Conjugating the verbs from the Little Czech Primer.

[miffy]

Ahoj,

I’m trying to conjugate all the verbs from The Little Czech Primer in the present tense (so following the pattern of: Já, ty, on/ona/ono, my, vy, oni/ony/ona or "I, you, he/she/it, we, you (pl), they")

I would really appreciate any corrections or help.. I’ve only done half so far, once I correct my mistakes in these ones I’ll finish the rest and edit my post.

Děkuji!

As far as I can tell the others are correct, although perhaps there are mistakes in čarkas, or there are other forms. Note that often, the 3rd person plural forms ending in -ají, -ují, etc. can be replaced colloquially with -ajou, -ujou, etc. You can also look up verb and noun forms on http://www.pravidla.cz, although they tell me that this is not an official page, and has some errors.

This is awesome, folks. I'd like to incorporate these conjugations into my site if that's okay with everyone here. Any objections?

That's great! I do not see a problem. But, I do not own this website either.

Form "bydlejí" is not correct. But I understand where the problem is hidden. In Czech we have (apart from other classes of verbs) three classes of verb:

with imperative ending on: -i
(e.g.: myslet, bydlet,... > mysli, bydli)
whose 3rd person plural is always -í (oni myslí, oni bydlí,...)

with imperative ending on: V-j
where V is vowel I or E
(e.g.: spět, pít... > spěj, pij,...)
whose 3rd person plural is always -Vjí (oni spějí, oni pijí...)

with imperative ending on: V-j
where V is vowel E
e.g.: muset
As "muset" is in English "to have to", there is no imperative form, but hypotheticaly, it would be "*musej"
Those verbs have either -í or -ejí as the termination for 3rd person plural
It is possible to say "oni musí" as well as "oni musejí"
Historically, the latter is more "correct" (but both forms are allowed), but still it is reserved (although as fully codified and accepted variant with no bad colocations nor implications) to spoken Czech and the former is used in written. For stylistical reasons, it good not to interchange them and use either one or the other.
However, in colloquial Czech (not low, but still not the highest form), it is possible to use for this class and the first mentiond class 3rd person plural termination -ej (oni musej, oni bydlej, oni myslej,...), but never in the second class (never say "oni spěj*" nor "oni pij"**).

*the colloquial form "oni spěj" is possible, but it is from different verb "spát" (to sleep), not "spět" (to head for):
spát (to sleep)
1st, sg.: já spím; imp.: spi; 3rd, pl.: oni spí (or colloquial: oni spěj)
spět (to head for)
1st, sg.: já spěji/spěju; imp.: spěj; 3rd, pl.: oni spějí (or colloquial: oni spějou)

**very dangerous form... as it is homophonic (and homographic) with the imperative of the same verb which is not really a problem, but it is homophonic with another word "pyj" which means litteraly "penis" (it is not a vulgarism, on the contrary, it is a word you may freely use when you are talking about it but still... no one likes if anyone says about him he's a penis). In the very mentioned form (with "oni" - they), it could be evoked, as the imperative do not really go with 3rd person plural and you are a foreigner (who are notorious to have problems with Czech conjugations especially with verb "být" - to be), it could evoke a copula (not copulation, copula is atributive construction of two nominal expressions without verb "be" meaning exactly the same as with the verb... though it is not used too much in Czech (but very common in Russian), a Czech can think that you as a foregner ommit the verb be and speak in copulas) meaning "they (are) penis(es)" (foreigners tend to have problems with declensions too:)).
