zahívat

Zahívat is a Czech verb that translates to "to invite" or "to call." It is a common and versatile word used in a variety of contexts. As a transitive verb, it typically takes a direct object, referring to the person or people being invited. For example, one might say "Zvu tě na večeři," meaning "I am inviting you to dinner." It can also be used in a more general sense of calling someone, such as "Zavolal jsem ho domů," meaning "I called him home."

The verb can also be used in situations where something is summoned or beckoned. For instance, "Vítr zahříval listí," meaning "The wind beckoned the leaves." In a more formal or official capacity, "zahívat" can imply summoning someone to a particular place or for a specific purpose. The imperfective aspect of the verb is "zvat" and the perfective aspect is "pozvat." Understanding these forms is crucial for correct usage in Czech grammar.
