INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION

The exposition of verb aspect is based on the same principles as in the handbookA GRAMMAR OF CZECH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE http://www.factumcz.cz/

See also the supplement at the end of this compendium.

The entries are arranged in the alphabetic order of imperfective verbs.Czech Alphabet:

a i sb j c k t l d m ue n v

f o zg p h rch

The imperfective verb (nedokonav sloveso) is always introduced on the upper line, itsperfective (dokonav) counterpart on the lower line. The two verbs correspond to one lexicalunit in other (non-Slavonic) languages. E.g.

pekldat

Apart from presenting the aspect pairs in the infinitive forms, even the information about the

present tense conjugation is mentioned according to the folowing principles:

Regular formal relations between the infinitive and the present tense forms are indicated by

underlining the infinitive suffixes -et, -t, -it, -at, -ovat, -nout , the verbsbeing conjugated asexplained in chapter 13 of A Grammar of Czech as a Foreign Language, i.e.:

INFINITIVE PRESENT TENSE ENDINGS PAST PARTICIPLE

vidt vidlslyet slyelmluvit } -m, -, -, -me, -te, - mluvildlat -m, -, -, -me, -te, -aj dlal

potebovat -uji, -uje, -uje, -ujeme, -ujete, -uj poteboval

odmtnout odmtl (after a consonantprominout } -nu, -ne, -ne, -neme, -nete, -nou prominul (after a vowel)

Mind that the present form of a perfective (dokonav) verb refers to futurity!- See A GRAMMAR OF CZECH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, chapter 16, as well as the supplementat the end of this compendium.

Verbs with other relations between the infinitive and the present forms are arranged like this:

1: the infinitive,2: the 3rdperson singular with the ending underlined (-e, -, -),3: the past participle.In such cases, the present tense forms follow one of the three regular patterns mentioned inA GRAMMAR OF CZECH AS A FOREIGN LANGUAGE, chapter 13, i.e.

-u -e -e -eme -ete -ou

-m - - -me -te - (certain verbs -j)

-m - - -me -te -aj

e.g.:st, te, etl

stt, stoj, stl

znt, zn, znal
