zatují

Zatují is not a widely recognized standalone word in standard Czech. In most dictionaries it does not appear as a lemma, and its meaning cannot be stated independently. Instead, zatují is a finite verb form that may appear in texts as part of a sentence, leaving its interpretation to the surrounding context. The form may reflect a genuine verb conjugation, a misspelling, or a regional or dialectal usage, or it could be a proper noun such as a place name or surname in some contexts.

Grammatical note: If zatují is interpreted as a verb form, it would likely be a third-person plural form ending in -ují, a pattern seen in present-tense conjugations of many Czech verbs. However, as a stand-alone surface form, it does not point to a single standard infinitive. In contemporary standard Czech, a similar semantic content would more commonly be expressed with forms like zatouží, depending on aspect, mood, and the surrounding syntactic structure.

Possible sources and interpretations are therefore varied: it could be a misspelling of zatouží, a dialectal variant, or a fragment of a longer verb form derived from a root such as zatoto or zatu-. Because of its ambiguity, reliable interpretation requires additional context, such as the surrounding sentence, dialect, or author.
