more abstract concepts.

In a literal sense, "vázají" can describe multiple people performing an action of tying. For example, "děti vázají mašle" means "the children are tying ribbons." It can also refer to the binding of documents, such as "knihovníci vázají staré knihy" or "the librarians are binding old books."

Beyond physical tying, "vázají" can also denote a connection or obligation. For instance, "smlouvy vázají smluvní strany" translates to "the contracts bind the contracting parties," indicating a legal or formal commitment. In a more poetic or figurative sense, it can describe things that are linked together or associated, such as "vzpomínky vázají lidi k místům" meaning "memories bind people to places." The specific context determines the precise nuance of the word.
