A template for displaying conjugation forms of Czech verbs.
Minimum required parameters
edit
For most verbs, the following minimum required parameters should suffice to create a complete conjugation table.
Parameter
|
Meaning
|
Note
|
pf 1s
|
present form 1st person singular
|
not necessary to fill if it differs from 3rd person singular only by "m" in the end e.g. on letí (he flies) → já letím (I fly).
|
pf 3s
|
present form 3rd person singular
|
|
pf 3p
|
present form 3rd person plural
|
not necessary to fill if it is the same form as 3rd person singular, e.g. on letí (he flies) → oni letí (they fly).
|
im 2s
|
imperative 2nd person singular
|
|
past ms
|
past participle masculine singular
|
|
pass ms
|
passive participle masculine singular
|
if the passive participle exists
|
tr1 pres
|
present transgressive masculine singular
|
if the present transgressive exists
|
tr2 pres
|
present transgressive feminine and neuter singular
|
if the present transgressive exists
|
tr1 past
|
past transgressive masculine singular
|
if the past transgressive exists
|
aspect
|
generates a note about future tense depending on the aspect of the verb
|
Possible values:
- "perfective" (or alternatively "perferct", "pf" or "p") for verbs in perfective aspect, whose present forms are used to express future, such as vejít
- "imperfective" (or alternatively "imperfect", "impf", "imp" or "i") for verbs in imperfective aspect, which express future by combination with the auxilliiary "být", such as brát
- "negativeimperfective" (or alternatively "nimpf", "nimp" or "ni") for negative verby in imperfective aspect, which express future by combination with the negative auxilliary "nebýt", such as nebrat. In such a case the parameter "positive" for the positive form of the verb is required too.
- "pf-impf" (or alternatively "p-i" or "pi") for verbs which can be used in both perfective and imperfective aspect, such as jmenovat.
- "pf-nimpf" (or alternatively "p-ni" or "pni") for negative verbs which can be used in both perfective and imperfective aspect, such as nejmenovat. In such a case the parameter "positive" for the positive form of the verb is required too.
|
future
|
generates a table with future forms for verbs which have future forms
|
This parameter is used instead of the "aspect"
Possible values:
- "po", "pů" for words words which express future by these prefixes like letět (poletím) or jít (půjdu) etc.
- "bud" is only for the word být. It generates not only its future forms (budu, budeš...), but also conditional forms (bych, bys...).
|
positive
|
positive form of a negative verb
|
Needed only if the future tense of a negative verb is formed by combining a form of nebýt and the infinitive of the positive form of the main verb. Example: the future tense of nechodit is "nebudu chodit"
|
{{cs-conj-forms
|pf 1s=
|pf 3s=
|pf 3p=
|im 2s=
|past ms=
|pass ms=
|tr1 pres=
|tr2 pres=
|tr1 past=
|aspect=}}
Example for the verb dávat
{{cs-conj-forms
|pf 3s = dává
|pf 3p = dávají
|im 2s = dávej
|past ms = dával
|pass ms = dáván
|tr1 pres= dávaje
|tr2 pres= dávajíc
|tr1 past= dávav
|aspect= i}}
Result
Conjugation
The future tense: a combination of a future form of být + infinitive cs-conj-forms/documentation. |
|
Irregular imperatives
edit
Some verbs have less regular conjugation and for example plural imperatives cannot be derived simply by adding a suffix to the singular imperative. In such a case, more parameters are recquired, such as for the verb probdít:
{{cs-conj-forms
|pf 3s = probdí
|im 2s = probdi
|im 1p = probděme
|im 2p = probděte
|past ms = probděl
|pass ms = probděn
|tr1 past= probděv
|aspect=p}}
Result
Conjugation
The verb cs-conj-forms/documentation does not have present tense and the present forms are used to express future only. |
|
Filling automatically left-out parameters
edit
If some of the parameters mentioned in the section Minimum required parameters (except the parameter "future") is missing, all other dependent cells are filled with a dash (—). For example if the parameter "passive ms" is left empty, all cells with passive participles are filled with a dash. This can be overwritten by filling a parameter for the specific form (e. g. pass ns
for passive neuter singular).
The word tykat does not have passive participles with the exception of neuter singular. Leaving pass ms
empty and filling pass ns=tykáno
generates the following table:

Some words may need two forms in some of the cells. This can be achieved by filling the particular parameter with both forms in square brackets (e. g. ps 1s=[[píši]], [[píšu]]
), but this possibility cannot be used with parameters on which more cells depend. In such a case another parameter marked with number 2 has to be added:
|ps 1s = orám
|ps 1s2 = ořu
|pf 3s = orá
|pf 3s2 = oře
|pf 3p = orají
|pf 3p2 = ořou
|im 2s = orej
|im 2s2 = oř
|past ms= oral

The verbs which are conjugated according to the pattern kupovat have also colloquial forms in 1st person present singular and 3r person present plural. These can be shown as follows:
|pf 1s=kupuji
|pf 1s col=kupuju
|pf 3s=kupuje
|pf 3p=kupují
|pf 3p col=kupujou

Most verbs do not have distinct present and future forms in Czech language and so the table has just a short note on forming the future tense for the particular verb. Perfective verbs form use their present forms to express the future, which is indicated in the table as follows:
|pf 3s = pustí
|im 2s = pusť
…
|aspect = p
